SMART DIY Cupboards FAQ’s

SMART DIY Cupboards are pre-assembled, easy-to-install storage solutions for your kitchen, bedroom, study, or home office, exclusively offered by TimBuild. They save you time and effort because the cutting, drilling, and edging of the units are already completed for you.

The primary benefits are saving you hours of time and effort. The units are pre-assembled, meaning you don’t have to worry about drilling planks, constructing from scratch, or finding the right screws. They are also affordable and come in a wide range of shapes, styles, and finishes for a customised look.

No, you do not! One of the major time-saving benefits is that TimBuild Mega handles the pre-cutting, edging, and drilling of your doors and worktops, ensuring they are ready for immediate installation.

Absolutely! While they are pre-assembled, the TimBuild professionals assist you in designing your new space based on your specific measurements, work surface layout, storage needs, and room traffic flow. We use your ideas and our expertise to create an entire cupboard structure.

The comprehensive range includes Floor Units (free-standing storage, drawers, corner cupboards), Wall Units (multi-level shelving, end display, corner units), and Specialist Units (made to order, like sink cabinets and hanging cupboards).

Our simple six-step process ensures success:

  1. Measure your room.
  2. Select your carcasses in-store.
  3. Choose your colour, doors, and accessories.
  4. Get Ready for install (we pre-cut/drill/edge).
  5. On Time Delivery.
  6. Install your cupboards

TimBuild offers a wide range of great value options, including a wide range of colours for doors and worktops, different styles of handles, and various cupboard and table legs and feet.

All you need to do is measure your room and bring a rough sketch, including surfaces and doors, down to TimBuild Mega. Our in-store professionals will guide you through the selection and design process.

Lead times can vary, as your units are custom-cut, drilled, and edged just for you. Your timeline depends on two main factors: the current capacity of our machine shop and the stock availability of your selected components (like doors and worktops). We always strive to process orders as quickly as possible, and we will provide you with a more accurate timeline when you place your order in-store.

Yes. While the cupboards are designed for DIY installation, the last step of our process is to either install them yourself or let us recommend a professional installer to assist you.

SMART DIY Cupboards are generally the more budget-friendly route, since the cutting, drilling, and edging are already done for you as part of the pre-assembled range. A fully custom build, cut to your exact dimensions, gives you more flexibility for tricky spaces but takes more design and cutting time. Ask the team in-store to help weigh up which suits your project and budget.

Yes. TimBuild Mega offers a wide range of colours, styles, and finishes for doors and worktops. Starting with a standard finish is a practical way to keep initial costs down, with room to upgrade specific elements later if your budget allows.

Yes — TimBuild Mega offers a Buy Now, Pay Later option from Kanga Finance. Ask in-store for details on how it works for your project.

Measure your room accurately and bring a rough sketch — including surfaces and doors — down to TimBuild Mega. The in-store team will help finalise the design based on your actual measurements, storage needs, and traffic flow before anything is cut, which helps avoid expensive remeasuring or rework later.

Yes. Many customers combine the standard SMART DIY Cupboards range for most of the kitchen with a few custom-cut pieces for awkward spaces or corners — a practical way to balance cost against an exact fit.

Lead time is approximately 5–10 days, depending on the range of units ordered. Planning ahead, rather than needing everything urgently, helps you make unrushed, budget-conscious decisions.

It’s worth considering. Starting with floor units, the main workhorse of most kitchens, and adding wall units or specialist pieces later is a practical way to spread both the cost and the work over time.

You don’t need a finished plan. Bring your room measurements and a rough sketch, and the in-store team will help design your space around your storage needs, layout, and budget.
