Common Questions About Our Flat Pack Cabinets
Will I need specialist tools?
No — just a cordless drill, screwdriver, and spirit level will do the job. You won't need expensive or specialist equipment, making it ideal for DIY installation.
Can you deliver cabinets fully assembled?
Yes! For an additional fee, we can pre-assemble everything before delivery. This includes hinging doors and fitting drawers, so they're ready for easy installation.
How are the cabinets finished?
Frames are fully primed and ready for light sanding, caulking, undercoating, and final painting. This allows you to achieve a perfect finish that matches your choice of topcoat.
Can I see cabinet specifications before ordering?
Of course — we provide detailed CAD drawings for every cabinet, helping you plan your kitchen layout and installation with confidence.
Little Touches That Make a Big Difference
