How to buy your kitchen
Your four step guide to buying the kitchen of your dreams, from measuring and planning to ordering and installation. We’ll guide you every step of the way, whether you choose to do it yourself or take advantages of our services.
1. Measure
Top tips:
- Measure in millimetres, this makes it more accurate and helps if you want to use our 3D Kitchen planner tool.
- Note the location of electrical sockets and water connections. Also mark anything that sticks out, like radiators and pipes.
