I'd like to install an outside tap and have bought a thru wall flange/ copper pipe. I want the pipe (15 mm diameter) to enter the interior of the house in a small gap (around 3 cm) between my washing machine and a fixed bench. How would I go about drilling this hole? I've read that you should drill from the outside of the house, but I think my margins for error are too small, and it would have to be perfectly straight. I've considered drilling from the inside of the house, but the bench is in the way! Any advice on how to proceed? Cheers!

You Could try with an extra long Masonry Drill, and drill a pilot hole from the inside (Extra long Drill 1 metre in length.) although it sounds as though its going to be tight for space to fit pipe/tee/ isolater/ non return valve etc
Move the bench or re-site hole to a more suitable position, should be plenty of room behind the washing machine.
