So you’ve decided to redesign your kitchen. Before you start planning your shiny new units and tiles there are a lot of design, electrical and gas implications to bear in mind too. You may need to upgrade your consumer unit and earth bonding due to a change of electrical positioning. If you move the position of the sink, dishwasher or washing machine there may also be additional complications with the waste water pipe, and this would apply to the gas position too. The best way to get a confirmed cost would be to talk to your chosen supplier and ask them to create a design that accommodates all of your ideas. Any questions will be confirmed by the position of the units.
