Ask your QuestionWe moved into a house with a broken oven. All the ones to replace it are 90cm wide and the existing oven and gap are 89.5cm. There is a single cupboard to the right of the oven with worktop above (probably about 50cm long) so I think the best solution is to take out this bit of worktop, trim off c.1cm and then reseal it back in. Does this sound possible and how much might it cost? To a layman, it sounds like with the right tools it could be quite a quick job.
Asked by Jessica on 27th May 2020"If the cupboard next to oven is a base unit you might be able to unscrew it and move it over. Depends how it’s all been fitted or you may have to get a new oven unit and base unit. Some pictures would be better to see what we are looking at."

Is this an integrated oven?
I would be surprised if you couldn’t find a replacement without having to make adjustments to your kitchen.
Don’t just look at the oven title heading. Look at the technical specs and you might find that they are not actually 90cm.
Good luck.
