I want to replace my kitchen but feel that the wall cupboards may as well
stay put as they are in good condition. However, I shall need to match up
the doors.

Do doors from the sheds have the hinge counterbores at some sort of standard
spacing? If so, what is it?

Also - and views on the quality of base carcases. Is there much to chose
between them? What should I look out for / avoid.

If only they were!

Plywood - very good and not common.
18mm melamine faced chipboard - OK if dry.
16mm (or less!) crap.

Don't think so. Another option is to go to one of the replacement door
companies (google "replacement kitchen doors"), as these places will
drill the hinge positions to your specifications.

Proper corner units, i.e. not with half a 1000mm base hidden away and
almost inaccessible. B&Q do them. Probably others too.
