    Strange skirting board

    Cutting kitchen carcase to accommodate corner sink

    They said If the base rail needs to be adjusted, it is advised to do so. You are able to install support battens to support the unit should you wish but the unit does need modification to install the sink. The unit we have planned is designed to house this sink, and based on the information...

    Cutting kitchen carcase to accommodate corner sink

    I am fitting it myself, not Wren. Saying "Wren, nuff said" is not at all constructive. Name any major kitchen company and someone will have an anecdotal quip about them.
