This is what we're doing - floating engineered wood floor over sponge roll with the gold foil. Everywhere online (including the flooring shop) says lay up to the kitchen, not under. Though some of the reasons seem to be because the weight of the kitchen would stop the floor from being able to expand/contract properly.
Think we're just going to have to find our own kitchen fitter that's a bit more open to what we need. Sigh.
Maybe we can just cut a square of standard ply out for under the dishwasher as it's the only fitted appliance - fridge will be free standing (we'll have to put the flooring into it's space), washing machine is in a different room.

We tend to have click flooring with spongy underlay rather than a permanently tiled solution. Underlay would sink with heavy cabinets permanently fitted.
All I did was fit my flooring in the appliance apertures. It was only the fridge and dishwasher in my case.
