Yes for heavy mounts or large compositions to confirm feasibility and provide a fixed quote. The second risk is wall damage. Anchoring a tall cabinet to the wall without appropriate fixings for the material can tear out plaster or brick when someone pulls on a drawer. For each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tile), there are specific fixings. Using the same generic fixing for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall down weeks later.

A poorly installed articulated bracket is the primary cause of TVs falling in homes. The articulated arm multiplies the leverage effect when the TV is tilted or rotated. If the wall anchor is marginal, the actual weight exerted on the fixing can triple at maximum extension. That's why we always look for metal studs behind plasterboard or a concrete pillar. We never anchor an articulated arm solely to plasterboard or brick in a cavity wall. IKEA is by far the most popular. Their furniture is reasonably well-designed, and the instructions are clear (though text-free, with universal drawings). Components fit together precisely when assembled correctly. The most common mistake is overtightening the plastic cam screws, which break and require replacement. The correct technique is to tighten by hand until snug and then give only half a turn more with a screwdriver, not an electric one. When the model requires it, secure wall anchoring with appropriate fixings for the material.

Plasterboard (laminated gypsum board) is the modern material used in ceilings and partition walls in recent constructions. It's very fragile without the correct fixing. For light loads up to 5 kilos, a tilting toggle anchor is sufficient. For medium loads, there are metal molly-type plasterboard fixings that expand behind the board. For heavy loads like a large TV, you need to locate the supporting metal studs behind the plasterboard with a detector and screw into the stud. Perforated brick is the most common material for interior partitions and non-load-bearing walls. It's reasonably easy to drill, but the problem is that the fixing can fall into the brick's internal cavity if it goes between two walls. To avoid this, we use special fixings that open inside the void. For medium loads, it works well. For heavy loads, it's better to find the nearest pillar. The first mistake is using a standard wall drill bit on tiles. The tip slips, and the tile cracks. You need to use a ceramic drill bit with a diamond tip. The second mistake is using an impact drill on tiles. Vibrations crack the tile from the inside, and fine cracks appear weeks later. You must drill without impact. The third mistake is not marking the centre properly. A pencil mark on masking tape around the point prevents the drill bit from slipping.

The price for modular kitchens in Sant Pere de Ribes typically ranges between €28 and €315. The final figure depends on the property's condition, the materials, and the working time.
