Trade Advice and Project Guides
Practical guidance for people who buy kitchens for a living. How to schedule a kitchen, how to measure it, what to send for a quotation, and how to make a specification hold across a whole development. Written by the team that prices these projects every day.

How to Prepare a Kitchen Unit Schedule for a Supplier
What goes on a schedule, in what order, and the six items almost always left off. The single fastest way to get an accurate quotation.
Read the guide →A Landlord's Guide to Choosing a Durable Rental Kitchen
What actually fails in a rental kitchen, the finishes that hide wear, and why standard cabinet widths matter more than they look.
Read the guide →What to Include When Requesting a Trade Kitchen Quote
The eight things every quote request needs, and why “how much is a kitchen?” cannot be answered without them.
Read the guide →Guides by subject
The trade cluster is organised around the four things that decide whether a kitchen project runs smoothly: getting the specification right, getting it priced, getting it delivered, and repeating it reliably.
Specifying
Unit schedules, measuring, door styles, worktop selection and specification checklists for designers and developers.
Trade kitchen units →Pricing and quoting
What to send, how to compare two quotations line by line, and where specifications get quietly substituted.
Submit a project →Delivery and site
Rigid versus flat-pack, phased releases against a build programme, and checking a delivery properly on arrival.
Delivery information →Repeating a specification
Standardising kitchens across plots and properties so the second one is quicker to buy than the first.
Multi-unit projects →Publishing schedule

Guidance for your type of project
Reading is not the same as pricing
When you are ready, send the project. A drawing, a schedule, a set of measurements or another supplier's quotation is enough to get a real number back. We aim to reply within one working day.
