Altering cabinets

Are these cabinets suplied ready assembled or flat packed

Can't see why they can't be altered, would be easier if supplied flat though

You will probably end up cutting off some of the fixings, ie cams and / or dowels but you could use plastic blocks or angle brackets in their place
Also depending on the hanging method, you may need to alter this as well

All depends on your DIY skill level as well but you can always ask more questions here

 

Oh right, the builder is doing this.......Sounded from your post that you would be altering the cabinets yourself, that's why I mentioned your diy abilities - no offence meant

I'm sure that the builder has come across similar issues before so should not be a problem

 

Possible, easy in fact, if your builder is a carpenter. If he is a brick layer it may not be so easy.

 

Altering the depth? That's chust part of the package of a kitchen fitter - grist to their mill, butter on their bread, fish in their kettle, that sort of thing.

They should be able to reduce the depth of a carcase with barely any sign that it's been done.

If it looks a mess, kick them hard and tell them to redo it - or you won't pay.

Now, reducing the width is a different cans of fish...

 

I can reduce a unit in all four dimensions. That's what we are paid for. Now when a customer asks to make it bigger ... that's another thing

 

You amateur.

 

Don't forget Metro that the customer is always right......if the customer wants it bigger....then it must be possible

 

You can get kitchen units in 500mm depth, assembled or flatpack several kitchen firms offers these.

Saves butchering a 600mm unit.
