  • Scanning through this, I know you’re oppposed to full-height cupboards but the boiler really shouldn’t be on display. We moved ours from an upstairs bathroom (to free up space) and got it built into a cupboard with our washing machine. Access for maintenance through a pull out panel. Pic from when it was all still being finished off.

  • but the boiler really shouldn’t be on display

    Seems that most agree:

    Recent research undertaken by npower showed that more than half of people (57 per cent) would want to knock £5,000 off the asking price of a property if it had an exposed boiler. That amount is more than the typical cost of a new heating appliance. The research also showed that 68 per cent of Brits would be put off buying a property if the boiler was uncovered.

    I shall get this changed so that it's in a cupboard.

    Now wondering whether the depth of cabinets allows a cupboard door to be in front of a freestanding washing machine. Probably not, but I'll check.

  • Cabinets don’t need to be deeper, just further from the wall. Spec a deeper worktop to compensate. Was an option I explored before realising I didn’t want to spend any money sorting our shit kitchen out just for it to be knocked down.
