I'm in the process of getting a kitchen fitted and I'm not sure if I'm being overly fussy when I know it can't ever be perfect.
However, I feel my joiner has been a bit careless in places. There are some rough cuts in the cabinets (I live in flat and the pipes are in both corners so have to be...
Hi there.
Planning to replace my kitchen after 20 years. It's probably a small-medium sized one.
I'm not looking to spend much at all, my budget is something like 4k (worst case 5k), and most basic modern kitchens I was interested in are perfectly well within reason e.g £1600-2600, the only...

Just to clarify there is an internal soil stack to the left that's not shown in the plans.
Hi - we are having a handmade kitchen installed and I want the units to run over a 3 gang light switch and move it to the side of the kitchen cabinet. Because it would be next to a door we couldn’t simply just move it along a few inches. The kitchen cabinet will hold an integrated fridge which...

I’ve an old kitchen/bar area I want to rip down into smaller pieces to save room in the skip. First bit cut in half today was bright green.
Google would suggest it’s “green mdf” I hadn’t realised there was such a thing.

Any experience with this (See picture)...

I moved into a new home (new for me... but old!) and took the cabinets off to clean them up.
I didn’t mark which cabinet went where as they all looked the same, and it wasn’t until everything was off I realised some of the hinges are slightly different. The previous owner made a bad job of...
