Hi I’m looking for help please, I had a joiner / plumber out today to fit a dishwasher into my cupboard space after being advised from the same company that I could be done and quoted, he removed the inside unit but could not go ahead with the work as he advised the dishwasher was a little to big to add the plinth back on and cupboard door. I have now been charged and left with a empty space as base was removed and no dishwasher fitted, I have plinth at the bottom and now realising how was the door on the dishwasher supposed to open once the plinth was fitted again, should I order an intregated dishwasher, I’m so confused with all this. I got the company to attend and check last month to be told yes we can fit it told me what to order then it’s came to today and it can’t be done, I have been charged for this work and he hasn’t put my cupboard back on or base back in, I have a washing machine in at other side. please help.

You can't fit a non integrated dishwasher into the space between two cupboards and expect the plinth and cupboard door to remain in place.
Yes but as before you would have to remove the existing cupboard surround too.

Dishwashers are either 400mm or 600mm so you need same size space for intergrated.

You need accurate measurements to be sure.
I have a cupboard that is (I think) 450 mm wide.
My old freestanding dishwasher would have stuck out.
Eventually I replaced the old one with an integrated dishwasher and packed the sides.
You might have issues with depth.
To be fair, if a company says that they can do a job and discovers that they can’t do it half way through, they shouldn’t charge? Depends on whether they definitely say they can.
