Thanks guys

So here are my issues..

Issue 1: The water meter/stop tap is about 700mm in from the back right corner on the back wall, it is making any plans i create asymmetrical and that's bugging me a little bit. It's about 360mm wide and currently juts out into the cabinet that's there (I could take a pic of this if you'd like to see?) Can any cabinets just be 'cut out' to accommodate it?

Issue 2: I want to keep the gas hob on the back wall in the center with a chimney hood above but I want to move the built in oven (under counter) to the right wall.
I've been told I can't do that as I'd then need two extractors..?? I never use an extractor for the oven, only the hob! So confused.


Issue 3: My new boiler is huge compared to the old one (much taller) My idea was to get a 900mm high wall unit and sit this on a  plinth base straight onto the worktop, adding more plinth above so that all the wall units line up at the top. Would this work?



P.S my current kitchen is an 'L' shape, left wall and right wall units only but I want the full 'U' shape. I also have an almost new dishwasher (slimline 450mm) and washing machine (free standing) that I don't want to get rid of as they cost a fortune!

I have priced up everything I would need from diy kitchens and including cabinets, doors, handles, sink, tap, hood, worktops, plinths, cornice etc etc comes to £2600 ish for a grey shaker style with walnut effect laminate tops. Has anyone any experience with diy kitchens? The seem good, blum hinges (I've been doing my homework) delivered rigid built but would appreciate other opinions. The only downside is waiting 4 weeks for delivery. I can't tell you how impatient I am to have this done. Anyway, I have attached some of my scribblings, would appreciate if people would see if I'm on the right track or not?

My next problem is finding a fitter near me...! Who knew it was so complicated. I do not want to go with any of the 'big' firms.

Thank you all

Sorry for the ramblings
