Unless you are a carpenter, or are an extremely good DIYer, it is unlikely you will be capable of fitting your own kitchen. Therefore you will need to look for a reputable and competent kitchen fitter in Potters Bar, so that you will end up with the kitchen you've always dreamed of.

If, like many householders in Potters Bar, you are planning to buy your fitted kitchen from a superstore chain like Homebase, Wickes or B&Q, you will find that they offer a kitchen installation service as well. This is naturally an additional cost that will be tagged onto the price of the kitchen units and appliances. There may be a sudden intake of breath when you are given the price for this, since it will probably be close to twice as much as you were hoping to pay. There's a logical reason for this, and that's because the actual fitters will get 50 percent of this money, while the company bung the other half into their already bulging bank account.
Now, there are some benefits to be gained from using these pre-booked installation services, the main one being there are some guarantees included, and you can contact the company if there are issues. Having said that, as a company like Wickes will probably be using local kitchen installers from the Potters Bar area, there's no real reason why you can't book these services directly, and save yourself half the money. Locally based Potters Bar kitchen installers still have to preserve their reputations, and will usually be glad to remedy any problems, so you can not only save money, but additionally avoid the requirement to wade through the painfuly snail-paced and "clunky" complaints system of a massive national DIY chain!
It also pays to bear in mind that when buying new kitchens from some of these larger companies, problems quite frequently occur. They're renowned for not supplying everything you have ordered, having parts, fittings and fixtures missing from individual cartons and delivering the wrong goods. It's quite normal for kitchen units to arrive in flat pack format, particularly when ordered from DIY chains, and to save costly and inconvenient hold-ups to the installation, you will need to carefully check that everything is correct on delivery, and that each package is there and complete with the correct components.
Thanks to all these problems, and others I won't mention here, lots of kitchen fitters in Potters Bar don't like to work for such chains, and aren't even that happy about fitting kitchens that have been supplied by them. So, in the first instance ask around and get some feedback on these kitchens. With all that said, these kitchens will remain extremely popular, because they are great value for money and of acceptable quality (as long as all the parts show up!), when installed correctly they'll last for as long as any other (chipboard or composite) kitchen.

An endorsement by friends or family is a great place to begin when you're looking for a kitchen fitter, but this needn't be the sole factor affecting your choice. Research has indicated that around eighty percent of householders in Potters Bar who are searching for a tradesman or service, prefer a word of mouth recommendation above any form of endorsement. From your shortlist of companies, make an effort to obtain at least two or three estimates.
A free home survey will usually be offered by most decent kitchen fitters in Potters Bar, during which they will precisely measure the available space, go over room layouts, colour schemes, cabinet designs and materials. They'll then draw up a plan of your new kitchen, in line with what was discussed. From this carefully produced plan, they will be able to give you an accurate price quote, according to your choice of kitchen. If you're comfortable about measuring yourself, you can jot down your own design and take it into a nearby B&Q or Wickes, where they'll work everything out on a software program, if you prefer to go down that route.
Most capable kitchen fitters in Potters Bar will usually have completed some sort of apprenticeship program with their employers, and should have loads of carpentry and joinery experience, which is vital for work such as this. Skilled in the use of both electric and hand tools, they are able to carefully dismantle your existing kitchen in Potters Bar and exchange it with your new design efficiently, professionally and quickly.
Your chosen kitchen fitter could quite easily come upon sections which require more work during the removal of your existing kitchen cupboards. Because of the timescale involving the replacement of kitchens, the floors and walls under and behind the units can be neglected. There might be sections which your kitchen fitter needs to put right to be sure your new kitchen will survive until you want to alter the design all over again.

Sometimes you will be lucky and find that your kitchen installer is Gas Safe Registered, meaning he can swap or repair gas ovens gas cooking appliances, but if he isn't then he should bring along a Gas Safe registered plumber to do that work for you. You may also be planning to change old flooring surfaces in the kitchen space which is common when new kitchens are installed. Although you may plan to use a flooring specialist for this, your Potters Bar kitchen fitter will be quite able to replace ceramic tiles, engineered wood, wood block, stone, laminate or vinyl flooring as an element of the installation.

In most cases, kitchen installation companies or kitchen fitters in Potters Bar will have a "sparky" who works alongside them, when electrical work is needed, given that kitchen fitters have normally trained as carpenters & joiners, and will simply have dabbled in basic electrics and plumbing to broaden their abilities.
You ought to find out about the electrical side of things when the on-site survey and quotation is being prepared, because "sparkys" certainly don't come cheap and you will have to put aside extra money for the electrics.
Depending on the layout and design of your kitchen you could very well need a heck of a lot of electrical work doing, and for some time now this has come under part P of the building regs. Such things as lighting, isolation switches, new sockets, light switches and heating, may be the sort of electrical work that you will need.
