Kitchen Fitters handle full refits, replacements and repairs for kitchens of all sizes. Common work includes removing old units, fitting new cabinets, installing worktops, fitting sinks and taps, and completing finishing. They can also adjust plumbing, fit appliances and install splashbacks. For larger projects, a kitchen-fitter can assess the room, advise on layout and schedule the work in stages.

Can you work with a tight layout?
Yes, but compact rooms may need careful planning. Provide measurements and photos so the Kitchen Fitter can plan the layout. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
Do you handle electrics?
