Common questions
Can a glass splashback go behind a gas hob?
Yes, usually, as long as the glass is toughened and the hob maker's instructions allow it. Toughened glass handles heat far better than ordinary glass, but a gas hob must still keep the clearances set out in its installation instructions, so we check those before ordering. The panel is measured after the worktops are fitted and made with cut-outs for sockets, because it cannot be cut once toughened.
Should kitchen flooring go down before or after the units?
It depends on the floor. Tiles are often laid first, or at least run under the appliance spaces, so a dishwasher or fridge can be pulled out without catching on the edge. Floating floors such as click LVT or engineered boards usually go down after the units, up to the plinth line, so they are not trapped under heavy fixed cabinets. We follow the flooring maker's instructions.
Should a kitchen be plastered before or after the units are fitted?
Before. Plastering is done after strip-out and first-fix electrics and plumbing, so new cables and pipes are chased in and covered, and before the base and wall units go in. Units then fix to a flat, finished surface, and the decorator only needs to cut in around them at the end. Patch repairs after fitting are possible but harder to hide.
