Joseph Joseph RollGrip Under Shelf Kitchen Roll Dispenser
The Joseph Joseph RollGrip transforms wasted under-cabinet space into functional storage for kitchen roll, clearing your worktop whilst maintaining easy access. This dispenser mounts discreetly beneath wall cupboards or shelves, positioning the roll exactly where you need it without occupying valuable counter space or requiring a separate standing holder.
The spring-loaded tension arm holds the roll securely whilst allowing smooth one-handed tearing – simply pull down with one hand and the controlled tension provides clean tears without the roll unravelling or spinning freely. The brushed stainless-steel finish coordinates with most kitchen hardware, whilst adjustable sides accommodate varying cabinet widths during installation.
Key features:
- Space-saving installation: Mounts under wall cabinets to free up worktop and wall space
- One-handed operation: Spring-loaded tension arm enables easy tearing with a single hand
- Prevents unravelling: Controlled tension stops rolls from freely spinning or unwinding
- Adjustable fitting: Sides adjust to accommodate different cabinet widths and configurations
- Professional finish: Brushed stainless steel coordinates with kitchen hardware and appliances
- Easy installation: Mounting screws supplied; straightforward fitting process
This dispenser suits anyone wanting to reclaim worktop space or position kitchen roll conveniently near cooking and food preparation areas without visible wall mounting or counter clutter.
What Customers Ask About Joseph Joseph RollGrip
Will this fit under my kitchen cabinets?
The RollGrip measures 30.5cm wide and requires approximately 17.5cm of clearance depth from the cabinet underside. It fits most standard wall cabinets, but you'll need to measure your available space before purchasing. Check that you have sufficient clearance between the cabinet bottom and your worktop or splashback – typically you'll need at least 20cm gap to accommodate the dispenser plus a standard kitchen roll.
How does the one-handed tearing work?
The spring-loaded tension arm applies controlled resistance to the roll. When you pull a sheet downward with one hand, the tension provides enough grip to tear the paper cleanly against the perforations without requiring a second hand to hold the roll steady. The mechanism prevents the common frustration of the entire roll spinning freely when you try to tear a single sheet.
What size kitchen rolls does it accommodate?
The dispenser fits rolls with a maximum diameter of 140mm (5.5 inches), which includes most standard UK kitchen roll brands. Measure your preferred brand if you use particularly large or premium rolls – most standard supermarket brands fit comfortably with room for the roll to unwind as you use it.
Is installation difficult?
Installation requires basic DIY skills – you'll need to mark drilling positions, drill pilot holes into the underside of your cabinet, and secure the dispenser with the supplied screws. The adjustable sides help align the unit correctly. If you're comfortable using a drill and screwdriver, installation typically takes 10-15 minutes. Ensure you're drilling into solid wood or adequate cabinet material that can support the dispenser's weight plus a full roll.
Will it damage my cabinets?
Installation requires drilling screw holes into the cabinet underside, which will leave marks if you later remove the dispenser. Consider this permanent modification before installing. The screw holes are relatively small and positioned on the underside of cabinets where they're not visible, but you cannot remove the unit without leaving these marks behind.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Regular cleaning: Wipe the dispenser with a damp cloth to remove dust, grease splatters, and fingerprints. The brushed stainless-steel finish shows marks less visibly than polished finishes, but regular wiping maintains its appearance. Dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
What to avoid: Do not use abrasive cloths, scourers, or steel wool, which will scratch the brushed finish. Avoid strong chemical cleaners, bleach-based products, or harsh degreasers that may damage the metal finish or affect the spring mechanism. Stick to mild washing-up liquid diluted in water for routine cleaning.
Installation tips: Before drilling, double-check measurements and alignment. Mark drilling positions carefully using a pencil. Drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter to ensure secure fixing. Ensure screws penetrate solid material – if your cabinets have a thin veneer or laminate base, you may need longer screws or toggle fixings for adequate support.
Loading new rolls: To change the roll, release the tension arm (usually by lifting or pulling it aside), slide the old cardboard tube out, slip a new roll onto the holder, and re-engage the tension arm against the roll. Ensure the paper feeds from underneath the roll for the most effective tearing action with the tension system.
Adjusting sides: If you need to reposition the dispenser or adjust it to fit a different cabinet width, the adjustable sides typically slide or can be loosened and retightened. Check the specific mechanism on your unit – some designs have side rails that adjust before final installation.
Maintaining tension: The spring-loaded mechanism is designed to maintain consistent tension throughout the roll's life. If you notice the tension weakening over time, check that the arm is properly engaged against the roll and that the spring mechanism isn't obstructed by debris or paper fibres.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've installed it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. Note that installation does require drilling holes in your cabinet, which will remain visible after removal. We recommend being confident about the placement before drilling.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If the dispenser breaks or the spring mechanism fails, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of the issue. Photos are acceptable as evidence. Normal wear and tear is expected, but mechanical failures are covered.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Can I install this on the underside of a shelf instead of a cabinet?
Yes, the RollGrip works equally well mounted beneath open shelving or floating shelves, provided the shelf material is substantial enough to support the weight securely. Ensure the shelf is made from solid wood or sturdy material rather than thin particle board, and that your screws penetrate far enough for secure fixing.
Will this work with eco-friendly or recycled kitchen rolls?
The dispenser accommodates any kitchen roll up to 140mm diameter, including eco-friendly brands. However, some recycled papers are slightly less consistent in perforation strength or thickness. The tension mechanism works with most brands, but very thick or irregularly perforated rolls may tear less cleanly than standard kitchen rolls.
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a drill with an appropriate bit for pilot holes (typically 2-3mm depending on screw size), a screwdriver (possibly Phillips or flathead depending on supplied screws), a pencil for marking positions, and a tape measure for accurate placement. A spirit level helps ensure the dispenser mounts straight, though this isn't strictly necessary for function.
Can I mount this inside a cupboard instead of underneath it?
Whilst technically possible to mount inside a cupboard on the underside of a shelf or the cabinet top, consider whether you want to open a cupboard door each time you need kitchen roll. The design is optimised for external under-cabinet mounting where the roll remains easily accessible without opening doors.
Will the brushed steel finish match my appliances?
Brushed stainless steel is a popular finish that coordinates well with most modern kitchen appliances and hardware. However, stainless steel finishes vary between manufacturers – some are warmer-toned, others cooler. If exact matching is critical, compare the product images with your existing finishes, or contact us for more specific guidance on the finish tone.
How much weight can the mounting support?
When properly installed into solid cabinet material with the supplied screws, the dispenser supports a full standard kitchen roll without issue. The critical factor is the quality of your cabinet material rather than the dispenser's capacity – ensure you're drilling into substantial wood rather than thin veneer or hollow sections. If your cabinets are lightweight construction, consider alternative mounting solutions or additional fixings.
