A Guide to Planning Your New Kitchen
Whether you’re a trades professional preparing for a clients new kitchen, or a home renovator planning it yourself, we’re here to help you with all the details you’ll need to get the job done.
Before visiting your local trade counter or showroom, we recommend if possible to give us a call and speak to one of our team members who will advise you of all the information we need, to help us design and quote your project. We also recommend browsing our brochures, which can be downloaded from the homepage of our website. There is also a handy ‘Guide to Planning Your Kitchen’ available to download below for free.
INSPIRATION
After you have gathered all your design ideas from magazines, on our website, Houzz, or on social media, we recommend taking some time to visit your nearest showroom and experience the kitchen displays in person. From kitchen accessories, to flooring and appliances, we carry everything under one roof to create your dream kitchen.
TALK TO OUR TEAM
We recommend to make an appointment for your initial consultation at your local Showroom, please allow up to one hour and ensure to bring your room measurements with you. You will have a dedicated kitchen designer for your project, and they will talk you though the various layouts, styles and important considerations to know when planning your new kitchen. Your designer will create a design based on your ideas, your space and your budget. This will be followed by a quotation.
TALK TO YOUR BUILDER / TRADESPERSON
When it comes to a new kitchen, there are many things to consider, including structural changes, plumbing, updates to your electrics and decorating. Trade professionals have the craftsmanship and knowledge to fit kitchens to the highest standards, so we would always recommend confirming measurements and any other important considerations with your local tradesperson.
CONFIRM YOUR ORDER
When you are happy with the final design and have chosen your finishing touches like handles, appliances and worktop, then its time for us to prepare your kitchen. There are 2 options and depending on your preferred timeframe, you can choose: 1) Flatpack units or 2) SmartFit* units. A 3D design will be provided to you once your deposit has been received.
