cabinet legs

[fin]

i fit kitchens regularly, mostly howdens. ive been asked to price up a benchmarx kitchen and when i went to take a look at the job the floor runs out by a canny bit... like atleast 125- 150mm from one side to the other. The current kitchen is built on a plinth. but..... i was just wondering if its possible to buy maybe longer legs or legs with extra adjustment to accomodate floors which are so far out.

the house is apparently one of the oldest houses in my town (south shields) and it is built in a rather hilly area... the view from the front of the house is straight down a grassy hill onto the leas and the cliffs and the north sea.. looks canny and the house is a propper strange one. i thought it was a bungalow till i saw the stairs leading down to the bedrooms below so maybe a bit difficult correcting the slope in the floor. plus the owners accept it as part of the house anyway.

A quick Google search turned up 130-175mm & 160-200mm adjustable legs

Maybe a combo of these with the legs they come with will solve the issue and get the cabinets level on such a sloping floor?

Or a wider selection of adjustable legs from the same company https://www.sdslondon.co.uk/hafele-plin ... -feet.html

Why not just stand the supplied legs which not tall enough on 100mm square rectangles of ply?

Offcuts of 4x2...... bricks...... concrete blocks....

Dread to think what the kick board is going to look like!

ive fitted many many kitchens. ive occasionally had to stand them on random off cuts of plinth or 2x1 etc... id rather not start having a kitchen fitted on random concrete blocks tbh.. the floor in this particular property really is very far out. id be going from one side of the kitchen with standard legs to the othe side of the room with concrete blocks and the legs at maximum extension and then likely a random bit of timber also.

kitchen has been designed with extra tall tower end panels to be scribed to the floor as opposed to plinths.

this potential client i fitted her daughters kitchen who is an old school friend so shes seen my work and she knows that this sort of job will be a big challenge. luckily one of the lads i work alongside a lot runs a flooring company. registered master carpet fitter too although he would be laying lvt in this kitchen. he will have a look but i doubt theyd want to spend several thousand pounds (conservative estimate £5k) on the amount of smoothing compound to bring the floor up to level but we might be able to make it rather less out of level than it currently is. ive litterally never seen a floor as badly out of level that hasnt had a bad reason for the out of levelness. everything about the building is sound so its either been built by a pissed builder or subsided slowly over the few hundred years its been there i guess

I did a search for adjustable furniture legs instead of kitchen cabinet legs and clicked on the images tag, if you go down that route then there’s a good choice. Ok, you might have to think outside the box to fit the plinths but worth a look IMO.

Agreed, I'd have thought screwing the legs onto some ply off cuts would be more stable than oversize plastic feet surely?

Why wouldn't they re-level the floor? just imagine dropping a tomato or something, you'd be chasing after it!
