Together, we will create a new layout, taking your current appliances into consideration. Please note that if you intend to replace any of your current appliances with new, let the kitchen designer know at this appointment so that they can be planned into the new layout.

During the survey you will be shown samples of the choices available to you and be asked to choose from a selection of the following;

Kitchen units
Worktops
