Ask a Trade

Ask your QuestionWe’ve just ordered a dishwasher (we don’t currently have one) and paid extra for them to install it. The only cabinet we presume the slimline can fit in (and there’s a switch for it above) is a slim cabinet between the sink and oven.
We cleared out the cabinet today with intentions of removing it (AO said the space needs to be ready for the dishwasher to be installed) however the oven has a pipe coming out of it which juts out into that cabinet space at the back and will prevent the dishwasher from fitting in.
How do we go about getting around this? What sort of tradesmen would I need to request to sort out the oven pipe and cabinet for our dishwasher? It’s due to arrive next Friday!
"You would need to get a registered gas installation engineer to move the gas pipe. A kitchen fitter or carpenter would be able to out the cabinet"
