Kitchen fitting isn't a licensed trade, so the fitter you choose matters. The best carry public liability insurance, offer a written workmanship guarantee, and use Part P registered electricians and Gas Safe or qualified plumbers for the connections — always check who does the electrical and plumbing work and that it's certified.
How to choose a good kitchen fitter in Gateshead
- Check they're registered with a scheme such as KBSA or TrustMark or Which? Trusted Traders and can certify the work.
- Ask for proof of public liability insurance.
- Get the quote in writing, with what's included and excluded.
- Read recent reviews and ask for local references.
- Don't automatically pick the cheapest — compare what each quote actually covers.
