Preparing for your installation

Remove any existing or temporary worktops and household appliances before the appointment.

Ensure a clear line of sight to cabinet units and walls for accurate measurement.

Complete plasterwork for a smooth wall finish; no tiling, cladding, or splashback should be installed

Avoid any changes to the space between templating and installation, including moving kitchen units or laying floors.

Ensure all sinks, taps, leg brackets, and pop-up sockets are on-site before the appointment.

Disconnect appliances such as taps, sinks, and hobs in existing kitchens.

Install Belfast sinks in situ but do not connect them before templating.

Ensure a 5mm gap on either side of range cookers for expansion, as per manufacturer’s guidelines.

Do not fit hobs until after worktop installation.

Secure all base units to each other and the wall to ensure accurate measurements and support for heavy worktops.

Level carcasses and wall units and fit end panels for stability and precise measurements

Ensure cooker hoods, wall units, extractors, and electrical socket back boxes are securely fitted and in their final positions for cladding or splashback installation.

Remove the front panel of sockets before the template appointment and keep them removed until the cladding is fully installed.

This prevents damage to the socket fronts and ensures accurate and secure positioning.

Not removing the socket front before installation may result in damage or interference with the installation process.
