Professional kitchen trolley assembly - worktop level, wheels rolling smoothly, drawers and doors aligned. Positioned in your kitchen ready for extra storage and workspace.
More Workspace, Less Hassle
Kitchen trolleys solve the eternal problem - never enough worktop space, never enough storage. They provide extra prep surface and storage, and in smaller kitchens, transform how you cook.
🔄 Wheels matter. If they don't roll smoothly or lock properly, your trolley becomes frustrating instead of helpful. I get them right.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Phillips screwdriver
- Allen keys
- Spirit level
- Rubber mallet
📐 Key steps
- Build frame on soft surface (protect worktop)
- Check frame is square before adding top
- Fit wheels last
- Test all locking mechanisms
- Level worktop once positioned
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Scratching worktop during assembly
- Wheels fitted at wrong heights
- Not testing brake locks
- Overtightening drawer runners
💡 Pro trick: Fit wheels with the trolley upside down on a soft surface. Much easier than trying to attach them right-side up. Flip it over gently once all four are secured.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🍳 Think about what you'll put on it - stand mixer? Microwave? The weight capacity needs to match your plans. Consider before buying, not after.
Positioning tips:
- Near existing worktops for workflow
- Leave space for drawer/door opening
- Consider traffic flow
- Near power if needed for appliances
Maintenance:
- Treat wooden worktops with oil
- Clean castors of debris
- Tighten bolts if wobble develops
- Adjust doors if they drift
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a trolley and island?
Trolleys have wheels and move. Islands are larger, stationary units. I assemble both - islands take longer and may need positioning help due to weight.
Can trolleys support heavy items like stand mixers?
Better quality ones can - check weight capacity. Solid wood worktops handle heavy appliances. Thin MDF tops won't.
My wheels don't lock properly - can you fix it?
Usually yes. Locking wheels that don't lock are often misaligned or have debris in the mechanism. Some just need replacing with better castors.
Do you assemble butcher's block trolleys?
Yes - these are heavier and sturdier. The thick wood top needs care during assembly to avoid damage.
