Have you looked at Ikea - I have just added a metal shutter unit to my Ikea kitchen. Also handles etc look very much like our replaced units all Ikea also.

Just had a peak and it does rather look like Ikea, many thanks! The shutter unit online looks slightly different to mine so maybe a newer version :T

I agree with zzzLazyDaisy though, and would consider a freestanding dishwasher – it would be very easy to install it where your washing machine currently is.

(Personally, I don’t like washing machines in kitchens, so if you have the option of turning an outside toilet into a utility room – great!)

Deffo a good plan to get the washing machine in the outside toilet- just need to see if I can get a water supply out there and it'll be fine!

Looks like my Ikea kitchen too but mine's stainless steel. There is a grey piece of plastic on the inside of each door to stop the door banging onto the frame, it says Ikea on that too. I've got a fitted dishwasher too and I think I'm right in saying that it needs just a normal 600mm space.

As the owner, also ask how long it has been installed, even if you go to there supplier the white will now have a slight colour diff as the d/washer door will be new.
same goes with looking at other suppliers, all the whites will be different from each.
The tambour fronts are easy to and all standard sizes really so could be anyone

ask the owner (sorry)

If it is from Ikea, the base unit doors will be a slightly different height from the UK standard.

Ikea doors are 700 mm tall, UK standard is 720 mm.
