Currently we have an electric fan oven installed as a unit in our
kitchen

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.

Would like a free standing cooker but..
Due to the run needed by the waste to get round the kitchen and exit the
wall above floor height the pipe is about 132mm above floor height, couldn't
see a way of getting a free standing cooker in there without it standing 2
to 5 inches proud of the work surface!!! There are some cookers which have
75mm chrome legs but that still leaves the hob 2 inches higher than work
surface (completely vetoed by swmbo).

Cheers for any thoughts
