Placing built-in cooker

[57notout]

We have a kitchen designed by a muppet on prozac, and would like to swap things round so the kitchen can be a proper one.
The built-in oven and hob are on an external wall, but the rest of the kitchen is on the other side of the room. If I move the oven it could only go along an internal party wall. Are there any regulations on this? Or is it just a bad idea? I imagine it wouldn't do the paintwork any good but that's a small price to pay for a decent kitchen.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Why not?

If an oven is generating so much heat outside it that it damages paintwork then there's something wrong with it, not where it is.

No problem with that

My only advice would be to consider the ventilation of cooking fumes. I know of a kitchen where the oven is on an internal wall and all the cooking smells circulate all over the house and linger for ages (not my kitchen I hasten to add). If on an external wall you might at least have windows to help vent.

Also consider the hob fumes too, although these are easier to deal with using a decent extractor hood.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've not come across built in ovens and hobs on an internal wall and I was concerned that there would be a weird and wonderful regulation somewhere about this.

The paintwork comment was based on my thinking that a fan oven draws air in and also vents hot air out at the back, but I don't know much about their design . And there would be a cooker hood to extract to the outside via a short run of tubing, plus the appropriate cooker isolation switch (positioned correctly) and wiring etc.

Thanks again!!
