Hi all,
I'm planning on having a kitchin installed in summer and have a few questions about cost and opinions on big name suppliers.
So
1. what is the usual pricing stratagy for kitchin fitters, do they charge per item fitted (eg cabinets) or by the hour?
2. my kitchin basically a long rectangle with a door at each end (6 cabinets both sides). would a fitter be able to finish this in a week (i work week on shift then a week off). work would be new cabinets, worktops and keeping the current appliances/sink/cooker in the same place. I could get the floor retiled at a later date, just so long as i have a functional kitchin after a week.
3. I could remove my current kitchin myself, would that represent any real money saving? considering then i would have the responsibility of disposing of the current kitchin.
4. companies like ikea/b&q ect often have sales but how do they compare to the prices of independant kitchin fitters, maybe i would be better buying from them but paying someone else to fit.
5. any of the big kitchin suppliers that are recommended, or more importantly recommended to avoid?
I plan on getting a few quotes and looking at materials/units at the end of the month so had a few questions
is there anything else I should be aware of when looking for quotes?
Thanks for your time
