FAQs
Do you replace kitchen doors for a small job?
Some fitters can replace doors and hinges without changing the carcasses. Ask whether this is suitable for your kitchen. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Kitchen Fitter can plan the right approach.
What is included in a refit?
A refit usually includes removing old units, fitting new ones and completing worktops and finishing. Ask the Kitchen Fitter to confirm the exact scope. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
How do I compare quotes?
Compare the scope, materials, access and disposal rather than price alone. A written breakdown helps you compare like for like. 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. 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.
Do you handle electrics for a small job?
Some kitchen-fitters work with electricians for hobs or lighting. Ask what is included and whether an electrician is needed. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Kitchen Fitter can plan the right approach.
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. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Kitchen Fitter can plan the right approach.
