How Far Can a Washing Machine be from the sink?

[Tee444]

I had some units fitted to my kitchen and the builder did not leave room for the washing machine to be by the sink. I cannot remove the unit and work surface ( as the machine will stick out on top ). So i decided that i would like the washing machine to be placed across ( 2 metres ) across from the taps. However there is a door ( which leds into the garden) in between.

Please can anyone tell me what can be done? In terms of the water getting to the washing machine. I have a boiler above where the washing machine is but advised not to take a feed from the boiler as this can cause damage down the line . Any ideas? .. Help!

If its a combi boiler you can tee in to the cold supply to it no problem,
You just need a gulley outside for the waste water , washing machines don't need to be near Sinks.

Thanks for addressing my concern @gasbanni . Unfortunately, the boiler isnt a combi

What boiler is it? Are you able to tee in elsewhere (eg under floorboards) and run a feed down?

No @Chris_W, i had floorboards recently put down by the council. It is not my property , so i cannot be messing with that
