Thanks for the nice Clints.
It took about 8 weeks from builders ripping out the room including the ceilings and a hole in the chimney breast (which had been blocked up) to completion.
The builder was outstanding and really fast but the plumber and sparks he used were pretty useless. The work was decent in the end but i had to babysit them which I did not charge for! (I know there's a section for rants about other trades so I'll leave it there!)
I couldnt take final measurements for the cabs until builder and flooring guy were finished as they changed the room so much so the client was without a kitchen for longer than usual but we're very happy with the outcome. It felt like a tiny room before but with the alcoves fitted out and a tidy layout it feels about 25%bigger now. The kitchen is just an island (800 wide pull out bins, cuttlery drawer, 600 sink unit) a 900mm ish wide pan drawer unit with wall cab above and vegetable drawers with a pocket door unit above. The utility is where most storage is with a full height larder and magic corner unit.
