Moving a kitchen
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.58 PM
Hi all. Planning to make an offer on a ground floor flat that's got a galley kitchen next to the lounge. I'd like to move the kitchen to another spot and take down the wall between the two rooms. Any firm rules on what can/can't be done in terms of positioning the moved kitchen? e.g. must be on an external wall, must be near existing plumbing, etc... Cheers in advance.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

providing the existing units will fit there shouldn't be a problem . just remember things like ,ducting for the hob fan ,decore end panels for the end units if they are going to be seen, the light pelmit and cornice if you have them ,also will the work tops be long enough for the new layout .

There are some important things you need to consider when you want to move a kitchen to another place. Starting from the wall where the wall units will be installed, you need to make sure that the Wall can support the Weight and is safe. If the wall it's build with bricks, there aren't problems, in the case is a plasterboard wall, you need to do some extra work before proceed with the fitting of the wall units. After that you should make sure that the water pipes, sink drain, gas pipes if you have gas hob and oven, ducting hob fan and electrical wires are in the correct position relative to the kitchen design. If the Layout remains the original one, Side panels, cornice and topwork can be reused. I recommend checking everything first and allowing the plumber and electrician to do any work before installing the kitchen.

Ideally, it should be on an external wall where the waste outlet can join an existing external drain and fan vent an easily be routed outside without lots of ducting. It's not impossible to route them from other walls but it may end up with extra expense and unsightly pipes to box in.

You can move a kitchen cabinet, and bring to another room , but you have to make sure to put all the facilities in place like electricity gas and hot and cold water pipes and all the cabinets might not be fit .if the work top is long enough it can be reused but the problem with the end panels if have been scribe to fit the original wall it might no fit the new wall So before you plan to go ahead you should work out all these detail cheers
