Hi,

Would anyone please be able to advise me on the pros and cons for options to install a new fitted kitchen?

We currently have the kitchen area empty of all units and appliances after they were removed to dry and repair the area after flooding earlier in the year. We will soon be at the stage where the kitchen can be refitted, so rather than put the old stuff back we would like to get new. It is not covered by our insurance so we would be incurring the cost.

Would I be better off getting a kitchen fitting company to supply and fit everything or would it be practical to source the supplies myself and then look for contractors to fit? Having never had to do this before I am not sure of the best options moving forwards.

The work involved is tiling the floor, fitting kitchen units and appliances and installation of a suspended ceiling.


Thx
Jack

Others will hopefully advise on whether to source your own kitchens - i'd say yes go that way.

As regards a full fit then go for a local kitchen fitter, or small builder. Dont allow a shed or a highly advertised company to fit the kitchen - or you will regret it.

You will find that there is far more to a full fit than your limited list. Research these sites and others similar. Almost every aspect of building work might be touched on during a kitchen renovation.

The business must proceed according to an agreed drawing a scheduled list of works, and a timetable.
All materials must be on site before work starts, and you the householder must measure measure measure - check, check, check.
 
If your sink & appliances are going in the same place as they were before, then perhaps you could put all the cabinets together yourself and have those in place but get someone in to fit the worktops, hob and plumbing.
