Hi everyone!
We are having a new kitchen installed in our new house and want to have a bin fitted into the worktop. One of those ones where you cut a circle in the worktop and have a bin fitted underneath somehow. Has anyone got any ideas of a contraption that we could build ourselves?
The space below the worktop will be open but can be covered up somehow (it is only left open at ...

Hi

We have a poggenpohl fully fitted kitchen with Neff appliances – its now 14 years old and the top hinge has split on the fridge/freezer unit.

Hi

Can anyone tell me how much space between the run of units and a wall I should leave for a 600mm fridge freezer? Some places seem to say a 600 gap is fine, others say you need to leave 700mm and now I've just found one that says 650mm!

Many thanks

Hi,
I'm currently replacing my whole kitchen, and I'm looking for some advise regarding the worktops.

My kitchen layout is a U-shape.
3.5m down left side, 2.5m along bottom, and 2.5m (with a curved cupboard end) on right side.

I've already bought some solid wood oak worktops, and I'm going to start looking for quotes on getting them fitted.

My concern is that two screws in each cabinet won't be substantial enough to hold the cabinets up once they are filled. As the two cabinets will be bolted together should I think of them as one unit supported by four screws, rather than two individual units? ...

We would like to fit a gas hob but owing to a shortage of space, the tumble dryer would have to sit under it.

The dryer is a condenser dryer so would this be possible or not.?

Hi

I hope you can help me...

My Diplomat 8512/1 integrated washing machine has died and I need to replace it. On the (mistaken) assumption that there was a standard template for integrate washing machine hinges I ordered a new Indesit machine... however when it arrived I found out that the hinge points were not compatible, so it was taken away.

What can I do - will I be able to find a replacement integrated ...
