Hello, At DIY Homefit we supply a vast range of worktops from a variety of UK manufacturers. When jointing, sealing or bonding we recommend using a product called BB complete. This is available in a standard 290ml cartridge to be applied with a caulking/sealant gun. The product provides a firm...

This sounds like an adhesive failure over time and nothing to due with temperature or moisture/dampness. Even though the doors are out of warranty it is worth contacting the manufacturer. A friend recently had the same issue, with their kitchen purchased and installed by a well known company...

Check out the options on this site. You can get them made in which ever size you need, so that's not an issue. You just need to go through the various colour/grain options and select the best match. http://www.diyhomefit.co.uk/kitchens/replacement-kitchen-doors.html

Hi, Vinyl wrapped doors are manufactured using a heat pressed system to seal the vinyl to the 18mm thick mdf. This results in a more durable door finish compared to ‘foil’ which is thinner and less durable and is not advisable to be used in Kitchens. Therefore ‘vinyl wrap’ is more durable...

Definitely check to make sure the carcases are in good condition, providing they, as the other have suggested, just search for replacement kitchen doors. There are also a few companies who will provide made-to-measure door fronts so you aren't restricted by the size of the existing carcass...

Hi Andrew, Have you attempted to adjust the weight balancing system on the hinge? They will be designed to take a range of sizes (and weights) of doors so the hinges could be prepared for a heavier door than you have. Try adjusting the screw which will alter than strength on the spring. The...

Wendy is a fountain of knowledge - scary stuff!

I agree with Kevin, There will be a lot of material costs and an even longer build time! Carcasses don't have to be expensive, and when ordered with the doors, you know that everything is going to fit as it should and look spot on! Above all of this, there is also that reassured feeling that...

Hi Simon, That is the problem with the big sheds, they can pretty much say whatever sizes they like and most people will go with their advice and change the carcasses to match. There are companies online that can offer a custom made selection of both doors and drawer fronts. Search 'made...

Have you tried companies who can create made to measure doors? They generally have a certain amount of designs aswell ...

All the above are very good in their industries and also depending on quality of units required - they all serve a good purpose! In a previous role, I have fitted B&Q and Homebase units and they have done the job but whether they can stand the time of wear and tear is another question. It...

We also supply custom sized units either with doors or without doors! With regards to the work top, yes usually L brackets or 2 way blocks are used and there can often be batons fixed to the wall and the tops can be fixed here (if there is/was access). Matching panels are also easily...

Thanks for the feedback John, we have tried to make the website as user friendly as possible, whilst not swamping you with information! We look forward to your order, but yes please involve the Mrs first! ;)

Usually full height drawers would be supplied as standard and if your after the grab handle these would be an extra and would require reduced height drawer fronts.

Thanks Burnerman! - We make to measure doors (and carcasses if req'd) - any height, any width, any depth, in over 40 different finishes! :)
