Household Appliance Delivery and Installation Services
Fitted By Experts
Whilst it is becoming increasingly common for many devices around the home to come with the convenience of "plug and play" technology; the reality is that most domestic appliances are not “plug & play” compatible. We believe your new kitchen appliance should be installed by an expert, given the inherent dangers of working with a device that uses water and/or electrical current. We accept that some of our customers are perfectly capable of installing kitchen appliances safely.

The risks of fitting appliances yourself
When you consider how few people genuinely read the instruction manual, it is not surprising that many installations quickly turn into a costly nightmares. We urge in the strongest possible terms that where a customer is undertaking their own installations, the manufacturer guidelines are always followed.
Health and safety
Household appliances come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and weights. Although the item itself may seem manageable to some people, you should also consider that the appliance will arrive packaged for transport. Often it will be on a heavy wooden palette and include a deep frame of polystyrene to protect it during transit. For those of us who are not trained how to lift and manoeuvre heavy objects, man-handling a large appliance up a few steps and into your home can be a dangerous experience - one that your back may never forgive you for. Our delivery team know exactly how to lift and deliver items safely.
Invalidating your warranty
Fitting something like a washing machine may seem completely straight forward to many people, but anyone can make a simple mistake. The problem is, if you make an error that damages your new appliance, you are unlikely to be covered under your manufacturer's warranty. It would be a shame to be stuck with a broken appliance before you even had the chance to use it. It could be an expensive mistake and one that is completely avoidable if you choose our very popular Installation Service.
