Belfast Sink Base Unit — 600mm & 800mm Kitchen Cabinet

Product Description

The Belfast Base Unit is a purpose-built kitchen cabinet designed to house a Belfast or Butler sink — the deep ceramic farmhouse sinks found in traditional kitchens, country cottages, and modern Shaker designs. Available in two heights (455mm and 495mm) to suit standard Belfast sink dimensions, plus a wider 800mm double base option for larger installations.

Each unit ships with gable ends, an 18mm back panel, and colour-matched cover caps for a clean finish. Designed to be paired with a single 596mm-wide door (or two 396mm doors on the 800mm size), sold separately so you can match the unit to the rest of your kitchen.

Manufactured in our Manchester workshop and dispatched semi-assembled — the rigid Quickcab system gives you the strength of a fully built unit with the ease of a 2-minute build. Slide the panels into place, snap the connectors, and the cabinet is ready to fit. No tools, no glue, no flat-pack frustration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Belfast base unit used for?

A Belfast base unit is a purpose-built kitchen cabinet that houses and supports a Belfast or Butler sink — the deep ceramic farmhouse-style sinks. Because Belfast sinks are heavy and sit at a specific height, they need a dedicated unit rather than a standard kitchen base cabinet.

Which size do I need — 455mm or 495mm height?

The unit height depends on your specific Belfast sink model. The 455mm unit suits standard Belfast sinks; the 495mm unit suits taller Butler sink models. Check your sink's external height before ordering. Most UK Belfast sinks fit one of these two standard sizes.

What's the 800mm double base option for?

The 800mm double base is a wider unit for installations where you want extra cupboard space alongside the Belfast sink — for example, fitting a sink and a cleaning supplies cupboard within the same run of base units. It uses two 495mm × 396mm doors instead of one wider single door.

Will this fit a standard UK Belfast sink?

Yes — both heights are designed to UK kitchen industry standards and fit all major Belfast and Butler sink brands (including Caple, Lamona, Reginox, Villeroy & Boch, and Howdens). If you're unsure, send us your sink dimensions before ordering and we'll confirm fit.

Are the doors included?

No — doors are sold separately so you can match the colour, finish, and style to the rest of your kitchen. We supply matching doors across our Cavallo, Harrogate, Windsor, and Mayfair ranges. Call us on 0161 465 4007 to coordinate the door order with your unit.

Is the sink included?

No — the Belfast sink is sold separately. This product is the cabinet only. We can recommend compatible Belfast sink suppliers if needed.

How is it assembled?

The Quickcab system is semi-assembled — most of the cabinet structure ships pre-built, and you simply slot the panels and connectors into place. Assembly typically takes 2 minutes per unit with no tools, glue, or specialist equipment required.

Does it support the weight of a Belfast sink?

Yes — the 18mm back panel and rigid Quickcab construction are specifically designed to support the weight of a heavy ceramic Belfast sink. The unit is built around the load-bearing requirements of a typical Belfast or Butler sink installation.
