Where to start fitting kitchen base units
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.53 PM
I am fitting base units with adjustable legs, I have 150mm plinth going on, why do I have to start from the highest point of the floor? If the floor drops surely there will be a gap from my floor and plinth
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Start at the highest point, as it's easy to pack units up, than cut feet down!

The kitchen base units have to start in 95% of cases from the sink unit or from the corner unit if there is one .You have to make sure to measure properly the washing machine or any appliance what goes under work top. to make sure you allow enough space for it ,a usual standard measure is 87.5cm top of base units.If the kitchen floor is not level, first you draw a pencil line on the wall, make sure is level then you have to make sure where the washing machine and any other appliance is ,it will fit under the work top.Good luck ,if you need any advise do not hesitate to contact me .

Hi peter6996. When fitting a set of kitchen base units you usually start from the highest point with the legs wound down to their minimum. This is mainly because the legs will only have a certain amount of adjustment so if you find that you cannot get any more height from the leg to keep the units level then you can simply place packers under the leg.
Hope this helps!

Start where you want being aware that the important issue is that you can fit the appliances under the worktops where they are to be fitted.
