Hi
When our Magnet kitchen was first measured, we were told that the units would be deep enough to cover our Worcester 30 CDI boiler. We were later advised that this was not the case, but a workaround would be found to allow boxing.
We went with this, even though fitter subsequently had to remove the inspection front cover of boiler.
We then mentioned our annual BG service and the need for " access" etc. The fitter casually said this could be achieved by removing plinth.
We had British Gas here yesterday to do annual service and they were unable to gain access to remove boiler cover. This largely due to position of plinth, inability to access top spring of boiler to unlock and remove cover and also need to take cupboard door off.
The BG engineer insisted that removal of boiler cover would be impossible without a section of timber being hacked off to allow access to, and raising of boiler spring etc.
I went back to Magnet and they are coming out next week to assess. However, they insist that removal of "pelmet" is all that is needed to allow boiler cover to be removed.
We knew there would have to be modifications due to depth of boiler (not ancient) but wonder whether we just have to accept that boxing not practical.
Below are photos to illustrate.
Would appreciate your views before visit next week.
Thanks
(There is added complication of proximity of boiler to integrated oven, so may still be unable to pull cover off, despite other modificatiobs)
