Before the room is cleared
Confirm the approved drawings, appliances and finishes. Agree who coordinates the job, how your home will be protected and where deliveries can be stored.
From a plan to a working room
Make space for a smooth fit.
A well-planned installation is a sequence of people, decisions and checks. Agree that sequence with the professionals working in your home.
During the installation
Review the order of room preparation, specialist services, cabinetry, worktop templating and finishing. Ask how delays and design changes will be communicated.
At handover
Walk through the fitted kitchen together. Check drawers, doors and agreed details, record remaining items, and collect care information and applicable product documents.
What the planner’s £1,600 means
It is a fictional flat installation allowance used so you can compare collections on the same basis. It does not describe a real contractor’s scope or promise a completed installation price.
The planner excludes structural work, plumbing/electrical alterations, delivery, appliances and a professional survey. A real quotation must define these responsibilities and costs.
