Shelf installation (kitchen)

Takes about 15 min

Kitchen shelves end up holding far more weight than planned, from masala jars to pressure cookers. The carpenter checks the wall, spaces the brackets so the shelf will not bow in the middle, and fixes them into solid wall with plugs suited to tiles or brick. Each shelf is levelled so round jars do not roll.

It takes about 15 minutes, from the price shown on this page. A run of several shelves is priced before work.

Keep the shelf boards and brackets ready, avoid spots directly above the stove, and tell the carpenter where the chimney ducting or plumbing runs.

Questions about this service

Can a shelf go above the gas stove?

Avoid it if you can because of heat and steam. The carpenter will suggest a safer spot nearby.

How many brackets does a shelf need?

It depends on its length and load. The carpenter spaces them so the shelf does not bow when full.

Do you supply the shelves?

No. You buy the boards and brackets, and the carpenter fits them.
