If, like a lot of people in Kidlington, you are intending to buy your fitted kitchen from a large chain such as B&Q, Homebase or Wickes, you will find that they offer a kitchen fitting service. This is naturally an extra cost which is added to the price for the kitchen. If you already had a price in mind, you might find that the charges they present you with is close to double what you anticipated, and that might not even include electrics and plumbing. This is because they'll give about 50 percent of this to the actual fitters and keep half as profit for themselves.

Now, there are a couple of benefits to be gained from using these (contracted out) installation services, the main one being there are some guarantees included, and you can go back to the company if there are problems. Nonetheless, you can reduce your installation bill by 50 percent by booking such services yourself, and you might even end up using the exact same fitting service because someone like Wickes commonly use local fitters from around Kidlington in any case. Locally based Kidlington kitchen installers still have to preserve their good reputations, and will usually be glad to remedy any problems, so not only will you save money, but you'll in addition avoid the requirement to wade through the notoriously sluggish and "clunky" complaints process of a large national DIY chain!

When purchasing kitchens from some of these larger chains, you should take into account that certain problems quite frequently occur, and some firms are notorious for this. Things such as delivering the wrong goods, not supplying everything in your order and having fixtures, fittings and parts missing from individual cartons, are what they are most renowned for. In just about all fitted kitchens from DIY stores, the cabinets will be delivered in flat pack format, so they have to be put together on-site, it is vital that all the boxes are checked on delivery, as any missing items can cause significant delays to the installation.

Thanks to all of these issues, and others I won't mention here, many kitchen fitters in Kidlington are not keen to work for such diy chains, and are not even keen to fit kitchens which have been supplied by them. Therefore, before progressing too far ask around and get some feedback on these kitchens. While acknowledging that, some of the fitted kitchens from these sources are of reasonable quality and very good value, and when they are installed properly will last for a good many years.
