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 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.
