Tall storage below a projecting window board.
Example brief: tall cupboard build, with cupboard alignment check recorded separately.

DIY or call a handyman?
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Tall cupboard build | A tall cupboard needs the working clearance specified by its instructions. |
| Several related tasks | Ask for help if projections prevent the product reaching its intended position. |
| Window-side fitted shelves | Shelving by a window still needs a reviewed load and fixing surface. |
| Specialist systems | Moving heating controls or electrical outlets is separate specialist work. |
DIFFERENT ROOMS, DIFFERENT BRIEFS

Tenant? Confirm permission for cupboard attachment if the room is rented.

Who supplies materials?
Check the cabinet inventory and agree sourcing of any suitable additional attachment hardware.
Expected duration?
Construction method and restricted access around the window board affect timing.

Quotation or fixed price?
A cabinet quotation is product-specific; the £30 small-item assembly guide is not a tall-storage price.

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Southgate: questions about this scenario
Should I measure only the narrowest width?
Include depth and height at obstructions too. A window board can hold a cupboard forward even when the side-to-side width is sufficient.
Can the cabinet cover a radiator control?
Keep access requirements visible in the plan. Do not base the installation on concealing controls or moving heating components as incidental work.
What if the cupboard will not sit against the wall?
Share the product instructions and obstruction photographs. Altering furniture or building a fitted solution requires discussion rather than an assembly assumption.
Can window-side shelves be made to measure?
That is a carpentry enquiry with dimensions, intended contents and window clearance. It differs from putting together a supplied cabinet.
Do the doors need room beyond the footprint?
Yes. Show their opening direction and the route past them, particularly where the cupboard sits beside another doorway.
Is anchoring still needed if the unit feels heavy?
The manufacturer’s restraint instructions remain relevant. Weight is not a reason to omit specified attachment or the wall assessment.
Can I choose the position on the day?
Offer the preferred arrangement beforehand. Different positions may change access, restraint points and whether the product clears the window.
What should the quotation describe?
Identify the cupboard model, attachment requirements and any separately requested alteration or shelf work so the included scope remains understandable.
What should I check before filling it?
Review door travel, access to surrounding controls and completion of the agreed fixing work before putting contents into the cupboard.
