For a single oven and combi oven combined I would recommend to start the single oven at 725mm off the floor. However, this can be reduced to 610mm off the ground to accommodate your height while still keeping it safe for small children. Please keep in mind that I am working off standard off the shelf door sizes when calculating these heights. If you are having a bespoke kitchen made the kitchen designer can alter these heights to suit you but the above heights should be good for you.

By asking “What level of granite is shiva black” is presume you mean what price level. If not please correct me.

Shiva black granite worktop, which is black with a white cloud through it, would normally be priced in the lower price grades of granite worktops.

I hope this helps Bernadette.

Thank you for contacting us regarding painting your solid oak kitchen. Can you tell me where you live and I can see if we have details of a kitchen painter serving your location.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for your question.

You really need to measure the width of your space first. If the space is “massive” like you say then the oven you have inherited will not fill the space. You have not stated whether the oven is single or double. If it is double I doubt very much it will fit under your counter. It will also need a cabinet to sit into. A single oven will work under the counter but again a cabinet is required. Regardless of whether it is double or single, once it is built in you will need to fit a piece of countertop over it and join it to both sides of your existing countertop.

It will be really hard to get this looking right to be honest. My advice would be to go with the tall housing if at all possible.
