"Arrange for a plumber to run the pipework before the kitchen is fitted.
Will then be much easier to fit and potentially cause less damage to the units once the kitchen has been fitted."

"You will usually find that the kitchen fitters know about domestic plumbing, but if not then usually what happens is that you'd call a plumber to run the pipework or alter it to where the dishwasher is being situated, and then once kit hen is fitted, simply connect the hose from the machine on to the washing machine valve that plumber has fitted and turn the lever on.
These are nearly always fitted on cold not hot water!"

"I would arrange for your plumber to do first fix before units are fitted, then depending on whether kitchen fitters are competent to install the final connections then great. If not plumber will come and second fix the installation."
