Hello,

I hope that this is the correct area, but I was hoping someone with experience of fitting IKEA kitchens might be able to answer a question for me.

I'm trying to install the kitchen, and the instructions clearly say attach the rail on the kitchen wall at 820mm to the lowest point of the rail, then adjust all of the legs on the units appropriately to match the height and get it level.

This is fine - my issue arises with the dishwasher. Its only 815mm high and doesn't have any legs....meaning that it is currently sitting 5cm shorter than the rest of the units. Can someone recommend what I should do here?

Do I remove the rail and put it lower so all the other units match? Or put the dishwasher on legs (timber possibly)?

The other question I have is notching/removing sections of the back of the units to fit pipes. Is this ok to do with IKEA units? Are they strong enough to take sections being removed from them?

Cheers

Sean

  Anyone know what’s happened with Memsaab yesterday at all? Happened to walk past whilst they were raided by Immigration Enforcement around 6.30pm.

  Hello all, Please excuse me/feel free to remove the comment if this isn’t the appropriate place for it. I am an East Dulwich resident writing a story for the South East Londoner (https://www.selondoner.co.uk) about the problems patients are facing with the service at Tessa Jowell GP Surgery and the Health Centre. I would like to speak with people currently or formerly registered with the practice to learn more about their experiences. This story won’t seek to single out or ‘have a go’ at individuals – by most accounts the quality of care for those who do get an appointment is good – but will look at the quality of service and why it seems to be worsening. If you would like to speak to me, you can email [email protected] and we can arrange an interview. If you’d like to check who I am first, my editor Tom Holmes can be reached at [email protected] Thank you, Harry Hetherington

  Whoever owns it obviously doesn't need the rent.
