Southend-on-Sea & Essex
Fitting a kitchen is the part where a good design either comes together or doesn't. Units need to sit level on floors that rarely are, worktops need scribing to walls that aren't straight, and the whole thing has to line up when it's finished. Our fitters work across Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding Essex towns.
A kitchen fit is more than screwing cabinets to a wall. Here's what's involved on a typical job.
Existing units, worktops and appliances removed and taken away, with services capped off safely before anything comes out.
Walls and floors checked for level and square before the first cabinet goes in, because everything after that depends on it.
Carcasses levelled, fixed and aligned, with doors and drawers adjusted so gaps are consistent across the run.
Templated, cut and fitted, including cut-outs for sinks and hobs, with joints and edges finished properly.
Integrated appliances fitted into their housings and connected, sink and taps installed and tested.
End panels, plinths, cornice, pelmet and trims fitted, handles fitted, everything adjusted and the space left clean.
Kitchen fitting
Plenty of people buy their kitchen from a national supplier and then need someone to fit it. That's a job we're happy to take on.
We'll fit kitchens supplied by the main high street and trade retailers. Send over your plan and unit list and we'll tell you what the fitting will involve and what it'll cost, before you commit to anything.
One thing worth knowing: when we fit someone else's kitchen, we're responsible for the fitting, not the contents of the boxes. If units arrive damaged, short or wrong, that's between you and your supplier. We'll flag anything we spot as early as we can so it can be sorted before it holds the job up.
Most kitchen installations need a plumber and an electrician at some point, whether that's moving a sink, adding sockets or connecting appliances. We work with trades we use regularly and coordinate them around the fitting schedule, so you're not chasing separate contractors or working out who's supposed to turn up when.
A straightforward replacement - same layout, no structural changes - usually takes 7-10 days on site. Jobs that involve moving services, changing the layout or new flooring run longer, typically 12-15 days.
We'll give you a schedule with the quote, so you know which days you'll be without a kitchen and when you'll have it back.
Fitting costs depend on the size of the kitchen, how much needs stripping out, and whether services are moving. We quote per job rather than working to a standard rate, so the figure you get reflects what's actually involved rather than an average.
Send over your plans, or let us come and look at the space, and we'll put a written quote together.
We're based in Southend and fit kitchens across the surrounding Essex towns, including Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff-on-Sea, Thorpe Bay, Shoeburyness, Rochford, Hockley, Rayleigh, Benfleet, Hadleigh and Canvey Island.
