Homebase Kitchen Installation

[OtaCustes]

Hi,

I am looking for someone with experience of fitting kitchens to comment on my kind of odd question.

I have bought, but not yet received a homebase kitchen. The dimensions supplied indicate the floor cabinet is 565(d) and I have bought a 600w worktop. To me this seems I will have approx 30mm behind the cabinet assuming the worktop hangs over the front a little, say 5mm.

I've uploaded a picture as to what I believe is correct....

Does this look right to anyone?

The reason I am asking this is because I have a 40mm waste water pipe where the cabinet needs to go, therefore I am going to have great difficulty squeezing it in if I am correct on my installation.

Maybe someone has come across this issue before?

Thanks[/img]

The base unit sides will fit tight to the wall but the back panel of the unit will leave a gap behind it of usually 60-70mm to allow for pipework. Once you get the delivery and make one up (assuming flat-pack) you'll see what I mean.

The unit is 565mm, plus door at approx 18-20mm, leaves an overhand for w/tops of 10-15mm.

Ah, I understand

Thanks for clearing this one up Steve, very much appreciated.
