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?

If you extend the concrete plinth first, EXACTLY level with existing, then
whole lot could be slid sideways. It is all built up from a base plate so
will slide as a unit. ( Assuming disconnect flue, oven vent & oil feed
first). It weighs 406Kg ( or 584Kg if 4 oven ) so don't think about lifting
it or jacking up one end.
I suspect any quotes you get from proper AGA fitters will cost more than a
complete stainless steel range or more. If they aren't proper AGA fitters
then the whole enterprise could be more fraught than you doing it yourself.
