Congratulations on choosing Howdens or Wren Kitchens for your new kitchen! Now, it’s essential to prepare your home properly to ensure a smooth and successful installation. Here’s a detailed guide on what you need to know to get your space ready for your dream kitchen:
Understanding the Preparation Process
Installing a new kitchen involves more than just choosing cabinets and countertops. Proper preparation ensures that everything from electrical wiring to plumbing is in place before your kitchen installation team arrives. At [Your Company Name], we specialize in comprehensive kitchen removal and preparation services tailored specifically for Howdens and Wren Kitchens.
Steps to Prepare Your Home:
1. Kitchen Cabinet Removal Service (including electrical items removal): £600
Before your new kitchen can be installed, the old one must be safely removed. Our team will dismantle and dispose of your old kitchen units and appliances, including handling electrical items according to safety regulations.
2. Skip Hire: £260
We provide a skip for the removal of all kitchen waste, ensuring your home remains tidy throughout the process. The skip stays until the installation is completed, allowing for efficient disposal of all debris and packaging.
3. Removal of Floor Tiles and Splash Backs: £250
Preparing for your new kitchen often involves removing old floor tiles and splash backs. Our skilled technicians will carefully remove these materials to ensure a clean, even surface for your new installation.
4. Floor Leveling (including screed): £330
A level floor is crucial for the proper installation of your new kitchen units. We assess and level the floor using high-quality screed to ensure a stable foundation that prevents issues down the line.
5. Electrical Preparation: Cost dependent on requirements (estimated around £400)
We handle all electrical aspects, from relocating sockets to installing new lighting fixtures. Our goal is to ensure that your kitchen space is properly wired according to the layout provided by Howdens or Wren Kitchens.
6. Plumbing and Gas Fitting: Cost dependent on requirements (estimated around £200)
Our certified plumbers and gas fitters ensure that all plumbing connections and gas lines are properly installed and compliant with safety standards. This preparation ensures your kitchen is ready for appliances like sinks, dishwashers, and gas cooktops.
7. Painting and Decorating: £400 (including contract white paint and preparation, including woodwork)
To give your new kitchen a fresh look, we offer professional painting and decorating services. We prepare the walls and woodwork, ensuring a smooth finish that complements your new kitchen design.
8. Repair to Any Damages to Walls and Ceilings: Price Upon Inspection
Throughout the preparation process, if any damages occur to walls or ceilings, we provide repair services to restore them to their original condition. This includes patching, plastering sanding, and painting as necessary.
