Default Installing gas cooker/oven in fitted kitchen

...
Currently we have an electric fan oven installed as a unit in our kitchen
with a gas hob in the work surface. I would like to replace it with a gas
oven but at the moment we have the waste and hot water supply for a
dishwasher running under the oven(in the plinth, behind the kick board).
Does anyone know of a gas oven that will replace an electric one in this
situation or a posssible solution to routing the waste / hot water from

the
dishwasher. Floors are solid (screed over ???)

Do you mean that you'd like to replace the whole existing installation with
a free standing stove ? Or are you looking for a built-in gas oven ?

A web search for built-in gas ovens should produce a good few hits, but a
free standing stove is much easier to install in your situation. I take it
that the waste pipe is no bigger than 32 mm (1.5 inches) in diameter. If
the supply pipe to dishwasher is placed in front of the waste pipe, with
both being as close to the floor as possible, then a free standing stove
should actually have enough ground clearance to be able to fit over them.

If you wander around the shops with a tape measure and take notes of the
heights of the stoves compared to you worktops, then it should give you an
idea of what sort of modifictions need done to the pipework to take it below
the new stove, and to the floor to lift your stove to the height of your
work surfaces.
