Your main decisions

Keeping the main layout can help contain disruption. Moving appliances, sinks or walls adds service and construction decisions.

Islands need comfortable circulation and usable seating space. Mark the footprint on the floor before committing.

Worktops, cabinetry and flooring all influence installation order. Confirm the worktop templating process and who makes final appliance connections.

02 / Prepare

Before you request a quote

List the appliances by exact model and check doors can open fully.
Plan sockets, lighting and extraction routes before cabinets are fitted.
Decide whether flooring continues under units and how appliances will be removed for servicing.

03 / Compare

What your quote should cover

Cabinet schedule, internal fittings, panels, plinths and handles.
Worktops, upstands, cut-outs, templating and installation.
Service alterations, decoration, flooring and waste removal.
Who supplies appliances, checks deliveries and resolves damaged items.

Completion & handover

Check doors and drawers, appliance access, agreed extraction and all finishing pieces. Record missing or damaged items. Ask which parts of the electrical, drainage or structural work need approval and certification.

Walk through the work together, list outstanding items and agree who will resolve them and when. Keep relevant care instructions, certificates and written warranty terms.
