I did to just behind the plinths as couldn't face re-levelling the cabinets after and that was the recommendation from the kitchen fitter and the flooring people. I did roll the fridge out and lay the tiles to the wall under that, it was all offcuts anyway.
The integrated underlay is a 1-2mm foam backing that seems ok. Don't think it would soak up much flooring imperfection. The green stuff is just the cheapest Screwfix vapour barrier as the floor underneath is the concrete foundation slab of the house.
I did that as I have kids who spill water constantly.
Our previous owner left carpets threadbare and crawling with moth larve. We walked into the house on completion, cried and went to my parents for the weekend.
We fumigated the house and however long after rentokill told us the reproductive cycle was, tore out the carpets.
No idea why but Evocore seems to have got really pricey. We got ours for under £28/m².
The salesman and I forgot about matching trim so had to buy that last week and pay for the extra delivery costs.It's a nice enough floor but I wouldn't be wedded to buying evocore again.

Looks nice. Did you go all the way behind the cupboards to the wall and just leave under the dishwasher, or does it end just behind the plinth? How are you getting on with integrated underlay / what's the green stuff / what does the room have under that?
I need to bite the bullet and start on our living room as the carpet is extra smelly from the 3 dogs of the previous owner, plus leaving it sorta damp for 2 weeks between the unexpectedly wet cleaning and the moving.
Also I immediately checked Evocore Premium prices once more, thinking it would come to cheaper than the Karndean Korlok RKP8111 we have our eyes on, but to my suprise the Evocore premium range is more expensive for some reason...
