Modular Kitchen Cabinet (10 ft L-Shape) in KL & Selangor

A modular kitchen uses factory-sized cabinet boxes that are planned as a system, then installed as a run. For many terrace, condo and apartment kitchens in the Klang Valley, a 10 ft L-shape is the standard layout: one wall for the hob and hood, the return wall for the sink and prep.

Direct answer: KL Servis Rumah supplies and installs modular kitchen cabinets from RM 7,500 for a 10 ft L-shape, using an 18 mm melamine carcass, Häfele or Blum hardware, and doors in laminate, acrylic or spray paint.

This is the service page explanation of what that package includes, when modular is the right choice, and when you should step up to a custom plywood kitchen.

What “modular 10 ft L-shape” actually includes

The published starting price is a starting specification, not a one-size kitchen for every home. A typical modular L-shape quote covers:

• Base and wall units planned to a 10 ft L (about 3 m + 3 m of run, adjusted to your walls).
• 18 mm melamine carcass with edge banding.
• Häfele or Blum hinges and drawer runners (soft-close on the quoted spec).
• Door and drawer fronts in laminate, acrylic or spray-painted finish.
• Standard drawers, a sink base, and a hob/oven housing as designed.
• On-site levelling, scribing and hardware adjustment.

It does not automatically include a quartz or granite top, a sink, a hob, or moving water and electrical points. Those are itemised. Countertops are quoted separately — see quartz and granite countertops from RM 220 / linier ft.

When a modular kitchen is the right choice

Modular is usually the better fit when:

• The kitchen is a normal L, U or straight run with reasonably square walls.
• You want a faster path from design lock to install.
• You want consistent factory boxes and a lower starting price than full custom.
• You are refreshing a condo or apartment kitchen without moving the sink or hob.

Choose custom plywood instead when the room has a low beam, an odd pipe chase, a full-height pantry that must hit the ceiling, or walls that are badly out of square. That is covered on the custom plywood kitchen page.

Door finishes that work in Malaysian kitchens

Humidity and wok heat are harder on doors than on the boxes. A heat filler and the correct hood matter more than the colour you pick from a catalogue.

If you are still deciding carcass and door boards, the kitchen cabinet material guide explains how common Malaysian materials behave.

How modular installation is done

1. Measure — walls, ceiling, window, existing sink, hob, hood and isolators.
2. Lock the module plan — box widths are planned so you do not end with a useless 80 mm leftover.
3. Quote — carcass, doors, hardware brand, extras (tall unit, inner drawers, LED), and any service relocation.
4. Manufacture / supply — boxes and doors are prepared to the locked drawing.
5. Install — old units out, new run levelled, scribed, connected at the L-corner, hardware tuned.
6. Top and services — countertop template after the boxes are fixed, then sink and hob cutouts.

A standard modular install is often completed in about a day once the old kitchen is out and the walls are ready. The longer wait is usually manufacturing and the stone top.

Cost factors for a modular L-shape

The starting price is from RM 7,500. The quote moves when you add:

• A longer run than 10 ft, or a U-shape / island.
• Acrylic or spray doors instead of standard laminate.
• Inner drawers, a tall pantry, or glass wall units.
• Soft-close upgrades beyond the base spec (if you choose a different hardware set).
• Quartz or granite tops, sink, and hob cutouts.
• Moving the sink, gas point or hood circuit — handled with plumbing and electrical.

What professionals check before they order boxes

• Whether the L-corner can take a carousel, magic corner, or two dead-end bases.
• Hood height versus the window lintel.
• Dishwasher or washing-machine gap if you want one later.
• Whether the existing floor tiles will stay (they must be level enough for a plinth).
• Condo lift size — tall units sometimes go up in two pieces.

Crooked doors on an old kitchen are not always a reason to replace everything. If the boxes are still sound, a door and hardware makeover from RM 4,200 may be enough. If doors already hang out of line, read kitchen cabinet door misaligned.

Common mistakes with modular kitchens

• Buying “10 ft” from a showroom without measuring the actual window and pipe.
• Forcing a leftover strip at the fridge end instead of resizing two boxes.
• Installing boxes before the splashback tiles are finished, then fighting the thickness.
• Skipping a countertop template and hoping the L-corner is 90 degrees.

Frequently asked questions

Is RM 7,500 the full kitchen price?

It is the published starting price for a modular 10 ft L-shape cabinet package. Countertops, sink, hob, tiles and service relocation are quoted separately.

Can I use my own sink and hob?

Yes. We cut the top to your appliances once the brand and model are confirmed. Bring the cutout drawing from the manufacturer.

How long does install take?

Cabinet install for a standard L-shape is typically about one day after demolition. Stone tops add a template visit and a fitting visit.

Will modular cabinets work in a condo?

Yes. Modular boxes are often easier to bring up in a lift than large custom carcasses. We follow management hours and lift protection rules.

What warranty do I get?

Kitchen cabinet structure is covered by a 5-year cabinet structure warranty. Hardware follows the brand and the written quote.
