Unless you're a carpenter and joiner, or are an above average do-it-yourselfer, it's unlikely you'll be able to fit your own kitchen. Therefore you will need to look for an experienced and skilled kitchen fitter in Chelmsford, so that you can get the kitchen of your dreams.

Kitchen Fitters Chelmsford Essex

If you're purchasing your fitted kitchen from a company like Homebase, B&Q or Wickes, you'll likely be offered an installation service, and obviously at an additional cost. This can often be something of a shock (particularly if you already had a price in your head), because there is a substantial mark-up on this service, and it will probably be twice as much as you were envisioning. There is a very good reason behind this, and that's because the actual fitters will receive fifty percent of this fee, whilst the company put the other 50 percent into their already overflowing bank account.

So, these sub-contracted installation services do carry some benefits, but not sufficient to justify such a hike in the price. They are big companies, so you will likely be compensated if there are any issues, and the installation does certainly come with a set of guarantees. Having said that, as someone like B&Q will likely be using local kitchen fitters from near to Chelmsford anyway, there's no real reason why you can't book these services directly, and cut the bill in half. Furthermore, in the event that any issues arise during or after the installation process, any reputable Chelmsford kitchen installer will provide an aftercare service, and they will probably be more easily approachable than having to go through the notoriously snail-paced and "clunky" complaints system of a massive company.

It also pays to keep in mind that when purchasing kitchens from some of these big chains, issues are likely to crop up. Things like not including everything you've ordered, having parts, fittings and fixtures missing from individual cartons and delivering the wrong stuff, are what they are most renowned for. Virtually all DIY store kitchens come flat-packed, so they have to be put together in-situ. You'll need to meticulously check all the packages on delivery (not as easy as it sounds), and follow up on any omissions, given that installation can be delayed for days or even weeks when items are omitted, and that could be costly and inconvenient.

It's been quite widely reported that on account of the issues with these products, a lot of kitchen fitters in Chelmsford don't even like to work for these chains. In which case have a potential kitchen fitter booked in before ordering. While acknowledging that, some of the fitted kitchens from such suppliers are of reasonable quality and usually very good value, and when fitted properly and looked after will last for a fair few years.

If you are confident about measuring the kitchen yourself, you can draw up your own design and pop along to a nearby B&Q or Wickes, where they'll figure everything out on a software program, if you prefer to go down that route.

To furnish them with the necessary skills for this kind of work, most professional kitchen installers in Chelmsford will have done some kind of apprenticeship scheme with their employer, and will as a rule have plenty of joinery and carpentry experience and expertise to draw on. Installing your new kitchen in a professional and assured manner, they'll be adept in the safe use of both power and hand tools.

What About the Kitchen Sink?

As probably the most practical element of any kitchen in Chelmsford, you might imagine that the 'design' of the sink in your kitchen is basically irrelevant. Surely all that is needed is an average stainless steel sink for washing the dishes, right? Wrong! Actually, sinks come in a mind-boggling range of shapes, sizes and materials, and your choice of sink could have large practical and aesthetic ramifications for your kitchen in Chelmsford. But, what are the different kinds of kitchen sinks available, and how will they impact on the way in which you use your kitchen? The following is a rundown of the sinks on the market:

Kitchen Sinks Chelmsford

Styles: Although one-bowl sinks are the norm in domestic kitchens in Chelmsford, there's a lot to be said for a couple of the alternatives. Two-bowl sinks, for example, provide enough space for you to do washing-up and food preparation at the same time, without any risk of dropping your potatoes into soapy water. Nonetheless, they do take up a lot of space, which means they might not be suitable for smaller kitchens in Chelmsford where space is limited.

One-and-a-half-bowl sinks offer an excellent compromise, giving you an extra area that doesn't eat up too much of your available surface space. There's still a lot to be said, though, for large one bowl sinks, particularly if you have a dishwasher. One large single sink allows you to soak bigger dishes and pans that won't fit into that appliance.

Materials: Stainless steel is the most popular sink material around and with good reason. Cost-effective, hard-wearing and easy to maintain, the sleek metallic effect fits seamlessly into virtually any kitchen. If, however, you're looking for something different for your own kitchen in Chelmsford, you may want to think about granite, which is exceptionally resistant to chipping and scuffing, and offers a contemporary aesthetic that's both imposing and understated.

If you're not able to stretch your budget to granite, though, you might be interested in composite sinks, which are made from a blend of natural materials and fillers. Available at a marginally lower price, they provide a few of the best qualities of granite, making them a good choice. On the other hand, you might go with the classic tones of ceramic sinks, which combine a brilliant white material with a high-gloss finish to produce a stunning focal point in your kitchen.

Mounting Options: In relation to mounting options, you can go with under-mount, surface or set-in sinks. Surface-mounted sinks are dropped into a pre-cut hole in the surface of the worktop, and offer a decent all-round mounting option for many different kinds of worktop material. For a subtler touch, you might think about an under-mount sink, which is fitted below the countertop and generates no rim between sink and worktop surface. This makes the area around the sink a lot easier to clean. Finally, set-in sinks are built into the worktop and are made from the same material, which offers a seamless look that works beautifully with granite.

And that's it. A more or less endless variety of available choices, meaning that you are sure to find a sink that is a good fit for your home in Chelmsford.
