Tim,
Is there a comprehensive book/manual on kitchen fitting available that you would recommend.

Hi

Another question. In the guide Tim writes:

"Now, from the underside, fit the worktop bolts and tighten up" . What are these bolts? Can the be purchased? Is it acceptable to simple screw the work top to the base units?

As background we are installing a second hand kitchen from my brother in law's London house into our house here in France. Originally the units had a marble top but we are

Hi

I have read the article on installing a kitchen and all is going well with the current install but I do not uinderstand how to attach the base units to the wall. I have read (and re

-read!) the relevant paragrapg but am still not enlightened.

Could you tell me what is the best way to trim laminate edging after its been glued on to the end of a worktop. When the strip is offered up to the worktop, its made flush with the

treat my appliances in the same way it would be a huge help ...

I have now reached the stage of fitting the

sink - having worked out the snake-charmers nest of how the waste pipes connect, and re-plumbing to go from 1/2" to 15mm copper, with isolators, and to a single tap instead of 2

separate ones (!), what should I do when putting the drainers into the stainless steel sinks? There are rubber washers to go below the bowls (with a 'V' shape, the bottom of the ...

Hi, and

thanks for a really useful site.

I will soon be fitting a new kitchen to my renovation project and wanted some advice on fitting Granite worktops - ie. how is it done? I know it is probably a job best left to the

experts but I would like to have a go myself, so what is the best material to use for the fitting templates and what is the best method for cutting? ...
