Kitchen Fitting

Installation of dishwasher via plumbing under the floorboards?

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.13 PM

We have a fairly small kitchen, roughly 2.9m x 2.2m. The pluming for the kitchen (e.g. where the sink and washing machine are located) are on one side of the kitchen (against the exterior wall). We now want to fit a dishwasher along the opposite wall (interior). Is this possible? Presumably we would need to run pipes under the floor? If it helps, we are aware that the stopcock is under the middle of the kitchen floor, pretty much half way between the washing machine and the place we would like to add the dishwasher. We were thinking that perhaps we would move this to somewhere more accessible (e.g. under the sink), before re-tiling the kitchen at some point, but that's a separate issue really. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, the water supply to the dishwasher will not be a problem going under the floorboards as you have stated, but the waste water pipe may be a little more tricky, dependant on where your waste supply for the rest of the kitchen is. If there is enough space under the floorboards then the waste pipe could be an easy install aswell aslong as there is enough fall on the pipe. Hope this helps! Regards, Gary
