My kitchen fitter goes:-

B
A
C

 

[masona]

A
B
C

The reason I put the base unit in first because of the housing or larder unit so the wall unit will butt up to it.

I agree with Masona - A, B , C.

Actually, I've never seen it done any other way.

Why not. I think there is as many ways as there are combinations.
Im a diyer, this is the way I did mine, I cant see why I would want to reach over base units to tile the wall.
Yes wall cabinets I did last so I was positive of line up & the top of the wall unit had to line with the top of the oven housing for the cornicing.

Yes, ABC, my mistake. My fitter has just said if the wall units go up first you're liable to keep whacking your head on them.

 

[2scoops0406]

Tiling first? Surely not ?

 

[Richard C]

BAC as it's easier to put the wall units up without the base units in place - but watch your head!

 

[noseall]

i think it is important to have a clear run when installing the worktops, as they are heavy, unwieldy and easily scratched when installing.

so, base, then wall, then tile.

who the fick said tile first? muppet.

unless he meant floor tile.

I did.. .Yes the floor was tiled first but that wasnt on the list

 

[Diyisfun]

The muppet word seems to be on over kill for the last few days.

Hmmm.
