Kitchen Fixer

    Hi guys, a bit of a weird one. I got a new kitchen two years ago and cheaped out on it. As a result the chap who installed it was a disaster, leaving most of the presses crooked, and so on. I'm just wondering if there are any services out there that could improve it, without having to install a whole new kitchen. Thanks.

    It’s fake wood, sorry I can’t be more specific as I’m pathetic with this stuff :o

    The first picture below shows how the fridge and freezer doors aren't level. One of the door hinges (second pic) came off today. I think the screws he used were too short as I barely leaned on it today and it popped out. The dishwasher (third pic) wasn't installed properly and it is pushed out now. 4th and 5th pics just show how presses aren't level. He also took a chunk out of one of the counters which I have hidden with a bowl.

    doesnt seem to be anything major. most of that is just an adjustment. those hindges allow a lot of adjusting.
    its basically just settled after a bit of time.

    I've tried adjusting some of them and while it helps, they're still not level, which makes me think that he didn't screw them in level in the first place. Also, from day one they weren't level.

    thats quite posible.
    you can adjust them up and down as well
    they might need to be screwed on lower.


    any decent kitch fitter will fix that easily.
    why dont you pop into a local kitchen shop and tell them you just bought the house and want somone to adjust the units.
    where are you based

    Thanks. I'm based in Drumcondra. I'll try that as it's been annoying me from day one.
