YOUR KITCHEN RENOVATION QUOTE

Kitchen renovation: what to check before accepting a quote

Two kitchen quotes can cover very different work, even when their headline descriptions look alike.

01

Supply versus installation

List units, doors, worktops and appliances by product and quantity. Confirm which are supplied by you and who checks measurements and compatibility.

02

Connected trades and finishing

Record plumbing, gas and electrical work, lighting, plastering, tiling and flooring. Make clear which finishing work or certificates are included.

03

Allowances and changes

Identify provisional sums and unselected products. Agree how substitutions, hidden damage and changes are priced and approved.

These are points to clarify, not findings about your quotation or installer. Your report is prepared from your answers; we do not inspect your written quote or property.

Turn the questions into a useful record.

Choose the report, the agreement or both for the same job.
