Have just spent a horrendous few hours removing the above from my fitted
kitchen in preparation for new flooring . Trouble is that they are both
boxed in quite tightly and with the worksurface on top there's no way of
getting any lift at the back of the appliances. Given that they're very
heavy there was no option but to just pull and drag but I don't fancy
pushing and heaving to get them back never mind what their square metal feet
are likely to do to my new floor.
I have one of these trolley affairs with a lip but that's only good for lift
at the front of the appliance or when moving the appliance once free. I seem
to remember seeing advertised a set of rollers/ballbearings? (how I wish I
had paid more attention!) for precisely this kind of situation although I
can't imagine how you could remove them from the back of the appliance in a
restricted place to lower the appliance down. Would the likes of B&Q carry
anything that might be of help? Any advice gratefully received. I have a
couple of days to prepare!

Lift the front edge of the appliance and slide an old blanket under
the front legs. Then pull forward to lift the rear legs and slide out.
Repeat in reverse for refitting.

If you slide enough spare blanket under the front then as you pull the
appliance out the blanket spreads out and you can eventually get the
rear feet on it too. Then it's a doddle to slide it around the room by
just pulling the blanket.
