2 years ago my builder fitted a kitchen, and I asked for a 90cm space for a range cooker.
Today, we finally got the range cooker after saving for 2 years!
AO arrived, measured, said it won't fit. The gap is 89.6cm and it needs 10mm either side.
Still no cooker.
I am hoping that by lifting the worktops and moving them sideways so flush with the end panel, I can get enough space. The fridge has over 10mm on the right side, and the left end of left worktop has nothing blocking it. We have vinyl flooring cut around the units, so don't want to move the whole unit sideways.
I've unscrewed part of the worktop, seems the only sealant is the silicon between worktop and wall. But I cannot work out how to remove the drawer to get to the other screws.
Any tips?
Also, AO told me they cannot fit without a splashback in place - but totally failed to tell me this twice on the phone when arranging the delivery, even though I am buying the splashback from them, and they phoned to tell me delivery was delayed!
