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?

You can offer them to bill the work under a different description instead of washbasin installation, which will relieve them from liability.

You’re not actually recommending undeclared work, are you? Seriously? Just use the term “cash payments” instead of undeclared work and that’s fine.

Try asking one of the usual "jack-of-all-trades" caretaker services.
We arranged with the contractors in our house beforehand to supply some items ourselves (stone washbasin, light switches...). It wasn’t a problem. So there should be a way. That’s a good idea, a colleague just recommended an all-round caretaker to me. Maybe I’ll get lucky.

If you’re willing to pay well for the installation and make it clear that you want these washbasins and that saving money isn’t your first priority, you will find a tradesperson. Offer them to write the invoice under something other than washbasin installation, and then they’re released from liability. That’s also a good idea. At least it’s “semi-official,” and I don’t have to ask anyone if they do BAT. I’m not really a fan of that; I like paying my taxes and believe others should too. But what can you do when no one wants to do it invoiced?

Or simply... place a stylish table against the wall and put the sink on it, if the model allows.
