Kitchen bin fitted securely where you want it - pull-out slider, door-mounted, or under-sink. No more bin in the middle of your kitchen floor.
Get That Bin Out of the Way
Kitchen bin taking up valuable floor space? Door hitting it every time you open the cupboard? Fit it properly and suddenly your kitchen flows better and looks tidier.
💡 Pro tip: If you're planning to sort recycling, get bins fitted for multiple compartments now. Much easier than trying to squeeze more in later.
Why It's Worth Doing Properly
A badly fitted bin is worse than no bin - doors won't close, sliders jam, the whole thing tips out when you open it.
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Common Problems |
|---|---|
| Slides smoothly every time | Jams after a week, needs forcing |
| Mounted square and level | Wonky, won't sit back in cupboard |
| Screwed to solid material | Screwed to thin door panel, pulls through |
| Door still closes properly | Have to force the door shut |

What to Expect
Step 1: Check Fit
I'll make sure your chosen bin actually fits your cupboard space - sometimes they're a tighter squeeze than expected.
Step 2: Position & Mount
Sliders get fitted level and square, door mounts positioned to balance the weight. Everything measured so the door still closes.
Step 3: Test & Adjust
Slide it in and out, check the door closes properly, adjust if needed. You want smooth operation, not a fight every time.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to fit it yourself? Here's how to get it right:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Cordless drill/driver
- Spirit level
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Screws (usually supplied with the bin)
- Possibly a saw if cupboard shelf needs modifying
📐 Planning the fit
- Empty the cupboard completely
- Measure the bin and the cupboard space - allow clearance for sliding
- Check where the door hinge is - that side usually doesn't work for pull-outs
- Consider if pipes or U-bends will be in the way
- Work out if you need to remove or cut a shelf
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not checking the bin fits before buying it
- Mounting the slider wonky - now the bin catches on the frame
- Screwing into thin door panel instead of solid frame
- Forgetting about the U-bend under the sink
- Bin fouling on the door hinge when you pull it out
💡 Pro trick: Before drilling anything, sit the bin in position and open/close the cupboard door several times. You'll spot clearance issues before you've committed to screw holes.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Planning a kitchen refresh? Get the bins sorted at the same time - you've already got everything apart, easier to fit now than later when it's all back together.
Multiple recycling bins? Common setup is general waste in one, recycling in another, food waste in a third. I can fit them all in one visit - much quicker than doing them separately.
Old cupboard with U-bend in the way? Sometimes we can work around it, sometimes it's easier to mount a door bin instead. I'll advise when I see your setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of kitchen bins can you fit?
Most common ones - pull-out bins on sliders, door-mounted bins, under-sink bins, and those integrated ones that slide out when you open the cupboard door. If you've bought it flat-pack or it needs mounting, I can fit it.
Can you fit a bin to my older kitchen cupboard?
Usually yes. Older cupboards might need a bit of adaptation - sometimes the hinge side isn't suitable so we mount on the door instead, or fit a slider to the base. I'll work with what you've got and find the best solution for your kitchen.
Do I need to buy the bin and fittings myself?
Yes - you choose the bin that suits your space and needs. I fit what you've bought. If you're not sure what to get, I can advise on what works well and what to avoid based on your cupboard size.
How long does fitting a kitchen bin take?
Usually 20-30 minutes for a standard pull-out bin. A bit longer if your cupboard needs adaptation or if you're having multiple bins fitted for sorting recycling. Quick job, makes a big difference.
Will it damage my kitchen cupboard?
There'll be a few screw holes for mounting the slider or door bracket, but that's it. If you ever remove the bin, the holes are small and hidden inside the cupboard anyway. I'll position everything to avoid any visible damage.
