subject: How To Find A Reputable Kitchen Company [print this page] The best starting point is to Google kitchen installation companies in your area. The ones that appear at the top are obviously actively promoting themselves. Once you have identified a number of kitchen companies you will be able to identify the best in class by using some of our pointers below.
The kitchen is often the hub of the home and some would say that it is the most important room in the home. The best way of turning your dream kitchen to reality is by finding a professional and experienced kitchen company who provide design service. Whether you want a bold and bright kitchen or a rustic and romantic look they will be able to take your ideas and translate them into an achievable project.
A reputable company will use qualified time-served carpenters or joiners to fit the actual kitchen rather than self taught fitters who have no qualifications. They will have their own skilled workforce who are qualified to industry standard and accredited to meet legislation. Gas fitters should now be able to show their Gas Safe badge which recently replaced Corgi in the UK. Electricians working in the home must be Part P certified.
The whole project will need managing, and a good firm will talk you through their project management capabilities and costs if applicable. A good company will work to tight deadlines and communicate well with you. All you need to worry about is when you can invite your friends and family round.
Reputable companies will have testimonials that they will be proud to share with you. They will not be afraid to show you photos of case studies that show you the full project from start to finish. Furthermore a confident company will authorise you to telephone any previous clients.
A site visit is a must so that they fully understand what exactly you want from your kitchen and will give a realistic quote based on what they see and will look out for any problems that could hinder the fitting of your new kitchen. An experienced business will know what to look for. They may inspect the floor, the walls, the ceiling, location of electrical sockets and many other aspects before being able to quote you.
Price is always a major factor so make sure that you have a clear understanding of any additional works that may be required and then there can be no hidden surprises when you get the bill. A good honest company may offer to match pricing on any genuine like for like quote. If another company have quoted a very low price then it may be that they have inadvertently or purposely omitted to quote for part of the job. Some companies keep the pricing down but add on jobs and costs as they progress with the kitchen installation.
If you find a kitchen company who does not have a showroom then fear not. A smart kitchen company realises that costs can be cut by not have a showroom. An honest local firm that takes pride in what they do will show you kitchens which have been installed - in their own home and
using technology such as virtual tour 360 degree photography and an extensive photo gallery.
Quality branded appliances will be supplied by reputable installers. The best suppliers will only supply certain brands that they trust for reliability, performance, and more so now than ever before the carbon footprint specification. Premium brands are considered to be Bosch, Miele, CDA, and Range Master. These brands can form part of your perfect kitchen and will give your kitchen the wow factor.
A company that shows environmental responsibility is a well trusted one and one that is ethically aware. The Quooker tap for instance is a tap that produces water at 100 degrees which could very soon see the kettle redundant and can also save you money whilst reducing your carbon footprint. Reputable kitchen companies will be au fait with which appliances are most energy efficient.
We hope that you will find the perfect kitchen company using our helpful guidance.
