    We moved in to our house 4 years ago. Previous owners where there for 7 years, and bought from new. Yesterday we had our washing machine replaced. Couldn't believe my eyes once they had got the old machine out. Take a look at the photo. Shame our washing machine didn't pack up two years ago...

    Hello all, first time poster here, I have looked but don't see this issue mentioned. My old washing machine inlet pipe was leaking, not surprising given it was over 30 years old. It looks to have been a slow leak from the meeting between the rubber pipe and plastic connecter at the machine...

    Washing machine, dishwasher and single waste trap spiggot

    Hi, I've recently moved into a house with this waste trap (pictured) with twin spigots. As you can see the spigot on the left is already in use with the boiler of all things (?) so I'd rather not mess with that. The washing machine is now installed (after I took this picture) and uses the...

    Drain hose - integrated washing machine / condensing dryer

    Hi Would like to extend this hose to a total of 3.2m (which is ok in the manual) Can I route the hose down to floor level (so as to go underneath the oven and cabinets etc) before then coming back up to connect in to the sink? Or is that not allowed / would cause problems? Thanks! :)
