Fit your kitchen with professional help
With the popularity of television programs such as Pimp My Ride or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, everyone seems to think that they can do just about anything. It reminds me of that one episode from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia where Dennis and the gang tried giving a certain Mexican family a home makeover, although it actually seemed like they were kidnapping and destroying their home, which, in the end, they eventually did albeit accidentally (I love that episode).
See, I love interior design and I do it with a very hands-on approach. Despite being regarded as an expert in the field by friends and acquaintances I have done interior decorating for, I cannot pretend to know everything about the home. I surely won’t attempt to fit a kitchen all by myself because there are repercussions to that act I am not quite keen on performing or living up to.
Jobs for Kitchen Fitters That You Want to Do Yourself
In order to fit your kitchen, you need to have a plan or idea of what you want your kitchen to look like. You need to have the basic tools in a tool box, as well as some special tools like battery drills, lump hammers, pipe detectors, sealant guns and marker pens to name a few. After this mini preparation, you need to take precise measurements to know where to cut, saw, attach, glue, or bolt in the parts of your cabinets and drawers that you would fit alongside your other kitchen appliances.
Fitted kitchens make everything easier
The point of a fitted kitchen is that you have everything you need in one area, so this means that your gas lining should be properly and safely routed through tubing which will go behind the countertops and drawers. This would also apply with the cords of your appliances that you have set in your fitted kitchen so that you’ll have an outlet close to your appliances. Last but not least, you need to fit the sink by redirecting the pipework to where your work station would be located.
Misconceptions About Kitchen Fitter Jobs
The truth of the matter is that there are some things you cannot do by yourself without sufficient training or experience. What they show in those reality do-it-yourself programs are montages of experts working so although it may seem easy, customization and repair or renovation actually takes time and skill. This would be all the more applicable if the task you had to do involved plumbing, electricity, gas work and even a bit of carpentry. You can now see, thus, how absurd it would be if you tried fitting your kitchen without a kitchen fitters course or any of these skills.
For me, kitchen fitting is a one-time deal because I only need to do my kitchen and no one else’s, and I don’t know about you but I don’t intend to fit kitchens on a regular basis. I also don’t want to buy power tools because I don’t need them, they’re expensive, and borrowing from friends isn’t that much of an option since I don’t know how to use them and I don’t want to return them to the owner half-destroyed. Simply put, the notion that personally fitting your kitchen would save money or is easy would be a sore misconception.

Alternatives to Commercial Kitchen Fitters
