DIY Kitchens Helmsley, suitable butler sink

7 replies

CMBC0320 · 12/05/2020 13:17

I have started looking for 800mm Butler sinks for the DIY Helmsley kitchen I intend to order in the near future. When I looked at the DIY Belfast unit, I realised that the Shaws classic Butler I had set my eyes on was unlikely to fit.
In the hope to be proven wrong I contacted DIY Kitches, who confirmed for me that a suitable sink cannot be higher than 225mm. Unfortunately the Shaws Butler is 255mm high, and I've seen several others that are even higher.

So my question is, does anyone have a Butler/Belfast sink with their Helmsley kitchen, Or know of one that would fit?

Yes we had their own innova Belfast sink. It works fine and looks good but I don't find them very practical. Also if you wash up,heavy pans they do scratch and mark.

Cillit Bang mould cleaner gets rid of blank marks .

IME, Only consider a belfast if you are shorter than 5'5" as otherwise you will more than likely get backache.

@KingOfDogShite well that's a thing of beauty!

gorgeous isn’t it :) it’s actually the ribchester I’ve got which is the double one. We saw it in the kitchen showroom and had a proper that one 👉🏼 moment.

We’ve just had this exact issue. Wish I’d seen the Shaws Bowland (but my DH would probably not have agreed to it anyway). We bought a Villeroy and Bosch sink from Neptune.
