A kitchen fitter will need kitchen installation work before embarking on kitchen fitting jobs. A few tips in finding the right kitchen fitters for your job are as follows:​

Check kitchen fitters by asking for referrals from friends, family and neighbours

Although kitchen fitters might seem like a mouth full, kitchen fitting can be fairly simple as long as you know what kitchen fittings to use and the kitchen installation methods to apply them with. You should base your choice of kitchen installations on what will compliment your kitchen design the best. There are several kitchen appliances that require some form of kitchen installation work before they can be used. The kitchen fitter will need to have some knowledge about how kitchens work as well as having good kitchen supply skills before embarking on a kitchen construction project.A few tips in finding the right kitchen installer for the job are:

1. Get an online quote from a number of companies to see the differences in kitchen installation quotes.
2. ​Ask friends or relatives for kitchen quotations if they have had kitchen work done recently.
3. Check out kitchen renovation magazines for kitchen suppliers and kitchen installation companies as well as kitchen renovation programs on TV for recommendations or to pick up a few tips yourself.
4. ​Get at least three quotations before choosing a kitchen installer as it is important to compare prices as well as qualifications and experience when finding someone to do kitchen installations.
5. Try to find a company that does kitchen renovations because this means that they will know your kitchen appliances better than just someone who does straight fittings only, allowing you the benefit of getting everything done one go and cheaper than having two kitchen fitters come.
6. If your kitchen layout includes a dishwasher and you want it to be fitted in another kitchen location, make sure that the kitchen fitter knows this during kitchen installation as they may not be able to connect it up otherwise unless they cut through walls or floors which can be costly and time-consuming!
7. Fitting appliances yourself should save you money but if you don't have much experience it is definitely worth letting the professionals do kitchen installations because one slip could cause damage to other fittings or appliances very easily otherwise.
8. Anyone who is doing kitchen renovations should also know how to handle high-powered electrical equipment safely so if kitchen renovation isn't their main line of work, check with them before starting kitchen installation to see what they recommend.
9. Once you have chosen kitchen installation, there are a few things that need buying and it is best to do this prior to kitchen renovation as some of the equipment may not be available for hire if kitchen installation hasn't been started yet and many stores will only hold items for a short space of time.
10. When considering kitchen installation, one thing that shouldn't be forgotten is how much strength will be required in both people and cranes at different times; anything from fitting kitchen cabinets up through putting appliances such as ovens and dishwashers into their final position after kitchen renovation can take months of exact measuring and marking-out on site before getting them level and plumb for kitchen fitting.

Note kitchen installation steps to be taken beforehand

There are kitchen installation processes that kitchen fitters will take care of in kitchen renovation, but there's also a lot that needs to be planned before kitchen remodeling begins. For example obtaining an accurate kitchen outline plan can greatly reduce the time kitchen renovators take when starting out kitchen remodel projects. Kitchen planner is able to provide custom kitchen design layouts free of charge if you have some idea about what layout would suit your kitchen best. There are many options available when it comes to kitchen renovation, but by making sure any structural parts are in good condition and the walls are plumb walls before starting out anything, including painting over wallpaper or repainting, will prevent problems occurring in future with cracks in walls and kitchen cabinet doors jamming.

It is very important that an accurate layout drawing is made of the dining room, so any changes can be accurately detailed and measured and compared with current framed drawings and it will give you a better idea of what style of kitchen to opt for. By getting your flooring in before starting out on installing any new fixtures or fittings it will mean less mess when removing old tiles or parquet flooring if this is needed.

Do kitchen fitters do everything?

The kitchen installation company provides the kitchen from a kitchen fitter, a kitchen supplier or a kitchen showroom. They then fit it to your kitchen space and clients need to install appliances such as washing machines.

Many companies only provide the kitchen design and supply materials for you to self-build your kitchen, but if you want them to come in and do all of the work they will usually call themselves a "kitchen specialist". Kitchen fitting companies often handle other building work as well as kitchen installations, including flat pack furniture assembly, plastering and painting. If you need something else doing alongside your kitchen installation they should be able to help you with those services as well because most companies do than just kitchen installation.

As a kitchen fitting company, we provide many kitchen fitting services including kitchen design and planning, kitchen supplier recommendations, kitchen self-assembly, kitchen installations plus repair work such as kitchen doors and handles. We do this using experienced kitchen fitters with training in cabinet making, plumbing and electrical work (for example) who are also friendly enough to give you advice on how to choose your appliances like fridges or cookers when choosing kitchen supplies.

Their prices vary depending on the complexity of your requirements but there is a no-obligation quotation system where you can ask for information about different jobs etc, although they tend to suggest that kitchen installation is not a DIY job and you should seriously consider kitchen fitting as a possible option costing much less than self-assembly kitchen suppliers.
​
If you're prepared to take the time and patience required, kitchen installations can be an enjoyable experience that will give you an excellent kitchen for less money.

Paying for your kitchen

In planning a kitchen remodeling, now you have the major details of what you want and have a cost estimate. It is time to determine how you will pay for your kitchen. The options to pay for your kitchen are as follows: kitchen installation, kitchen fitting or kitchen supplies shopping.
In kitchen installations, you have to pay for the kitchen in full prior to any construction work being done. In kitchen fitting there are no large deposits required and material costs are also staggered over a period of time with payments coming during the project as materials are used throughout the kitchen. For kitchen supply shopping you have to purchase all kitchen units, kitchen appliances, kitchen accessories and kitchen worktops separately.
Kitchen installation costs are the most expensive because you are paying for both labour and materials at one time. With kitchen fitting, labour is spread out over a much longer period of time with material costs being paid as they are used. Kitchen supply shopping is the least expensive kitchen installation method because you are buying materials in large quantities thus paying wholesale prices.

A common question we get around kitchen payments and costs is around how to update an old kitchen on a budget in the UK. A few ideas to achieve a cheap kitchen installation includes the following ideas:

1. Modern kitchen materials are cheaper than kitchen restoration materials. Consider partial kitchen renovation in order to save money instead of doing everything at once. It is also vital to have the kitchen rewired. This will reduce kitchen electrical costs when you move forward with your kitchen installation design ideas.

2. Your kitchen cabinets should be painted in lieu of being stripped and varnished.

3. Kitchen taps are more affordable than kitchen faucets, especially if you buy kitchen taps online.

4. Shop around before choosing your kitchen appliances in order to get the best kitchen installation prices possible. For example, kitchen ovens are cheaper when bought from large DIY chains instead of small kitchen appliance shops or kitchen showrooms.
5. It is advisable not to pay over the odds for kitchen workmanship whilst trying to save money on kitchen fitting costs in order that they do not cancel each other out by canceling out profit margins required for profit, thus leaving you worse off financially in the end.
6. Plumbing and electrics including kitchen sockets, kitchen lighting, kitchen extractor fans, kitchen hob or oven should all be included in the kitchen installation costs.
8. If kitchen appliances are being fitted into new kitchen units then installers will carry out kitchen installation.
10. When sourcing your suppliers it's always advisable to get at least three quotations from reputable companies whom you view as trustworthy and reliable not only for their offer of the lowest prices
Other tips for bringing kitchen installation costs down include considering the following:

• Buy affordable MFC units
• Buy ex-display or second-hand kitchen cabinets from places like eBay
• Customise standard kitchen units
• Replace doors and handles only (this can either add value in its own right due it being unique)

How long does it take to fit a kitchen?

A typical kitchen installation job takes 3-5 days depending on how complicated your design is. It's important that when hiring someone they have previous work under their belt because if not then there could potentially be more delays during installation. The most difficult part about fitting out an entire floor space so keep this into consideration.

Builders usually take around 2 weeks before starting any jobs therefore giving them ample time beforehand which gives people peace of mind. In addition, it pays off by getting accurate quotes back at once. You must ensure written contracts are signed.

Some things might come up in an installation. The first step is repairing any damage done during preparation or inspection. Typically decorating is also involved - painting walls and woodwork/furniture etc., while fitting tiles on floors would look even better after being stained nicely by professional cleaners.

Drawing kitchen plans is a crucial stage in kitchen installation. The kitchen area needs to allow for safe movement around the kitchen by placing appliances, sinks, cooking stations and preparation areas at places where they can comfortably be used.

Lighting needs should also be considered - there are options available that help lighting the kitchen without requiring additional wiring or electricity costs, but it's important to do your research before committing.

Kitchen-fitting companies usually provide you with standard designs but these are only suggested layouts to get an idea of how kitchen features fit together. If you need professional assistance to come up with ideas for better kitchen layout go ahead and ask them about their services.
Kitchens are usually installed using walls which are adjustable if needed or kitchen cabinets which are also adjustable.

Kitchen installation is most common with kitchen-fitting companies that have kitchen showrooms near you. This enables you to experience kitchen fitting in your own home and help you decide if it's for you.

The kitchen design needs careful planning considering the kitchen size, number of appliances needed, location of kitchen utensils, storage space etc. Kitchen fitters usually assist with this part of the building process too so make sure they are able to provide plans or blueprints for your kitchen layout before committing to their services.
