Hi this is great advice. please could you put a video of making the bare units for the walls and stand alone units so that we all could have a go at making them for ourselves. thank you.

It's not good when u have Professional people to fit in kitchen that cost more than the kitchen itself. I want to learn how to do it myself. Ty

[HouseFairyDIY]

You could also build base units using raw materials, such as wood, bricks, blocks, etc., as I have done.

Why do you not supply the raw plugs & screws to fix the cabinet to the wall in the box ??

[paultaylor]

Check the units for square after assembly??....How is this possible when they wobble more than a jelly after assembly...

[mysticalglowtv]

What size doors do the 930 mm corner Base units require also are they the same for the overhead corner units? Thanks

When I knock on the wall what am I suppose to listen. How do I know if I can put anything on the wall

[amaliesenatore]

Do the feet of the cabinets have to be tightly screwed down to the floor

[bbrxmhk]

Do you not screw bottom of cabinets to wall too?

[lemsdarkapprentice]

1 of my upper kitchen cabinets contains the cooker's extractor fan. If I remove the other upper kitchen cabinets around it, can I leave the one with the cooker extractor hood in place? Or will it fall off the wall (because it's no longer attached to other cabinets)? [el'sda2].

[gaynoryoung]

Please can you tell me what the old sink was and the new sink was in the video, the makes and models.

[jamesfrancis]

Can you please do the following
1. stock what's on your website (900mm base units?)
2. Have you sales staff try to sell and assist people who want to spend money!
