aAsk a Tradesman

had a kitchen designer in and he said we didn't need an extractor fan is that true?

What are the reasons for the traditional approach to fitting a kitchen sink under a window?

Are there any reasons not to fit one elsewhere or is it just convention?

How much does it cost on average for a days labour for a fitter to put in a flat pack kitchen?? Also how much should i be charged if the man has quoted me that it will take four days??? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry I got info wrong - the Units will need to be replaced altogether rather than just the doors renewing. But new units will need to fit in same places around the already existing pipework/electric sockets etc.

I am in the process of fitting a cooke & lewis kitchen at my own property. I have a straight 3m length worktop to fit (laminate) and also a smaller approx 2m length which has a curved end unit.

I have specified square edge 50mm work tops and need to try and get the curve to be perfect - is a router the best bet for this?

Thanks for all the tips! LOL @ chainsaw!

We are just moving house and are going to install a brand new kitchen inlcuding applicance, and dont really know where to start. I know alot of the bigger companies do the whole design thing, and i assume installation - but i am guessing this will be costly. Is there a better and more cost effective way?

My builder is refurbishing my house as I got flooded 7 months ago. I've asked for invoices for my kitchen from Magnet but he has told me that he can not get them. I've contacted Magnet in regards and ask if they could give me costs of how much he paid for this at trade price but again they informed that "unfortunately I have escalated this to my line manager and he said under no circumstances can they forward me an invoice"

I've also invited them out to visit my house to look at how there tradesmen work with there produsts and at the beginning on the week he agreed to come out and now he is sayin " it will not seen kindly to the customer (builder) if Magnet attend my house"

Question is -
- is there a law or something put into place for a customer to see invoices
- am I not the customer? Even tho the builder bought products with my insurance money?
