Any good sources for Kitchen Installers

Vishaal_shah10

Hello, We are thinking about replacing our kitchen after 20 years. We need a good kitchen installer, who can do the full works - kitchen removal, floor, electrics, plumbing, tiling, and installation. Most of the big kitchen companies offer installation service, but dont cover all the aspects. Any one have any idea how to source a good fitter other than purely word of mouth and recommendation? Any independent review sites or alternative sources? Thanks

Word of mouth is the best source of recommendations. I would not use independent review sites as they are often compromised such that the reviews as not independent. 

The best alternative option I have found is to pick companies as random, but check them out. Ask to speak to previous customers. Ask to see their insurance (and be careful of anyone who doesn't have professional indemnity insurance as only this sort of insurance covers them for things they build rather than assemble). Look them up on Companies House and look at their accounts. Check how long they have been in business. Look for reviews for them, and for similar sounding companies to see if they have changed their name at all; take good reviews with a pinch of salt, but also try to read between the lines on bad reviews. Sometime good companies get bad reviews from bad customers who have tried to cheat the company.
