Does our countertop continue under the upper cabinet? (with photo)

Hi all, 

 

We're very short on counterspace in the kitchen so we're going to remove the upper cabinet sitting on the countertop since we don't need that storage. My question is does the granite counter top likely continue under the cabinet?

I would say yes, much easier and cheaper to have a simple shape during install.

I woould say almost certainly yes but you could check by removing the drawers or extending the drawer and looking up through the door.

I'll bet the counter top goes under the units, but I bet the upstand only fills the present gap, so you will probably be left wanting a new upstand.

Thats the way to confirm it.

Hi All, 

 

Thanks for the responses, good to hear we might be in luck! Hadn't thought about the upstand so will need to think about what we can do there. I tried to get a drawer out but it was a bit tricky with the way it's enclosed.

 

Would ye say there's holes drilled in to the countertop where the cabinet is attached?

Very unlikely because it’s so hard. Just find the fixing screw and undo them, see what happens. Remember - righty tighty, lefty loosey ?
