Carpenters / Fitters in Kent Area? (For Kitchen & other jobs)

HopefulHirer

Can anyone recommend Carpenters / Fitters in the Kent area?



I'm looking to have a new Kitchen fitted and I also have other carpentry jobs that need doing including other rooms.

I am considering supply and fit or also perhaps myself purchasing the units and furnishings from somewhere like diy-kitchens dot com



If you've used any good Carpenters / Fitters in the Kent area please let me know.



Thanks in advance for any recommendations for the Kent area.

Any recommendations?

https://www.mybuilder.com or https://www.myhammer.com are your best bets. Advertise your job there and award it to a reputed tradesman unless someone refers a decent tradesman to you.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.


Have you used these sites to find trades people?


After reading your suggestion I had a look on here to see what people said on 'MyBuilder', mixed reviews in this thread:

Yes, I have found handymen in my area using mybuilder.

It's just another place to find tradesmen, not a silver bullet to solve all the issues related to tradesmen. They verify before listing any one and customer reviews help us make an informed decision - which I think is far better than taking a friend's word for it.

Having said that, tradesmen are tradesmen - when the job gets tricky some have the courtesy to say things up front but some don't and that's when all the problems start. While mybuilder can help you find a tradesman, it is next down to you how you manage him. Also, make sure you award the job through the website so that they are always kept in the loop.

All the best.

Thanks again for the advice and input.
I am still looking, so far I've had a few quotes, but the various outfits have not followed up, which doesn't make you feel confident in hiring them.
