How long does a kitchen refit take?

A standard kitchen refit typically takes 2–3 weeks. If structural changes, new plumbing runs, or electrical work are involved, allow 3–4 weeks. A simple like-for-like replacement of units and worktops can be done in 5–7 days.

Should I hire a kitchen fitter or a builder?

A kitchen fitter specialises in unit installation, worktop fitting, and finishing. A builder is needed if you are knocking down walls, moving drainage, or altering the structure. Many kitchen projects require both.

What is the best flooring for a bathroom?

Porcelain or ceramic tiles are the most durable and waterproof option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is a popular budget-friendly alternative. Avoid laminate or engineered wood in wet areas unless they are specifically rated as waterproof.

Do I need a plumber for a new kitchen?

Yes, if you are moving or adding a sink, dishwasher, or washing machine connection. Most kitchen fitters can handle basic plumbing, but moving waste pipes or hot water feeds often requires a qualified plumber.

EC covers areas including London. Compare tiler quotes with clearer local context for travel, access, materials, parking, and property constraints.

What to include in your tiler quote request

Lock down the room layout, product schedule, and who is supplying fixtures before comparing quotes.
Ask whether strip-out, waste disposal, plumbing moves, electrics, and decoration are included separately.
Confirm templating, lead times, and snagging visits so the timeline is realistic, not sales-led.
Make sure the quote states who coordinates specialist trades and who signs off any regulated work.
Confirm the postcode district, parking restrictions, access route, and preferred working hours.

Red flags before hiring

A headline price that omits strip-out, waste, plumbing, electrics, or making good.
No product schedule, finish standard, or snagging plan for visible fixtures and surfaces.
Promises to coordinate all trades without naming who signs off regulated work.
Short timelines that ignore templating, drying times, or delivery lead times.
Quotes that ignore access, waste, permits, or travel time across the EC area.
