Lovely job Del Boy … Great tip with the 50 mm timer blocks for fixing back the base units , beats fiddling about with those L brackets & a much more solid fix .. 👍🏼 Looking forward to seeing it completed. Keep em coming del 🔨

[@thetallcarpenter]

Yeah those L brackets aren't the best for fixing back the units😬Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers

Driers when full weigh a fair bit, I'd put the angle support on three sides with two 15mm shelves, lovely job and I can see you're enjoying the install 🪚👍

[@johnmackay7789]

Some good practices there big man 👏👏 Our manufacturer also do the separate solid sink panel but I remove it now (fortunately they make the unit with vertical front and rear rails) as I had two bad experiences with undermount sinks that required removing to either be resealed or replaced and it was a nightmare getting them out because of that panel. I now set up a frame with 25x50 to support the undermount sink and make sure it can all be accessed from inside the unit, just in case🤞

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi John🖐I know exactly what you're saying, and on other kitchens I fit, I build a frame in the same way as you do👍Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@arthuranderson7741]

Good video cracking work one I like to do is put in rails above appliances just make a 150mm by 602 Rail normally just use a offcut from end panel so it's matching in with kitchen and kreg screw it in just find it keeps the gap consistent

[@thetallcarpenter]

That's a great way to set the appliance gap David, and coincidentally, this kitchen company supplies a 600mm shelf, drilled with pocket holes for exactly that👊Other than that I usually pin a bit of door stop front and back at the right to distance to position an end/divider panel👍I should really get a Kreg jig🤔Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

I used to do the exact same thing with those above fridge type cabs, probably most of us one man band do I guess! Some of them will still be there to one the ones where I did a full bulkhead and cornice to ceiling 😜 Stan the Stan stands for wall cabs above worktops 👍🏻. And some home made jigs for holding doors and panels. I used to do that same trick too with the Integrated D/w and fridge panels 👍🏻 Give it a real good smack off the concrete on the corner in the box… you get your money and the snagging / odd job man can fit it later…. I’m on to you Delboy! 😜😂

[@thetallcarpenter]

Great comment bud, and joking aside, I worked with some locker fitters a few years ago that would deliberately damage certain items towards the end of a job, knowing that it would be down to the remedial team to come along later and fit/finish it😵Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

Hi Del. If you were buying a kitchen, what makes would you avoid and which ones would you recommend? Brilliant content by the way.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Bob🖐I really don't like Howdens kitchens as I don't feel they represent value for money😬 other than that, I don't really have enough experience of other manufacturers to say one way or another🤔Thanks for you great comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@davetaylor4741]

Fitted dishwasher always a worry. All dishwashers seem to last about as long as it takes to fit them. Mine is just a free standing 600. Good job because I am on my third in 15 years. I get lots of calls to pull out and replace the things. The fitted ones never seem to be direct replacements.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Which ever way you cut it Dave, it does seem that free standing appliances last longer than built in ones, and like you say, certainly easier to replace when the do go wrong👊Thanks for your comment bud😎Cheers

Great suggestion 👌 but I only fit what I'm supplied when fitting builders kitchens😵‍💫Cheers Del

[@adhafer4542]

Thanks for another fantastic video. A question if I may? The electrician has fitted the sockets behind the integrated appliance. I’m worried the appliance may not fit as I’ve been told that the sockets should never go behind an integrated appliance as this doesn’t allow the appliance to go all the way to the back. Is this correct?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐Its highly unlikely that your integrated appliances will go all the way back if there is an outlet with a plug behind them😬We ALWAYS put the outlet/socket in an adjoining unit and feed the appliance plug/lead up into it👍Hope this helps😎Cheers Del

[@donny6019]

Del, liked the block tip, have you used the orange ‘space plugs’? I think they are really good

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Daleep🖐I have seen and used them bud, and they are a fantastic idea💡I think Wren kitchens include them in their fitting kit, and if I did kitchens more often, I would probably buy a load and use them all the time👊Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del

what would you recommend for fixing upper units to brick walls. My units have metal hanging brackets. What length of screw? Bricks are only so big. I wander why 2.5 inch is used? Overkill? Would a 5 mm screw in a red plug be ok?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🤩If you have nice and solid brick walls to fix to then 5x50 screws on red plugs will be fine👍Cheers Del

We’re about to build a tall unit to stack a washer & dryer. Is 600mm wide enough to wriggle a washer in..? I’ve seen others say you need a bit more room. Washers seem to be 59cm +/- .5cm so feels tight.

[@utilitarian]

Hi Del, just found your channel courtesy of Gosforth Handyman and love what you're doing. Kitchen fitting seems like witchcraft but you make it seem so easy. One thing I noticed was the dishwasher being only 450? Seems like a rather large kitchen for a slimline washer 😳 I do wonder whether the owner will wish they swapped the 150 pullout for a full size dishwasher (or maybe they like washing up)!

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐The customers have made a few odd choices with this kitchen, and, as you hint in your comment, they must like washing up🤯Thanks for taking a look at my channel, and Andy at the Gosforth Handyman was really cool to give me a mention on his great channel🤩Cheers Del

[@jamesvaughan7274]

Question for you, cupboard doors with soft close. They are supplied with rubber bumpers on the inside to cushion the close to the carcass - but they always come off. Do you fit specific ones, or glue them to the doors (or to the carcass itself?). Thought it might be something you've seen lots and might have some perspective on.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi James🖐I don't do, or use, anything special in relation to the door bumpers, and just use the ones supplied stuck to the carcass front👍 Cheers Del

[@jamesvaughan7274]

@@thetallcarpenter thanks for the reply Del. I’ve found them useless. Don’t want to glue them to the doors (seems drastic) but they just seem to wander after not much time rendering them useless.

I don’t know how you keep on top of the innovations that are introduced over the years since you did your apprenticeship. Do the kitchen manufacturers offer training/workshops or do you have to work everything out for yourself?
