Kitchen planning advice

Kitchen fitter vs kitchen designer: which do you need?

Understand when you need installation-only support and when a full kitchen design, supply and install service is a better fit.

The simple difference

A kitchen fitter focuses on installing the room accurately. A kitchen designer focuses on layout, storage, materials and choices. Many homeowners need a joined-up route that covers both.

When installation-only is enough

If you already have a supplier, checked measurements and final product choices, a careful installation route may be right.

When full project support helps

If you are still comparing layouts, storage, worktops, lighting or the order of works, a design/supply/install route reduces gaps between decisions.

Questions to ask before choosing

  • Who checks measurements before ordering?
  • Who coordinates worktops, services and deliveries?
  • How are snags and late changes recorded?
  • What happens at final handover?

Not sure which you need?

Use the first conversation to map the right level of support.
