Separate appliance access from the plumbing connection
A leak noticed beneath an integrated dishwasher or washing machine may involve the appliance, its supply or the waste connection. Say when it happens and whether the appliance has recently been moved or replaced. Stop using equipment that is leaking and keep clear of water near electrical connections.
An integrated unit may need to be released from cabinetry before a connection can be inspected. Agree who is authorised to move it and whether specialist appliance support is needed. We can discuss the plumbing scope without promising to repair the appliance itself. Send the installation details for a replacement beforehand, rather than assuming every new machine uses the same accessible arrangement.
Knightsbridge spans borough boundaries, so postcode shorthand is not enough for permission or access checks. Supply the full address and the correct building contact, especially where an apartment has services maintained under a wider building agreement.
Check concierge arrangements, lift bookings and any protected-floor requirements with your building. For external work, use the local authority for the actual address; the linked Kensington and Chelsea guidance applies only within that borough.

Good to know.
Does plumbing attendance include repairing the dishwasher itself?
Not automatically. Supply and waste connections are different from an internal appliance fault. We discuss the boundary of the plumbing work and whether an appliance specialist is the appropriate next contact.
