Kitchen Installation
Kitchen installers and fitters are the people who help to turn a designer’s vision into reality. Few of us have the skills and time to take on a project of this magnitude ourselves, so having a skilled person come in to build the kitchen, wire up the appliances and get everything working can be hugely beneficial. With the price of a new kitchen coming in at anything upwards of £5,000, it’s vital to get someone who knows what they’re doing to fit it.
Most people buy their new kitchen from one of the major high street kitchen installers, all of which offer fitting as part of their service. The advantage to using in-house installers is that they will be very familiar with the company’s products and policies, and are the experts on those particular brands. The downside is that you are usually unable to choose which fitter you get for the job; the kitchen company will find out who is available at the time. Alternatively, you might just ask the kitchen company to design and supply the kitchen and get an independent installer or fitter. This allows you more control as a homeowner, but involves more effort too. There is also the option of getting a carpenter to fit the kitchen, calling on other trades such as plasterers or electrician as required. There is no right and wrong way of getting a kitchen installer. Think about what’s important to you – if it’s having a one stop shop, then choosing to use the supplier’s fitting team might be the way to go. Consider your options and work out what the best route is for you.
If you’re going with the installers and fitters from the company supplying the kitchen, then you’ll have little to no control over the person who arrives at your house. If you’d prefer to have more control over who fits your kitchen, then choosing an independent designer might be preferable. There is a wide range of people offering kitchen installation services, from joiners and carpenters to people who specialise in fitting a particular brand of kitchens only. Always try to meet your kitchen installer in person, and show them both your existing kitchen and the plans for the new one. Talk over what services they can offer in addition to fitting the units and appliances. It’s a good idea to talk about timescales and lead times at this stage of planning as good kitchen installers can have their diaries booked up weeks if not months in advance. Ask the installers to supply quotes for the work in writing, being very clear about what is included and not included in the overall price. This will make it far easier to compare quotes from different installers.
If you are using the services of an installer supplied by a kitchen supply company, then the cost will be rolled into the overall cost of the kitchen. The advantage of this is that the big companies often offer some sort of interest free credit, allowing you to spread the cost of the installation over a period as long as five years. Using an independent kitchen fitter usually means you’ll have to meet the whole cost at once, usually when the job has been completed. The cost of fitting will vary according to the size of kitchen, the complexity and the type of appliances and fittings you have chosen. The average cost for kitchen installation in the UK is around £2,000. This is just the average though, the costs can vary from anything from £750 up to several thousands of pounds for more complicated installations. Always get multiple quotes in writing.
There are a number of factors to think about when choosing a kitchen installer, and these factors will have different levels of importance for different people. Perhaps the most important factor is the installer’s level of experience. It’s always best to get someone who has fitted dozens of similar kitchens in the past, and can show photos of previous jobs. Ask about how quickly they would be able to fit your installation into their diary, and what services they can supply in addition to fitting the units. It’s important to find an installer who you like and trust. This is someone who is going to be in and out of your home for at least a week, and it needs to be someone you get along with.
A new kitchen is one of the biggest projects most of us will undertake. Getting the right installer is critical to the success of the project. There is a range of different installation options, and understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each will help work out what the best option is for your project.
