Just wondering if anyone has any advice, as I'm not very good at DIY or design or anything of any practical use!
My kitchen used to have a built in hob and oven.
This was replaced against my wishes with a freestanding cooker. To do this, the worktop was cut to make room between the floor units. There's only just enough room in this space for a 60cm cooker (I think there's supposed to be more clearance either side, but whatever - I haven't set fire to anything yet).
The oven stopped working a while ago, and I hate the cooker anyway, so I really want to replace it with a built in hob and oven. But that section of worktop has been removed.
I don't want to replace the whole worktop - it's very long and there are tiles above it. It would be a major hassle.
Is there any way to replace the missing section of worktop with a new section, and cut a hole in it for a new hob? Maybe with a support at the wall and metal brackets at the sides to join it to the existing worktop? Or is this a stupid and completely impossible idea?
