This one has been bugging me for days so thought would run it by you guys in case I'm missing something really obvious.
Had a call off someone who had bought a dishwasher as a surprise for their wife and wanted the waste and water pipes fitting, only issue is that the dishwasher had to be on the opposite side of the kitchen (see drawing below) and there was already a fitted kitchen in place. He also wanted all the work done in a 4-5 hour window as it was meant to be a surprise for his wife. He sent me some photos and I couldn't think of any way to plumb a solid waste pipe to the dishwasher in that time frame.
After calling him back to turn down the job, he told me he'd had someone off mybuilder who told him it would be doable and was prepared to do it for £120 + parts.
The only way I can think that the mybuilder plumber could have done it in that time frame is by using hose extensions on the waste. There's got to be at least 6m run from dishwasher to the sink, which would require connecting multiple flexis under the kitchen units, surely that's not a sound way to do this?
As I missing something here, is there a practical way to run a solid waste pipe around the U shaped kitchen with units already in place (and a gas oven in the middle)?
