Supply and fit, or fit only

If you have already bought your kitchen from Howdens, Wren, Ikea or anywhere else, we will fit it. If you would rather we handled the whole thing, we can supply units and appliances too. Buying your own usually saves money on the units and costs you time managing the delivery schedule — either way we tell you honestly which works out better for your job.

What is actually involved

A kitchen is one of the most trade-heavy rooms in a house. A typical job runs: strip out the old kitchen and dispose of it, any wall removal or opening up, move the electrics and add the circuits a modern kitchen needs, move gas and water to suit the new layout, plaster and make good, floor levelling, fit the units and doors, template and install the worktop, then second fix the sink, taps, appliances, extractor and lighting, followed by tiling and decoration.

Getting that sequence wrong is what causes most kitchen jobs to overrun. Worktop templating in particular cannot happen until the units are level and fixed, and then takes seven to ten days to fabricate if you are having stone or quartz.

Knocking through

A lot of kitchen jobs in London terraces involve removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room. If that wall is load bearing, it needs a structural engineer’s calculation, a steel beam, and a building control notice. We handle all three, and we will tell you at the site visit whether the wall is structural before you get attached to the idea.
