Hello everyone,
we are just starting the interior finishing. Now we have to take care of the pipe for the laundry chute, as it is not included in the house package. We have received a quote from our plumbing company. The price almost shocked us: 1800 euros. Is that normal? Have you paid that much as well? It includes all materials and installation. But it’s still quite a lot of money.
The pipe is supposed to be 5 meters (16 feet) long with a diameter of 30 cm (12 inches).
Are there any alternatives to the standard PVC pipe?

Thank you for the many responses,
I’ve heard that with a spiral-seam duct, you have to drill through the pipe to fasten it. Won’t the laundry get caught when sliding down?
Our laundry chute is supposed to run from the basement up to the upper floor. The openings are already in the concrete ceilings.

So, no screws were used inside the pipes themselves.
