What your saying seems to be the right approach, thanks. I'm intending to have the new CU visable but contrive some type of box with door or sliding opening, cover the stuff to the right hand side of CU. Any more advice on your construction approach, welcome.Make the cover out of white hardboard with a small 1/2” x 1/2” frame, rest the bottom piece on the architrave, a piece of 1” x1/2” batten to right side fixed to wall, take the front tight to the left wall with batten of same, either screw to battens or use alternative fixing- magnetic, ball catch etc. It will be light enough to hold in place. You can then paint it to match wall, a little caulk up edges for decorative blend, easily removable if needed. Of course this is all dependant upon the distance of loft hatch from wall?
Just had a quick Google, and saw a you tube those keku clips seem easy, peasy 123..... I'll have a think cheersIt’s not going to be easy to box that lot in. There’s no room at the left hand side and you have the door architrave below and a loft hatch above. If you could get a frame made then you could make a front cover and attach it with keku clips which would mean it would be fully removable.
OK thanks I see your idea. I'd need to check for clearance when hatch drops down, just had a look, don't think the hatch down would clear the 4 x 1Piece of 4x1' no nailed to architrave head below board....full length
ditto up hfs of board
ditto adjacent wall.....but this can be narrower as it is only providing a ground for the left side
in effect you will,have formed a wooden "U" along 3 sides of board
fix a front on using magnetic catches
sort of like this
