# Asko integrated column access

### Quoted separately because it is honestly the longer half

Almost every cabinet on this make is flush in joinery drawn around it, so reaching the machine means the door panel, the handle, the trim and sometimes a fixed plinth — and doing that without marking a cabinet run is a skill rather than a step. Burying it inside another figure makes every estimate on the site wrong, so it is priced on its own. The visit also records the air gap the fitter left, because a cabinet returned to a surround tighter than it was built for will keep failing whatever is replaced inside it.

What this involves

Priced separately because it is genuinely the longer half of the visit

Panels, handles and trim removed and refitted without marking the run

The air gap the fitter left is recorded, because it explains repeat failures

Protect the run before anything moves

Floor and adjacent doors covered, hinges and fixings photographed as found. A cabinet returned a millimeter out is a complaint that outlives the repair.

Bring the machine out on its own tracks

Services released with slack, cabinet forward far enough to work behind, and its weight supported rather than dragged on a tile floor.

Refit to the run, not to the machine

Panel and handle aligned to the adjacent doors, plinth back, and the ventilation gap confirmed against what the machine needs.

### Will the kitchen be marked?

That is the whole point of quoting this separately. Floor and adjacent doors are covered, hinges and fixings are photographed as found, and the run goes back aligned to itself rather than to the appliance.

### Why does it take so long?

Usually the services. Water and power run short by an installer who never expected the cabinet to move again is the single most common reason, and freeing enough slack safely is most of the time on the job.
