Choosing the Right Company: Essential Do’s and Don’ts

When selecting a company for your kitchen, home study or media wall project, keep these crucial guidelines in mind:

DO:

  • Visit physical showrooms – Experience the quality of workmanship first hand and see actual examples of the company’s installations
  • Request detailed quotations – Ensure all aspects of the project are itemised, including removal of existing fittings, installation, and finishing work
  • Verify project timelines – Establish realistic timeframes with clear milestones for design, delivery, and installation
  • Review genuine customer testimonials – Look beyond the company website for independent reviews on trusted platforms
  • Confirm aftercare services – Understand what support is available after project completion and the specifics of any guarantees offered
  • Meet your project manager – Establish a relationship with the person who will oversee your installation before committing
  • Check manufacturing partners – Quality kitchen and home furniture companies partner with established British and European manufacturers

DON’T:

  • Rush your decision – Quality installations require thorough planning; be wary of companies pushing for quick commitments
  • Accept vague quotations – Avoid companies that provide estimates with minimal detail, as this often leads to unexpected costs
  • Pay full amounts upfront – Reputable companies typically request a deposit followed by stage payments aligned with project progress
  • Ignore planning regulations – Ensure your chosen company understands and addresses any building regulations or permissions required
  • Skip the research – Never select a company without thoroughly investigating their track record and viewing previous installations
  • Overlook communication style – If a company is difficult to reach or slow to respond during the quote process, this indicates potential issues during your project
  • Focus solely on price – The cheapest quote often reflects compromises in materials, workmanship, or aftercare that become expensive long-term problems
  • Assume all designers have equal expertise – Look for specialists in your specific project type with demonstrated experience## Tailored Solutions for Every Home
