The kitchen and bathroom are two of the most important rooms in the house and certainly see the most use.  When it comes to the time to replace them, you start looking at local kitchen installers or bathroom installers.  But how do you find the right local company?

Look at their experience

When you are looking at kitchen and bathroom fitters in Haywards Heath, for example, you want to see examples of their previous experience.  There are any number of accreditations that the different bathroom and kitchen fitters in Haywards Heath may have but the most important thing is images from projects they have completed in the past.  Look for examples of projects that are like what you have in mind, rooms that are similar to your own and the styles of kitchen or bathroom you like.

Look for a wide range of services

There are a number of different jobs and tradesmen needed for most kitchen and bathroom refits.  When you are looking at companies for the job, you will start by looking at kitchen or bathroom designers in Haywards Heath who will design a tailor-made room.  But then you will need a fitter, plumber, electrician, a plasterer, a tiler and even a decorator to finish the job.  The key then is to find a company who are bathroom or kitchen designers in Haywards Heath who also have the rest of the tradesmen needed to do the job in-house.

Make sure you are comfortable with them

It sounds strange but when you are bringing tradesmen into your home and are getting them to work on a big project, make sure you feel comfortable with them.  Often when people have had a bad experience, they talk about not feeling comfortable with the tradesmen – they didn’t explain things properly, they didn’t take care not to damage stuff around the house where possible.  Make sure you are comfortable and happy with them before you use their services.

Make sure you get detailed quotes

Before you make any decisions, make sure you get detailed quotes about what is included.  So if you are talking to bathroom fitters in Crawley, you want a detailed list of what is included in terms of fixtures, what services will be completed such as tiling or decorating and what happens to the old bathroom.  Or when you are looking at kitchen fitters in Crawley, look at whether appliances are included and fitted, what happens to the old kitchen and if decorating is included.

Make sure they know any relevant building regulations

It doesn’t hurt to have an idea about any building regulations that might apply to your project – and then be certain that the tradesmen understand these too.  Get them to run through any considerations that could affect building regulation issues and how they will deal with them.  Also, check about planning permission – normally this isn’t needed for a renovation but makes sure they know enough to confirm why it isn’t a requirement.  That way you can be confident about their knowledge and therefore, their compliance.
