"Hi Susan,
It is possible, but without having a look to see what’s needed it’s hard to price up."
"Hi,
It comes down to the space needed to install the dishwasher? If this existing cupboard allow for this to done? Normally an integrated unit is installed which is made for a dishwasher."
"An integrated dishwasher does not sit in a cupboard. You have to remove a cupboard to fit it into its space
You can get a 450mm or 600mm dishwasher integrated. You would need a cupboard exactly that size to remove to fit the dishwasher into its space.
You then mount a cupboard door onto the dishwasher using the mounting kit supplied with your dishwasher.
You would also need a switched fused spur to supply power to the dishwasher and some small alterations to the existing plumbing"
"Hi
It all depends on the space needed to install the dishwasher. If your current cupboard space allows for this to be done then it should be ok. Normally they have to be made to measure. Price can vary upon time, material any complication etc, so starting from £100 going upwards."
"Depends on size of cupboard. It could be possible. Be about £100 depending where you are."

You would need a kitchen fitter or joiner to customize the area first.
Thanks
