Water meter and washing machine
Bought a flat and this space is where the washing machine goes. It’s about 60cm so just about takes a washing machine. I need to get a water meter because the standard Thames Water charge without one is crazy.
A Thames Water guy said that the meter has to go on that right side where the tape is with a pipe running along that unit. This would mean that there is no longer space for a washing machine. I said if we cut a hole where the tape is could the meter sit on the other side, inside the cupboard (2nd pic). He said yes but then I realised that still wouldn’t leave enough space.
Is there any reason why if part of the cupboard unit was cut away the piping and meter could go on the inside of the cupboard? So effectively would be an inch or 2 to the right of where he was saying
