Washing machines, dishwashers, and cookers reconnected at your new place. Everything installed properly, tested for leaks, and working before I leave. One less thing on your moving day checklist.
### Getting Your Kitchen Up and Running
You've moved in, the boxes are everywhere, and you just want a cup of tea and clean plates. But your **washer's in the kitchen disconnected**, the dishwasher's still wrapped in blankets, and that cooker definitely needs wiring in properly.
Professional reconnection means everything's working safely by the end of the day - no leaks, no electrical concerns, just functional appliances.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book reconnection for moving day afternoon or next day morning. Your kitchen's back in action quickly and you can crack on with unpacking.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Check Connections I assess what connections your new property has, make sure they match your appliances (or adapt them if not), and confirm everything needed is there. ### Step 2: Reconnect Carefully Each appliance gets connected properly - hoses tight, electrics secure, everything positioned correctly. No rushing, no leaks. ### Step 3: Test & Demonstrate Every appliance gets tested while I'm there. Washers and dishwashers run through a cycle to check for leaks. Cookers get powered up. I show you everything works, then clean up.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Full moving service?** I can handle disconnection at your old house, moving help (especially heavy or awkward appliances), then reconnection at your new place. One person, one job, less hassle. **Different valve types?** Your new house might have push-fit valves, your old one had screw fittings - this is really common. I usually carry the adaptors needed, or can advise what to get if it's unusual. **Integrated dishwashers?** These need securing to the worktop and the door panel fitted correctly - it's fiddly and easy to get wonky. Worth having someone do it properly the first time. **Old Exeter properties?** Sometimes the plumbing is... creative. I'm used to working with odd valve positions, non-standard fittings, and the occasional surprise. Better to have someone who's seen it all before.
Frequently Asked Questions about Appliance reconnect in Dawlish
Can you reconnect my washing machine even if I disconnected it myself?
Yes - as long as you've got the hoses and the connections at your new place are there, I can reconnect and test it. I'll check for leaks and make sure everything's secure before I go.
What if the connections at my new house are different?
Quite common, especially older Dawlish properties. I carry common adaptors and fittings - often I can sort it on the spot. If not, I'll advise what's needed and can come back once you've got the parts.
Do you test everything works properly?
Absolutely. Washing machines and dishwashers get run on a short cycle to check for leaks. Electric ovens get powered up and tested. I don't leave until everything's working as it should.
Can you reconnect built-in electric ovens?
Yes - I connect them back to the cooker circuit connection plate, test they're working, and make sure they're secure in the housing. It's electrical work but straightforward stuff I do regularly.
How long does reconnecting multiple appliances take?
Full kitchen setup (washing machine, dishwasher, maybe a cooker) usually takes 1.5-2 hours. Includes testing everything and dealing with any quirks of your new house's plumbing and electrics.
