cheers! Ian the joiner’s back soon to do the understairs doors, so might give him some more work - on the opposite side of the kitchen (same kind of run of wall units) there’s a copper pipe run from the boiler to upstairs that hugs the top of the wall and follows the ceiling pitch, so was thinking about potentially having a big ply panel using the nice B/BB stuff to cover everything from the top of the units up both sides. I’m a sucker for symmetry..!
Extraction hose is probably a good candidate for boxing.
Attach 3 pieces of 2x1 to the walls, cover in 8mm wrmdf, paint to match walls.
I think there are rules about access hatches in the boxing these days, plumbers need to test the void or something similar.
