A very happy New Year to all our customers and suppliers! Now that we have enjoyed another Xmas and are looking forward to the New Year why not think about changing your kitchen? This is the best time of the year to do so! Why is this so you may ask? I think the main reason is because buying a new kitchen can be a long process.
It starts with finding a supplier – Local? Showroom? Man in a Van? Independent retailer or National Chain? – the choice might seem overwhelming at first glance and when you have made your decision to choose one of these options you then need a design. Once the design has been finalised, styles are to choose – colours, worktops, appliances, sink and taps! – lots of options. Do you want a more traditional kitchen or a sleek modern design? If you are buying as a couple or family have you got conflicting styles/tastes to take into account? Some styles of kitchens can offer a happy medium between modern and traditional – modern shaker with sleek appliances – for instance.
Now all the big decisions are made the next step is to get booked in for an installation date and depending on the supplier this can range from weeks to months. Finally, the installation of your new kitchen. This usually takes weeks rather than days but it will obviously depend on what work the fitter has been contacted to do. Is he removing your existing kitchen, flooring and appliances? Has it been agreed that he is doing extra work, for instance, putting a new ceiling in and or altering the electrics to suit the design? All these things need to be taken into account during the process but by the end of the journey it might have taken three months from start to finish! The good news is that if you start the ball rolling now by the time it comes to the installation the weather will have improved, making life easier for the fitter and for you!
After all is said and and done about the above process where do we, Buywell interiors, fit into the grand scheme?
