Tips before you start

Keep using the old kitchen until fitting day if you can, and ask for its removal and disposal to be priced on the same quote.
Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Richmond, North Yorkshire address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in North Yorkshire; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
If you chose stone worktops, the stone supplier templates and fits them after the base units are fixed, usually one to two weeks later.

All of them. Our North Yorkshire coverage takes in the whole of Richmond, North Yorkshire, including the DL10 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Darlington. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

What does fit-only kitchen fitting not include?

It does not include stone worktops, new electrical circuits, moved plumbing, gas connections, tiling, flooring or plastering. Stone is templated and fitted by the stone supplier or fabricator once the base units are fixed. Fit only covers the labour for units, doors, panels, plinths and laminate worktops, with connections to the points already in place. Any of the extras can be added as separate lines on the same written quote.

What happens if parts of my kitchen are missing or damaged?

Missing or damaged parts are the supplier's to replace. We check the delivery against your plan and delivery note before fitting starts and tell you straight away if anything is short, broken or wrong, so you can raise it with the supplier while we re-plan the order of work. Units that do not depend on the missing part can often still go in, and sealed boxes make any claim simpler.

Do I need to order anything extra for a fit-only job?

Often, yes. Retail plans regularly leave out filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, legs and plinth clips, worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste. On the survey we go through your order line by line and list anything missing, so it can be ordered before the fit rather than halting it halfway through.
