Does fitting an appliance always include its service connection?

No. Cabinet fitting, appliance positioning, plumbing, gas and electrical connections should each be confirmed in writing.

Why are model numbers needed before fitting?

Specifications determine cabinet compatibility, ventilation, clearances, power, water, waste and door arrangements.

Specifications Before Installation

Integrated Kitchen Appliance Installation

Cabinets, ventilation, clearances and agreed service connections checked around the actual appliance specifications.

Model Details Matter

An Appliance Is Part of the Kitchen Design

Integrated ovens, dishwashers, refrigeration, washing machines, extractors and specialist hobs each place different demands on cabinets and services. A generic appliance label is not always enough to fit the real product correctly.

TLS Kitchens checks the specification against the cabinet, door system, ventilation, access and proposed service position. The written scope distinguishes physical fitting from plumbing, gas or electrical connection.

Provide model numbers before cabinets or worktops are ordered wherever possible. Late substitutions can change cut-outs, doors, clearances and connections.

Common Questions

Integrated Appliance FAQs

Are water connections included automatically?

No. Positioning and water, waste, gas or electrical connections must be stated in the quotation.

Can I use existing appliances?

Potentially, if specifications, condition, cabinetry and connection requirements are suitable.

Can appliances change after ordering?

Sometimes, but dimensions, door systems, ventilation, cut-outs and services must be rechecked.

Who supplies the appliances?

The quotation should identify product supply, physical fitting and service connections separately.
