Hello,
can anyone maybe shed some light on this?
I've already heard from two companies that they cannot provide a quote for installing the washbasins we supplied ourselves because they are not allowed to install them dürfen. Even our plumber, who is handling the rest of the house installations, said he is not allowed to do it. Then I asked a carpentry company installing our staircase, and they also say they are not allowed to do it. I am also not receiving any offers or inquiries from my request for quotes on MyHammer.
I'm missing a piece of the puzzle here to understand. Why exactly is no one allowed to do this?

As far as I know, this is related to defect liability. From the moment a company installs the washbasin, that company assumes the warranty for the washbasin, even if the washbasin itself is not sold by them.

I suspect this is about fear of warranty claims. However, I find it puzzling that you cannot find anyone even on Meinhammer. Have you tried the major classifieds portal?

Well, that’s because their order books are full, and a company doesn’t make any profit from just quickly screwing something in. They lose out on the high margin from the washbasin.
"Not allowed" would only apply if you’re dealing with a developer, since you don’t own the property yet.
In all other cases, it’s at most a directive from the boss and basically means "don’t want to."
And this unwillingness is completely common in the industry. So, you have to do it yourself.

I would also say, just do it yourself. It’s not rocket science, and definitely not magic.

Just briefly mount the things yourself on the wall, or check the classifieds in the magazine. Someone will get in touch with you very quickly.
