Cost of plumbing in a washing machine

I've just bought a reconditioned washing machine. How much would it cost to have someone plumb it in for me? I assume a handyman can do it rather needing a plumber? I have mobility issues, so I can't do it myself but I'm scared of being ripped off.

"Best way to find assurance in the price is to get 3 quotes for the job. Easy to do. Post the job on here with as much info as possible and pics if you can then tradespeople will be in touch. If no one replies then try another site. Hard to give you a price without knowing more about the job. Handyman should be able to help, expect to pay £20-30 per hour. Hope this helps."
