Hi,

Not quite DIY, but as a direct side-effect...

Due to an imminent kitchen refit, I was contemplating moving an oil-fired
Aga 1 foot to the left. It is currently on a small concrete plinth and the
flue goes directly from the top of the stove into the chimney breast.

Has anyone ever experienced moving one? I guess that they are quite heavy.

Should I get a professional in? If so, any idea how much it would cost? How
would I locate someone who could do it?

Get a professional in. Shouldn't be hard to find a specialist through
yellow pages or the local paper. Agas are built in place and are not
designed to be moved. We bought a house with an Aga that someone had
tried to move within the kitchen - castings cracked and various bits
were out of alignment. Engineer (and I did get more than one assessment)
eventually took it apart and rebuilt it.
