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?

You could get four hydraulic trolley jacks, jack it up and roll it
sideways, with the help of some assistants.

Don't be a moron all your life.
You wouldn't get the jacks underneath, and if you did when you raised
the Aga it'd probably crack\split straight down the middle.
