    Hi all,

    as the title says I'm hoping to rearrange my kitchen units but will have to move the kitchen sink wastepipe to do so. The floor has a polished concrete finish and also (to make matters worse!!!!) has underfloor heating.

    I realise that this will be will a tricky job but I'm just wondering if
    a. anyone has done this before
    b. is this is a really bad idea
    c. is there someone that specialises in this type of work and also repairing/re polishing of the concrete floors afterwards

    Kind regards.

    You don’t necessarily need to move the ‘ground pop-up’ outlet. You can run a sink waste line over ground a few meters once falls allows

    A. Yes
    B. Moving the floor pop-up in a polished concrete floor with UFH : yes, a mental idea
    C. Yes but just don’t do it.

    Hire a kitchen designer or arch to replan your kitchen

    I'd avoid moving it if possible or if its a must do, try bring bring it along right against the wall if possible, less chance of underfloor heating pipes there. Generally they stop the loops a little shy of the walls.

    Thanks for the replies and the honesty.

    The waste pipe is under an island unit in the middle of the kitchen so I wouldn't be able to run it along the wall.

    I think the best thing to do is scrap this idea and look for an alternative.

    If you must move the island, you could just cap the pop-up. And bring in a new waste outlet to suit perimeter sink

    I had this issue and what I did was have a separate unit attached to the island - bookshelves on one side and a seat on the other. The waste pipe is encased through the units and out to the drain. Technically it makes it a pensinsula but the use of different heights and materials means that it still has the appearance of an island unit.
