Appliance Water Supply Replacement

Appliance water supply replacement is a planned service to renew the hoses and shut-off valves feeding appliances like washing machines and dishwashers. It reduces the risk of leaks, improves reliability, and makes it easier to isolate the appliance for maintenance or replacement.

More information

What this service covers

This service replaces worn, damaged, or poorly fitted appliance feed components so the connection is safe, secure, and easy to isolate.

  • Replacement of appliance water supply hoses (for example, washing machine or dishwasher feeds)
  • Replacement or installation of local isolation valves where needed
  • Correct fitting of connectors and seals for the appliance and existing pipework
  • Leak checks and functional testing under normal pressure
  • Basic advice on safe use, shut-off points, and what to monitor after the visit

When appliance water supply replacement is most useful

  • You have a dripping or seized isolation valve under a sink or behind an appliance
  • A hose is kinked, perished, bulging, or has a history of weeping at the connector
  • You are fitting a new appliance and want the supply renewed at the same time
  • You are a landlord or property manager reducing the chance of call-outs and water damage
  • You want a simple way to isolate an appliance without turning off the whole property

How the work is carried out

First, the water supply is isolated and the line is safely depressurised. The existing hose or valve is removed, the connection points are checked, and new parts are fitted to suit the appliance and pipework.

All joints are then tested for leaks and the appliance supply is checked for correct operation. The area is left tidy, and you will be shown how to isolate the appliance supply.

After the visit: ongoing reliability

You will get clear guidance on what has been changed and what to look out for after the first use. If access is tight or the appliance needs moving, you can agree the best approach before work starts to avoid damage to flooring, units, or the appliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which appliances can you replace water supply hoses or valves for?
This is commonly done for washing machines, dishwashers and other cold water fed appliances. If you tell us the appliance type and where it is located, we can confirm what is suitable before the visit.
Do I need to provide the replacement hose or valve?
In most cases, the correct parts can be supplied and fitted as part of the job. If you have already bought parts, we can fit them if they are compatible and in good condition.
How long does appliance water supply replacement take?
Many replacements are straightforward and can be completed in a single visit. Timing depends on access, the condition of existing fittings, and whether any pipework adjustments are needed.
Will you need to turn off the water to the whole property?
Where possible, only the local appliance supply is isolated. If there is no working local valve, the mains may need to be turned off briefly while the new valve or connection is installed.
What if you find a leak or damaged pipework behind the appliance?
If an issue is found, it will be explained clearly along with the safest options to resolve it. With your approval, minor remedial work can often be completed there and then, or booked as a follow-on job.
