At Kit Stone we have tried to break down the cost of our fitted kitchens into the cost of its component parts, so all you are paying for is the raw material.

Our cabinets are all hand made, from solid wood and an 18mm marine ply, they have a rigid frame and the doors hang on butt hinges within a framed opening, draws soft close on Blum runners and to finish each piece is hand painted…you can’t get much better than that. Within our sector of the market there are many companies selling a comparable product and the raw material cost of the cabinetry will be broadly similar. However, with us, you will only pay for the cabinetry, our average fitted kitchen sale price is £9000, not the £30,000 plus that many companies start at.

It is our aim with our fitted kitchens to enable our customers to end up with a fitted kitchen that looks £30,000 but has only cost a third of that…how do we do this?
 
-You have had to seek us out, you won’t have seen us advertising on double page spreads in all the glossies, which the customer is ultimately paying for.

-Our customers visit us in our quiet rural location, not in Knightsbridge.

-You won’t be visited by a silver tongued salesman in a top of the range car to measure up

-We will not fit your kitchen, but will recommend fitters and some customers have fitted their kitchen themselves

-You will have to work with us a few more steps of the way…

The way we typically work is for you to send us your architect’s drawings or detailed measurements that you have taken yourself. We will, if pushed, visit your home, but this will be charged for separately.

We will then work with you, listening to your requirements and wishes, to design a fitted kitchen that perfectly fits your space. You can do this remotely or plan to visit our showroom for an hour’s appointment. Once we start the designs for you we will charge you an ‘intent deposit’ which is fully refundable against your eventual fitted kitchen order.

Once these designs have been finalized all you will be charged for is the component cabinets in your design and the delivery charge, all totally transparent.

You then have three options for fitting your kitchen, which, due to the fact that every cabinet is a solid framed piece of furniture, is not a daunting task. The first option is for you to use one of our recommended fitters, the second is for you to source your own and the third, which many customers have done, is to fit themselves. Our fitted kitchens are often going into extensions or complete house renovations, so many customers find it is not a problem to get their builders to fit as their last job.

We will be there to help you along the way with advice and designs, but we won’t be there to answer your every whim… but then we are only charging you for the cabinets…

Once your kitchen is fitted it will look a million dollars…and it can be your little secret that it hasn’t…
