Kitchen fitting in Luton, Stopsley, Leagrave and Bushmead. Full fit or fit-only, worktops and plumbing, with electrics by a qualified electrician. Fixed written quotes.
A kitchen fit is six trades in a fortnight, and what separates a good job from a bad one is whether they arrive in the right order. Luton has Victorian terraces, interwar semis and post-war estates in quantity, and all three throw up different problems at the same stage.
The post-war houses on estates such as Lewsey Farm and Marsh Farm often have small kitchens where the boiler, a meter cupboard and the back door all compete for the same wall. Fitting a new kitchen there is as much about working around those fixed points as about the units, so they are measured and planned first.
A straight replacement is usually a week to ten days, plus a gap for stone worktop template and fabrication. An opened-up room or a moved layout takes longer, and we give you a day-by-day plan rather than a vague fortnight.
They are never square, which is normal and manageable. It means more scribing and packing, and it is why a fitter who only works from the plan leaves gaps at the ends of runs. It is time, not trouble.
Yes. Bring us the plan before you order though: the commonest problem with a self-bought kitchen is a unit that cannot physically go where the plan puts it.
Often, in a purpose-made housing with the clearances the manufacturer requires. It must stay reachable for servicing, so the unit is designed around it rather than boxed in tightly.
Yes. The meter stays accessible for readings and emergencies, usually behind a removable panel or inside a unit with a door. Moving a gas meter is arranged with the gas supplier, not the kitchen fitter.
