Howden do hanging rails for wall cabinets in 2.4m lengths. All you do is find the height you want the cabinets and fix one end, level up the rail and fix the second end. Add more screws at regular intervals.
You cut the rail into shorter lengths as all you are doing is making work for yourself. With the long rail you only have to level once.
Yes you will have to trim out a piece of the back sides of the cabinet sides where the rail is on the wall.

I brought the Halfe ones from toolstation and they look much stronger than the b and q ones and the brackets are far better.
My local Selco do not sell the long ones neither do jewson but I got one from howdens. I noticed that the howden long one depth is not as deep as the halfe ones, see picture, hoping I do not have problems trying to get the lip to catch.
Also you cane see the size difference between the b and q halfe and howdens when you see them side by side it makes the b and q one look useless.
Ok the units are now up.
I used the 2.5m rail, its stand-off from the wall was much less than the ones that came with the halfe ones from toolstation. I was concerned that it would not be enough to be able to get the cabinet hung on it but it was fine.
I liked that there were multiple holes for fixings, I placed it on the wall and marked the best holes for closeness to the bracket for best support but also marked a load of the other hole positions as back up for when I did not hit a brick or I hit an empty frog or hit a brick that is made out of Adamantium so couldn't get a deep fixing.
I think it would of been much better if some of the holes were elongated for vertical adjustments, this is because the units brackets themselves were rubbish, the halfe ones from tool station had almost no vertical adjustment and the screws to do the adjustment
were really soft and easily rounded out the posi slots, the B&Q ones were worse for that but at least they had more vertical movement.
Next time I fit a kitchen I will be looking for some other unit bracket but will probably use the 2.5m rail again.
