Being a kitchen fitter myself and from the brands you have mentioned, I personally would choose Howdens, I believe their Burford range is a good solid door and built to last, their carcases are all solid 18mm rigid construction (unless you go for their cheaper flat-pack option) B&Q in my opinion are not good quality, very flimsy and only 3mm back panels, Wickes are ok, if you decide on a ...

Hi, 5cm gap be fine for your electrics. You will need to pack out wall with 3" x 2" or 4" x 2" to put your hanging rail to. If the appliances are from IKEA they will fit.

Ikea uses sturdy steel suspension rail for these units, but there is no information about hinges. For a home office where I also have quite heavy cabinets filled with paper, the company I hired used chemical anchors with very long screws - the idea being that they drilled through the plasterboard all the way to the brick wall behind (but there was no suspension rail).
