Takeaway?
Had to take them all out anyway - forgot to put the hot water pipe to the sink in ;-(

Arrrghh....
There is nothing wrong with doing that.
When I replumbed the house I deliberately didn't connect to the taps on the bath. I hadn't used them in years and it's a good excuse not to do any washing up.

I can touch my kitchen ceiling at on end of the kitchen when stood on my toes, at the other end of the kitchen I need to stand on something to touch the ceiling.
Sheet of paper?

I've realised I have to bring the wall units down lower than I intended otherwise they'll smash the ceiling lights every time I open the door.

I think that's rather the point of the programme.
Is the gap above standard plinth visible? The toe space overhang hides a multitude of sins...
... and then I was preparing the taps for fitting in the sink.
Dropped one.
It landed pipe end down and punched a neat circular hole in the new floor.
Never mind, I can probably put a mat over that bit.
