Relocating a Kitchen

[RedTen]

I'm debating moving or renovating and the latter could potentially include moving the kitchen from the front of the house to the rear.

Has anyone ever gone through it? How painful is it? I'd be happy to ditch gas and move to an induction hob, and the room I'd move it to already houses the boiler, so presumably water would be easy-ish?!

Cheers

Are there drains at the back of the house?

I'm not 100% sure. There's a rodding point in the garden just behind the garage and I can get at least 6-7m of rod down it. It runs directly under the garage and towards the front drive. I think the manhole is on the driveway.

Current plans here if easier. Yellow: Rodding point and direction of pipe. Red: Combi boiler. Blue: Approx location of kitchen units/sink if moved.

I've managed to find the drainage plans from the original build. It doesn't look good - at the front and across my neighbours drive:

Thanks all. I've agreed some time with an architect so they can tell me what's possible. It looks like I could use a Saniflow style pump but I'd still need to think about the route across the house.

I'll update as/when I decide on what to do!
