Bought it already... I was thinking about running pipes on the floor (Just
after Ive put the pipes on the wall :@) how much gap do i need toleave for
the feet at the back of the cupboard?

Hi,
As I have just found out.... IKEA cupboards have no service void so as
to run pipes etc round the back, so how have people over come this? I
have all my pipe work (Like most of us do) fitted to the wall so how have
people dealt with this? do you put a baton on the wall and fix the
cupboards back from the wall or cut out large sections of the back of the
cupboards to run the pipes through.

I don't really want to fit a baton to the cupboards as the rooms pretty
small as it is.

Thanks in advance for contributions and merry xmas

Have you actually bought the units yet? Personally I went for B&Q because
it's easier to fit. On the other hand, if I was going to stay in the
current place for a long time (I'm not!) I'd have bought ikea, because you
get more space in the cabinet. As for what to do - move the heating pipes
down a bit, so that they run in the void between the base of the cabinet
and the floor. That way they're also accessible (ish!) in
case of any problems.
