Kitchen units from floor to ceiling?

[rarara]

Hi, at one side of our kitchen there is a boiler about 1/2 way up the wall and all pipework etc running up from it into the ceiling - over 3m high. I want to have this all hidden behind doors, and create some extra storage etc. Only problem is, the highest kitchen units available are only a fraction over 2m. How do I go about extending to the full ceiling height??

Generally, can base units be stacked on top of each other if the legs are removed, without leaving any unsightly gaps between doors? I suppose a wall unit could be placed on top of a base unit, but their depth won't be enough.

Just to make things a bit more difficult, I need the cabinets to be available in 800mm wide to allow enough clearance

just been googling, and apparently it is possible to stack base units. The advice being to make sure you secure the top ones to the wall.

you can also buy cabinets to order online, in any size and shape you desire, and in a range of a hundred colours and finishes.

For example http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_o...+tall.TRS0&_nkw=kitchen+carcass+tall&_sacat=0

No doubt there are others. There is a substantial delivery charge so order everything in one go.

If you can afford large pan drawers, they are fantastic.

You could use a full height unit and box in above the boiler, did this in a kitchen to hide lots of pipes and cables.

Don't forget to allow adequate ventilation for your boiler when you put units around it!
