Custom & made-to-measure kitchen assembly

A custom kitchen is not just a larger flat-pack job. The plan, room geometry, cabinet system, appliance positions and finishing details have to work together.

From installation experience

What matters on site.

This guide explains practical assembly and fitting considerations. Every product, room and fixing situation is different, so the final method should follow the actual manufacturer requirements and site conditions.

Start with the design, then verify the room

Designer drawings are the starting point, but the actual room controls the installation. Wall positions, floor level, corners, service points and appliance clearances should be checked before the cabinet run is committed.

Establish the cabinet geometry first

Base, wall and tall units need a consistent datum, level and line. Small errors at the first cabinet can become large alignment problems at the end of a run.

Fillers and end panels are functional details

Fillers are not only decorative. They can provide door and drawer clearance at walls and corners. End panels establish the visible finished edge and may affect the final worktop dimension.

When the drawing and site disagree

The correct response depends on the system and the room. Sometimes the sequence, spacing or a non-structural finishing component can be adapted; sometimes the design or supplied part must be corrected. We assess the actual installation rather than forcing a component into a position where it cannot work safely.
