    Just a thought here, Seeing as you havent yet bought your cooker, you might want to expand your options on the cooker choice of model. ( Some cookers work from a simple plug-in, - others require 6mm connecting to terminals at the rear of the housing.) Seeing as your kitchen will be...

    Moving an Electricity Meter

    Yes. I had them move mine. Expect to pay highly! Tip: If possible have the new location ' back down the line' of the existing location. Its easier for them( Hence cheaper for you) to cut back the supply cables, than to replace them with a longer run from their last junction point!

    Electric Fire

    I'd certainly be sure to check there is enough space behind the fire to allow dissipation of any heat buliding up at the back. If not you would find the cable quickly melting! Is the fire designed to be fixed directly to the wall? And yes, you could use a switched FCU and connect direct...

    Hiding pipework

    What is it exactly you want to hide - the pipes or patches of stain? I'm not a plumber, but I do know that copper pipework buried in plaster eventually corrodes ( if not protected) so is the wall stained?
