In answer to your issues:

1. As others have said, the stop tap can be moved to a more suitable location (such as under the sink) so I wouldn't worry about that.

2. As for needing 2 extractors, who the hell told you that? I've never heard of an extractor for a built-under oven before! It's not a problem to separate the oven & hob.

3. You could hide the boiler with a dresser-type unit, which would line up with the top of the wall units, and go down onto the worktops. Alternatively you could use a slightly larger wall unit (again, lined up with the wall units at the top) and box in the pipework below.

Have you included any end panels in the price you've got from DIY Kitchens? You'll need a few of those with that design, so that might bump the price up by a couple/few hundred pounds. You can do it without end panels, but the end result will look like it's been done on the cheap, particularly if you use DIY Kitchens units.

As others have said, Prem may cover Oldham. If he doesn't, I do.   I couldn't do it sooner than 4-6 weeks though...

I agree with everything Jonny has posted. 

I prefer my kitchens flat packed as they are easier to modify on site whereas rigid built are difficult to dismantle as they are all glued and dowelled. There is no real benefit to having a rigid built kitchen as the term "rigid" is a bit of a misnomer. They tend to use lightweight materials and are anything but rigid.

You would do well to go with an independent local designer/fitter and don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. As Luke says, previous satisfied customers will always be happy to show you the finished job. It's not always about the way the kitchen looks but the service they received during the install, ie timekeeping, general attitude of the fitter, timescales in which the job was done, tidying up at the end of the day, etc, etc....

Any fitter worth his salt would be able to bespoke build you a unit to fit around the boiler using carcase material and suitably sized fascias.

You'll find plenty of good advice on here and hopefully someone to do the work for you.

For geographical reasons I would recommend JRB or PREM. Both of them are on our Fitters Directory which can be linked to from the top of the page or you could just send them a PM. Good luck with your search and let us know how you get on. I know many members of the public have come on here looking for supply and fit and have been more than happy with the service they received.

Edit: Just seen Prem's reply so I would recommend contacting Jonny. You can view plenty of examples of his work on here if you search his posts and threads.
