Kitchen fitting in Doncaster
The people who made your kitchen are the people who install it. That is the whole proposition, and it removes the argument that ruins most kitchen jobs.
The usual way a kitchen goes in is that one company sells it, a factory makes it, a haulier delivers it and a self-employed fitter assembles it. Four parties, and when a cabinet turns up 20mm too wide for the alcove, all four have a reason it is not their problem.
We make it and we fit it, so there is nobody to blame. If something does not fit, it comes back to the workshop and gets made again.
What a fit actually looks like
A typical kitchen, in the order it happens.
- Day one, strip outOld kitchen out, appliances disconnected, everything on the van. We sheet the route from the door and lift what flooring has to come up.
- Day two to four, first fix and carcassesAny pipework or cable that is moving gets moved, then carcasses go on the wall, levelled and scribed to whatever the wall is actually doing.
- Day four, templateOnce the units are level and set, the worktop is templated. Stone goes away to be cut and comes back about a week later.
- Day five onwards, doors and drawersDoors hung, drawers in, gaps set, handles drilled to a height that suits you rather than to a standard.
- Worktop dayStone in, sink and hob cut in, taps and waste connected, splashbacks fitted.
- Last dayAppliances in and tested, silicone, plinths and cornice, site cleared and hoovered. We take the rubbish with us.
Questions about fitting
Mostly asked while somebody is standing in a stripped-out kitchen.
Do you fit kitchens you have not made?
No. Everything we fit comes out of our own workshop.
It is not snobbery. When we make it and fit it, a cabinet that is 4mm out gets sorted on the spot by the person who cut it. When a fitter is assembling somebody else’s flat pack against somebody else’s drawing, every problem becomes an argument about whose fault it is, and you are the one standing in the middle of it.
Will you take my old kitchen away?
Yes, that is in the price. It comes out, it goes on the van and it goes to the tip.
If any of it is worth keeping, say so before we start and we will take it out carefully and leave it with you.
Do you do the plumbing and electrics?
We do the connecting up: sinks, taps, waste, and putting appliances back on existing supplies. Anything that needs a new circuit, a consumer unit change or gas work goes to a qualified spark or gas engineer, and we will co-ordinate that rather than leaving you to.
We work with the same electrician and plumber on most jobs, so it is one conversation rather than three.
What about tiling, flooring and plastering?
Not our trade, and we would rather point you at somebody good than do a mediocre job of it. We will tell you at the survey what your room needs and roughly when in the sequence it has to happen, because getting the order wrong is what makes a two-week job into a five-week one.
