Kitchen Units

Rigid UnitsRigid Units

Kitchen units, cupboards and cabinets are the focal points of your kitchen. With so many designs available, it can be a little overwhelming choosing the right units for your kitchen redesign project. Think about the decor you’d like in your kitchen as a starting point, keep in mind the layout you want and space you have available, and select your kitchen units based on this.

Our selection of units include made to measure pre-assembled or pre-built kitchen units, leaving the hard work to us to ensure your cabinet is ready for its intended space. All pre-built units are delivered dry assembled with a rigid construction. This ensures your units fit well in even the most awkward of spaces. Minimum order applies (See details).

Once you have your basic kitchen cabinets and cupboards selected, that’s where the fun can really begin; choose from built in wine racks, special storage units, corner wall units and microwave housings and more. Then you can get creative with new kitchen doors and stylish kitchen handles. All our kitchen carcasses are manufactured in the UK and can be made to measure. 

Made to Measure Kitchen Carcasses

The kitchen is the heart of the home and where you spend the most time with your family - you want it to shine.

By selecting made to measure or standard size pre-built kitchen units, you can design your kitchen layout around your requirements and kitchen shape. You can create as much storage, worktop and counter space as you want, meaning that no area is wasted. There are always options to upgrade your drawers to ensure everything can be put in place. If you want soft close units, we can also accommodate this design choice.

Style is important when selecting which units you want in your functional modern kitchen. Whether that’s a handleless kitchen, a shaker kitchen, a high gloss or matt kitchen, we have the rigid kitchen units you need to create a space most suited for your home.

Quality is a key consideration when buying bespoke kitchen cupboards and units. Some homeowners complain that their expensive, brand new kitchens start to deteriorate almost immediately after being fitted. This happens because people are drawn into what they believe are ‘good’ offers by kitchen companies - without reading the small print. You might think you’re getting a good deal but really you’ll end up paying more for poor materials.

Low quality materials just aren’t going to cut it here. This is why we only use the highest quality materials for our range of kitchen units, cabinets and cupboards. We only use melamine-faced chipboards by the EGGER company, which is renowned for producing high quality wooden boards.

You’ll also notice that all our kitchen units come in 18mm thicknesses. Typically, 15mm and 18mm are considered normal for kitchen cupboards (although some companies offer kitchen cupboards that are a mere 12mm thick). However, we know how sturdy kitchen cabinets really need to be, so we only offer the thicker, more rigid 18mm option. While you could get away with a 15mm thick carcass, the extra 3mm gives a bit of a buffer, ensuring that your kitchen units stay standing upright no matter what you throw at them.

Kitchen Unit Sizes

Size is important when designing a kitchen. You’ll need to make sure that you pick the right sized kitchen cabinets to make the most of the space in your kitchen - make sure that distances between your base units and wall units are correct. You’ll also want the right size drawer boxes to fit all your kitchen accessories. If it’s a completely new kitchen, you’ll also want to ensure you’ve considered all the other necessities, such as plug sockets.

600mm width is the most common standard size for kitchen units. Widths of 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, 800mm and 1,000mm would all also be considered standard size carcasses.

600m length units will be fitted with a single door while the larger sized cabinets would usually have two doors. The heights of kitchen units can vary, but kitchen worktops and are usually fitted at 910mm. This is to make sure that your countertops are easy to use, and you can manoeuvre around the kitchen sink.

For empty spaces, curved corner units and L-shaped units are an ideal solution. For drawers, you’ll often see base units with a traditional single draw set, or drawer-only units, with a stack of three or four drawers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kitchen carcass?

A kitchen carcass is the internal framework of your kitchen onto which doors, drawers & worktops are attached.

What are the best kitchen units made of?

The best kitchen units are made from melamine-faced chipboard (MFC). We use pre-built 18mm thick MFC for our kitchen & bedroom units as it is best suited & offers more flexibility to design.

What is a rigid kitchen?

A rigid kitchen is pre-assembled kitchen carcasses that are made using either cam and dowel or glue & dowel construction. This is typically higher quality & more cost-effective than flat pack options.
