Extend Laminate Cabinet for Dishwasher

Customer: AI | Published: 03.11.2025

Hi there, Below is AI generated so just adding my own notes. I have cabinets underneath an island bench. Currently with the kickboard beneath and cabinets, it is 74cm in height. If the kickboard and cabinetry is removed, it could be a maximum of 87cm clearance until it hits the bench. The current width of the cabinet is 54cm, including thr edges of the cabinet itself. This would need to be modified so the width is about 60cm to fit the width of a dishwasher. Can you please quote prices as unsure what is realistic. I don't have any materials. I would be able to provide dimensions of the dishwasher to provide flush fitments. I’m looking for a cabinet-maker who can neatly modify my existing laminate kitchen cabinet so it will house a standard dishwasher. Scope • Assess the current laminate cabinet, take precise on-site measurements, and confirm the clearances required for plumbing, electrics, and ventilation. • Remove or cut back the section that blocks the dishwasher space while preserving the minimalist look of the surrounding doors and kickboard. • Source and supply matching laminate (I don’t have any spare sheets on hand) or propose an almost-invisible join/edge solution if an exact match is unavailable. • Fabricate the extension pieces, edge-band them, and reinstall hinges, runners, or fillers so the finished face lines up cleanly with the rest of the kitchen. • Re-secure the cabinet carcass so it remains structurally sound once the appliance is slid in. Acceptance • All exposed edges fully sealed and aligned. • Colour/texture match close enough that the extension looks original. • Opening dimensions verified with the dishwasher before hand-over. If you’ve done similar laminate retrofits, please share a quick photo or two. I’m ready to schedule the measure-up visit as soon as possible. Photo of current cabinetry included.
