Hi guys,

First go at fitting some kitchen units so please be kind :)

Ive started with a straight line across the back wall at 875mm from the floor and then levelled the units (there are only 2) to this line. From that Ive checked the front bottom and top of the corner unit to the other unit are in line but to achieve this as you can see from the pictures I need to pull the corner unit away from the wall to be straight with this units - is that ok as long as I fit a sturdy L bracket in place to hold? There is quite a gap for one of the 2 edges that "should" touch the wall but in order to make everything straight I dont really have many options do I?

The tall larder unit (I know I need to move those sockets over etc) will also need to come away from the wall so it sits in line with the corner unit again a sturdy bracket or do you have some clever ideas?

Thanks!

Always keep your work as square and level as possible, and ignore the walls.......you'll find away around these later. If you try to adjust things to suit the wall it will come back to haunt!
L brackets will be just fine, and once the units are joined together, maybe with a work top, they will be as solid as can be.
Enjoy your project!

Straight line is required to front of unit where your worktop will overhang, small gaps to rear can be hidden by upstand over the worktop or by using over size work top cut to fit flush with wall. (Worktops of 650mm widths are useful for this.)
You can cut back the rear of units for a closer fit but this reduces the worktop overhang to front.
