Project Overview
An older property where nothing was square, and where standard units would have left a visible gap on every run.
- The challenge
- The kitchen walls were out by up to 30mm across their length, and the ceiling fell towards the external wall. Bought cabinetry would have needed filler strips at both ends of every run.
- Our approach
- Every opening was measured as built, including the deviations, and each piece was made to those dimensions and scribed in on site. Timber was selected for a kitchen environment, and the finish was checked in the room's own light before sign-off.
- The result
- The cabinetry meets the walls without packing or filler, and the panelling follows the ceiling fall rather than exposing it.
Scope of work
Survey
Walls, ceiling and floor were measured at multiple points to record how far and in which direction each surface ran out of true.
Making
Carcasses, doors and shelving were cut and jointed off site to the surveyed dimensions, with scribe allowances left on every meeting edge.
Fitting
Each piece was scribed and adjusted in place. Panelling in the dining room was set to follow the ceiling line so the fall reads as intentional.
Lighting
Under-cabinet task lighting was run in on its own circuit, with the switching grouped alongside the general kitchen lighting.
