How do I compare quotes for a bigger project?

Compare the scope, materials, access and disposal rather than price alone. A written breakdown helps you compare like for like. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.

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?

Some kitchen-fitters work with electricians for hobs or lighting. Ask what is included and whether an electrician is needed. Photos and measurements can help the Kitchen Fitter give clearer guidance. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.

What about extractor fans?

If an extractor is being installed or replaced, the fitter can advise on ducting and access. Electrical work may be separate. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.

Can you fit splashbacks instead of tiles for a bigger project?

Yes, some fitters can install splashback panels. Ask about options and how they affect the scope. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Kitchen Fitter can plan the right approach.
