So we've been getting this weird chirping noise in the kitchen. It's always just one chirp, and always a minute apart between chirps when I decided to time it. It first started yesterday in the morning, and then stopped later during the day, and today has started again, continuing on.
We don't have a smoke alarm in the kitchen, I've tried turning off the boiler and fridge, but the chirping carries on, and when I listen to where it's coming from, the sound seems to move.
Any help?

Even though you do not have a smoke alarm in the kitchen I would suggest that you check for low battery condition in all of your smoke alarms in the home. If you have not done so in more than a year the general advice is to replace all the smoke alarm batteries with fresh new ones.
I had the chirp problem at my house and can attest to the fact that it can be difficult to locate the source of the chirp. I believe that the problem is that the chirp sound is one that easily bounces and echos around the house. In addition I have found that the sound duration is so short that our brain has difficulty performing the triangulation that it normally uses to find the source of sounds.
