    Hi
    I'm looking at replacing my current kitchen with a new one that will include a kitchen island and I'm thinking about putting a gas cooker on the island.
    I'll need to get the gas supplied out to the island. Will it be neccesary to take up the floor tiles to do this. I'm not very keen on this idea in case the tiles break and I don't want to retile the entire kitchen unless i really have to.

    Dave.

    unless you have a timber floor underneath you have no option to take up tiles
    by the way dont forget to run in power for ignition as most gas hobs require this(it may be useful to have a socket on the island unit too)

    Thanks for the quick reply meercat. I was afraid that would be the answer.

    as said above. however is there a possibility that gas can be run high up the wall across the ceiling and doen through a backpanel on the island. It would mean that there is a wall on the island though.

    Also...Be careful. As anyone will tell you island kitchens with large familes or kids is dangerous.

    Lol, wouldn't technically be an island then!

    If you do go to the trouble of doing it (have the same myself) when you running the pipe, run a hot& cold water feed and drain too as very handy to have a mini sink beside the hob, for draining pots and topping up, so sorry I didn't when I installed mine....
    Now it's back and forward to the sink when required, not good with boiling water and small kids running about!

    As Joey rightly pointed out, the danger, make sure you have large rounded edges on the work surface
