Rotating the kitchen island?

6 replies

Has anyone ever rotated a kitchen island? It's a drawer unit, no power or water supply. I think it's just bolted into the floor (stone slabs) so think it should be fairly straightforward - just unscrew, drill new holes, bolt back into place. DH has an appropriate drill as the whole place is stone.

Wondering if there's anything I'm not thinking about, anything important to consider? Clearance around will be the broadly the same, will just offer a bit more space as you walk through the kitchen.

Can you fill any holes in the stone from the previous screw positions?

@PragmaticWench I think so - we've got some lime mortar that was used to re-lay the floor when we had the kitchen done so I think that should be ok.

Provided the stone runs completely under it then it sounds straightforward enough, although I'm not an expert!

Are you sure the floor covering runs underneath?

How long has it been there - will there be discolouration/sun bleaching to the floor that'll be obvious when you rotate it?

@Pumpkintopf floor covering definitely runs underneath, it's the original limestone flooring the cottage was built with. Good point on discolouration though, we had it professionally cleaned just before the kitchen was installed so the surrounding floor might be grubbier now.

Hopefully another clean if needed will sort that though? Fingers crossed!
