SHAKER KITCHEN CONT .
What is the process for installing a bespoke kitchen ?
The design process plans for a seamless installation and clients see their rendered designs before the kitchens are made . It is important that the kitchen is fitted into a fully finished room ; all electrical and plumbing work completed , range ovens in place and connected , plastered and painted walls , flooring finished – from wall to wall . Ventilation is an area that needs to be considered before the room is finished as there may be only one external wall and if the extractor needs to be vented instead of using a recirculating kit , it will have to go there .
The kitchen cabinetry is the final part of a kitchen installation .
Did you encounter any problems with this project ?
Collins Bespoke ’ s designers and project managers spend a lot of time focused on the planning processes , so clients are presented with detailed and accurate proposals of their kitchen projects . Because of this , most projects run smoothly . Offham Road ’ s client had an experienced and reputable builder and they both managed the project well . Given that a renovation or refurbishment project juggles many trades , there always must be room for movement and adjustments .
The kitchen installation usually happens last once the room is finished . Of course , this can be tricky for Collins Bespoke ’ s installers : fitting bespoke cabinetry to newly painted walls and on newly tiled floors requires a lot of care . However , their installers are experienced and professional . And , if a mishap does happen , they are trained and skilled craftsmen , after all , and can always fix it .
