Supply vs Supply-and-Fit vs Fit-Only — Kitchen Fitting Cost Models
There are three broad approaches to pricing a kitchen project in Stonehaven. Supply-and-fit: the fitter sources units, worktops, and appliances and includes the cost in the quote — convenient, but you pay a margin. Fit-only: you purchase everything, the fitter charges labour only — you reduce cost but take on supply risk. Hybrid: you source units and appliances, the fitter supplies installation materials (adhesive, fixings, sealant) — a common middle ground.
Discuss the model with any Kitchen Fitters you're considering. Each has implications for your total cost and where risk sits if something goes wrong.
Kitchen Materials — What to Choose and Why
Rigid-built (or pre-assembled) units arrive at your home already assembled, with the carcass glued and screwed in the factory. They are stronger, have tighter joints, and are generally quicker to install. Flat-pack units are assembled on-site — they can be equally well-made at the upper end of the market, but quality varies significantly. For a kitchen expected to last fifteen or more years, rigid-built units generally perform better.
Porcelain or ceramic tiles, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and engineered wood are the most popular kitchen floor choices. Porcelain is the most durable and water-resistant. LVT is comfortable underfoot, warm, and very easy to maintain. Engineered wood gives a natural feel but requires careful maintenance around water. Your Kitchen Fitters can advise on the right choice for your household.
Handleless kitchens — using J-pull profiles or push-to-open mechanisms — require greater precision during installation, as there is no handle to distract from minor misalignment. They are not harder to fit for an experienced Kitchen Fitters, but the standard of accuracy required is higher. They are also generally easier to keep clean than handled kitchens.
Popular kitchen splash-back options include ceramic or porcelain tiles, glass splash-backs (printed or plain), stainless steel, solid surface panels, and composite materials. Each has different aesthetic, maintenance, and cost profiles. Tiles are the most popular choice; glass splash-backs offer a seamless, easy-clean surface; stainless steel is durable and practical for professional-style kitchens.
