I nearly asked who are band q?? ..then the penny dropped b & q!
and I know band q ( I shall call them now) carcasses are 3 mm thicker (18mm) than some standard 15mm ones.. had a look on their site and some of the kitchens are quite nice and I like the challenge of building the units myself, least I theres no one to shout at if I its wrong...
