    Is that the only place a cooker can go? If you need to keep the window then perhaps move one of the existing units over to create a new location, depending on where wall cupboards etc are. We have had our cooker in 2 locations, we located in temporarily for 18 months and then moved it to where it is now. The bayonet fitting has the longest hose because we knew we'd want to move it later.

    Ah okay. This is getting confusing! Now I'm wondering whether we need to just suck it up and get a whole new kitchen on finance....

    Tiling it would be the easiest and probably best solution, it's a quick job and relatively cheap (depending on the tiles used), it looks good, and it is completely safe. Seems a bit extreme to fit a whole new kitchen for the sake of a few quid and a couple of hours work at most.

    From how you have described it is the window seal overhanging ?
    If so cut back the window seal flush with the wall
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
