Can you fit a kitchen in a Glasgow tenement flat?
Yes. We fit kitchens in Glasgow tenement flats, and a tenement kitchen needs a few things done differently from a kitchen in a newer house.
Walls and floors that aren't straight
Old sandstone tenement walls are rarely square, and floors often slope. We scribe worktops and end panels to the shape of the wall and level every cabinet, so the doors line up and the worktop sits tight against the wall with no gaps.
High ceilings
Many Glasgow tenements have high ceilings. Ceiling-height wall units, or a filler above standard units, turn that extra height into storage and stop a dust-gathering gap forming above the cabinets.
Closes, stairs and parking
Every worktop and unit has to go up a common stair, so we plan worktop lengths and joint positions before the delivery arrives. We also plan parking and access before the start date, so fitting days aren't lost to a full street. Read more about tenement kitchen fitting.
