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

  Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.
- Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

  Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.

  Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
