Cant find a 300 Depth Base Unit?

Help please. I have had a little utility room built off my kitchen and I am looking for a 300 depth x 1000 width Base unit cupboard but I cant seem to find one anywhere?

Use a wall unit and add feet, get a local cabinet maker to make you a bespoke one or build one yourself. The cheapest & lowest quality will be an off the shelf wall unit but as it's a utility it will probably be fine.

No need to find one, depth of the sides can be reduced with a circular saw.

Even wall units are usually about 40cm deep.

I think you'll have to DIY - cut a deeper unit or play with shelf units and doors.

I don't know why I haven't thought about doing that! Thank you.

Clever people in my PC is there such a thing as a unit for a washing machine and Tumble dryer. Freestanding. Basically so that I can put a worktop on it or is this a DIY jobby to?

Freestanding appliances (and even semi-built-it) don't need a unit. They just stand between the units under the worktop. A DIY job again. Can't you fix a worktop to the side walls of the room?

There are specific housing units, a bit like a base unit but without the floor, if the appliance is next to another base unit  or wall you can get an end panel for the other side and fix a few  strips of ply across to brace the two. That's what I have in my kitchen for the dishwasher.
In our utility I built a freestanding  open unit using CLS as legs so I could put a worktop on top of the washing machine & dryer. It's a bit like a kitchen island but with rails only on the sides & back, and no shelves/drawers.

A free standing washing machine will be 600 wide, i.e. to wide to fit into a 600 unit. You could split one unit and size your worktop to go over one or both. If you have space(?) a better option is to have a tall unit either side and support the worktop from those.

There is only a wall on one side and there will be a low window at the back. Not ideal but its the only space they can go. 
Basically the idea is for the worktop to go across the washer & dryer and then at the wall it will do a 90 degree and will thin out into a 300 worktop being held up with the 300 depth base unit at the end.
