Kitchen Fitters Cotgrave

Kitchen Fitters Cotgrave Nottinghamshire (NG12): For many folks in Cotgrave the most popular room in their house is the kitchen, primarily because this is a natural meeting area within the home. It is a room where all the family can feel relaxed, and over the years lots of incredible memories will be attached to your kitchen. Obviously not everybody in Cotgrave has a kitchen where this type of personal interaction is feasible, therefore transforming your kitchen into a space that the entire household can enjoy and get pleasure from could be a life changing experience.

An experienced and reliable kitchen fitter in Cotgrave can offer valuable advice and guidance on the best features, layout and materials to suit your particular preferences and needs, and can also deal with all the technical aspects such as plumbing, electrical and ventilation systems to ensure that your dream kitchen is not only aesthetically appealing but also practical and safe for daily use.

Unless you're a carpenter, or are a very good DIYer indeed, it isn't likely you'll be capable of installing your own kitchen. Therefore you will need to find a reliable and skilled kitchen fitter in Cotgrave, so that you will end up with the kitchen of your dreams.

If you are buying your fitted kitchen from a company such as B&Q, Homebase or Wickes, you'll most likely be offered a fitting service, and naturally at an added cost. If you previously have a price in your head for installation, you might find that the price they supply you with is roughly twice as much as you estimated, and that might not even include plumbing and electrics. The actual installers will only receive about 50% of this and the remainder will be extra profit of the company involved.

So, there are a couple of benefits to be gained from using these pre-booked fitting services, the primary one being there are some guarantees included, and you are able to go back to the original company if there are any serious issues. On the other hand, because local installers from the Cotgrave area will probably be used by a company like Homebase, there is no reason why you can't cut 50 per cent off the bill and book such services directly. Local Cotgrave kitchen fitters still have to uphold their reputations, and will usually be willing to resolve any problems, so not only will you save yourself some cash, but you'll in addition avoid the need to trudge through the notoriously "clunky" and sluggish complaints procedure of a huge national DIY chain!

It also pays to bear in mind that when purchasing fitted kitchens from some of these larger chains, problems quite often crop up. Things like delivering incorrect packages, not including everything in your order and having parts, fixtures and fittings missing from individual cartons, are what they're most renowned for. In nearly all kitchens bought from DIY stores, the units will be delivered in flat-pack cartons, so they have to be put together on-site, it's vital that everything is meticulously checked on delivery, since missing items can cause massive delays to the installation process.

Thanks to all these problems, and others I won't mention here, lots of kitchen installers in Cotgrave don't like to work for such companies, and aren't even that keen to fit kitchens supplied by them. Therefore, in the first instance ask around and get some feedback on these kitchens. With all that said, these kitchens will remain extremely popular, since they are great value and of acceptable quality (so long as all the components arrive!), when fitted properly they should be just as long lasting as any comparable (MDF or chipboard) kitchen.

An endorsement by friends, family or neighbours is a great place to start when you are searching for a kitchen fitter, but this needn't be the only factor affecting your choice. Something like 80 percent of homeowners in Cotgrave would favour a word of mouth recommendation over any other form of endorsement or review, you should therefore make the most of this whenever you can. It is still wise to obtain a minimum of three different quotes from different companies in the area, even when somebody you know has highly recommended a specific kitchen fitter.

Many kitchen fitters in Cotgrave will provide a free home survey where they'll precisely measure your space, discuss layouts, colour schemes, materials and cabinet designs, and draft a plan for your kitchen. By working from this plan and based on the choices you have made, they will be in a position to give you an approximate quotation for your new kitchen, and a time scale for the work to be done. If you feel confident about measuring yourself, you can jot down your own layout and pop along to a nearby Wickes or Homebase, where they will work everything out on their software program, if you wish to go down that route.

With loads of carpentry experience and know-how to draw on, most competent kitchen fitters in Cotgrave will have done some type of apprenticeship scheme through their employer, to give them the necessary skills for this work. They'll be adept and confident in the use of a wide selection of hand and power tools, and will duly use these to remove your tired and dreary old kitchen and exchange it for a brand new one that you can enjoy for many years.

Throughout the dismantling of your unwanted cabinets and other stuff, your kitchen installer may discover sections that require extra work. Forgotten walls and floors behind and under the old kitchen cabinets will have been hidden away for a number of years on account of the time that has elapsed since they were first put in. Some of these trouble spots might be damaged and will need to be repaired if your new kitchen is going to fit snugly in position, and your kitchen fitter will have to deal with this if the work is going to progress effectively.

Sometimes you will be lucky and find that your kitchen installer is Gas Safe Registered, meaning he may upgrade or fix gas ovens gas cooking appliances, but if he isn't then he should bring along a registered Gas Safe plumber to carry out that task for you. It is fairly likely that you will also be changing the flooring when you get your new kitchen put in. This should be a project which a seasoned kitchen installer in Cotgrave can handle without any problem and should also be able to work with whatever materials you are wanting; ceramic tiles, vinyl, wood block, stone, laminate or engineered wood.

It is always recommended that you use a professional and fully qualified electrician for all electrical installations in your new kitchen, and it is unusual if some sort of electrical work isn't required, unless you're just updating "like-for-like" units. On occasion you'll come across a kitchen fitter in Cotgrave who is Part-P qualified for electrics, more often still they will "take a shot" at elementary electrical jobs, which ought to set off the alarm bells.

Because most Cotgrave kitchen installers have their qualifications in either woodworking or carpentry and joinery, they'll often be reluctant to do this kind of work, and though some will have dabbled in electrics and plumbing to broaden their abilities, they'll normally have a "sparky" at the end of the phone to do this work when needed.

Find out about this during the quotation stage, since you might have to allocate additional money for the electrics, and "sparkys" don't come cheap!

Dependant upon the layout and design of your kitchen you might need quite a lot of electrical work doing, and this is now covered by part P of the building regs. Things like light switches, extra plug sockets, lights, underfloor heating and isolation switches, may be the type of electrical work that you'll require.

A specialist kitchen fitter in Cotgrave is going to have an excellent understanding of how to make the most of the space you have available and will be clued up on all of the current kitchen related innovations and industry developments to make sure you totally rework the appearance of your existing kitchen, to achieve the best end result. You can hopefully expect to wind up with a space-saving, ultra modern kitchen that will be envied by your neighbours and friends. In actual fact, they're going to find it difficult to believe that it's the same room you began with.

Kitchen Island Installation

Installing a kitchen island is a trend that is gaining popularity in modern day kitchens. The primary function of a kitchen island is to provide extra worktop space for cooking and a communal area for visitors and members of the family.

A custom kitchen island can be designed and installed by a professional kitchen installer, tailored to the property owner's unique requirements. The kitchen installer will take into consideration the size and layout of the kitchen, as well as the desired aesthetic and functionality of the island.

Kitchen islands often include integrated appliances such as sinks and hobs, storage space in the form of drawers or cabinets, and seating areas for entertaining or dining.

In summary, kitchen installation experts are capable of designing and installing tailor-made kitchen islands with built-in appliances, storage space and seating, as well as offering electrical and plumbing services, as well as maintenance and care guidance.

What About the Kitchen Sink?

As maybe the most functional part of any kitchen in Cotgrave, you may believe that the 'design' of the sink in your kitchen is mainly immaterial. Surely all you need is a regular stainless steel basin for washing the dishes, right? Wrong! Actually, sinks come in an assortment of materials, shapes and sizes, and your chosen sink will have big practical and aesthetic ramifications for your kitchen in Cotgrave. But, what are the different types of kitchen sinks that are available, and how will they impact on the way that you use your kitchen? Here is a rundown of the kitchen sinks on the market:

Materials: Stainless steel is the most popular sink material around and with good reason. Easy to maintain, cost-effective and hard-wearing, its sleek metallic appearance fits seamlessly into just about any kitchen. If, however, you're looking for something different for your own kitchen in Cotgrave, you might wish to consider granite, which is exceptionally resistant to scuffing and chipping, and offers a contemporary aesthetic that is both understated and imposing.

If you are unable to stretch your budget to granite, though, you may be attracted to composite sinks, which are made from a combination of fillers and natural materials. Coming in at a slightly lower price, they offer a few of granite's best qualities, which makes them a good choice. Alternatively, you could go for the classic tones of a ceramic sink, which combines a high-gloss finish with a brilliant white material to produce a dramatic focal point in the kitchen.

Mounting Options: When it comes to the options for mounting, you can go for set-in, surface or under-mount sinks. Surface-mounted sinks are set into a pre-cut hole in the surface of the worktop, and offer a good all-round mounting option for many different types of worktop material. For a subtler touch, you might consider an under-mount sink, which is fitted below the worktop 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 aesthetic that works well with granite.

Styles: Although one-bowl sinks are almost ubiquitous in domestic kitchens in Cotgrave, there's much to be said for some of the alternatives. Two-bowl sinks, for instance, offer sufficient space for you to do food preparation and washing-up simultaneously, without the risk of dropping your potatoes into soapy water. Nevertheless, they do take up a fair bit of space, which means they might not be suitable for smaller kitchens in Cotgrave where space is limited.

One-and-a-half-bowl sinks offer a good compromise, providing an extra area that doesn't use too much of your available surface space. There's still much to be said, though, for large one bowl sinks, particularly if you have a dishwasher. A big single sink enables you to soak larger pans and dishes that won't easily fit in that appliance.

And there it is. A virtually endless selection of options available, meaning that you are sure to find a sink which is a great fit for your kitchen in Cotgrave.

Kitchen Cabinet Door Hinge Adjustments

One of the most commonplace problems that you can have with an existing kitchen in Cotgrave is the doors becoming wobbly or misaligned. With time, the door hinges will move around, get rocky, or even get detached altogether, no matter how professionally the kitchen was installed to begin with. To save you needing to bring in a carpenter or kitchen fitter to do this for you, it would be beneficial to figure out how to adjust these hinges yourself. The process is essentially fairly simple, once you know which of the screws to turn and in which direction to turn them. Once all the doors and hinges have been correctly adjusted, it can make a tremendous difference to the look of your kitchen. As soon as you have got the hang of it you will be able to get perfect spacings on your doors and guarantee that all of the cupboard doors close correctly and don't bang into and damaging the neighbouring doors. We've provided a YouTube video on the right of this page, which plainly explains the procedure with pictures rather than in words. So, to properly learn how to adjust and fine-tune your cabinet hinges and get your kitchen looking perfect, take a look at the video.

Floor Levelling

It may be essential to get the floor levelled before installing the cabinets when you are doing a kitchen installation, in particular if you're removing walls (pantry, broom cupboard, etc) to enlarge the kitchen area. If you're putting in underfloor heating (either water or electric), some further work on the floor will also be needed. A self-levelling screed will be satisfactory in most cases, and your kitchen fitter will have included this in the original quote (if the need for it was obvious from the start), and when necessary he will bring in a flooring specialist, or carry out the task himself.

Kitchen Installation Articles

Using the web as a resource it is of course surprisingly simple to find a host of useful ideas and information concerning kitchen layouts, kitchen flooring, kitchen lighting, galley kitchens, kitchen countertops, kitchen wall tiles, kitchen colour schemes and kitchen islands. As an example, with a brief search we located this illuminating article outlining 45 kitchen improvement concepts that will add charm to any space.
