B&Q installation tip.

inspect

B&Q grade their installers from 1 to 4. Grade 1’s the worst grade 4’s the best. Always ask you kitchen designer for a grade 4 installer. You may have to wait a while for him/her but it will be worth the wait. Your kitchen installation will run smoothly and apart from any product issues, will be finished on the first attempt. I’m sure other companies grade their installers, if they don’t they’ll still be able to advise on who’s worth waiting for.;)

Grade 4 installers are usually booked three months in advance so make sure you allow for this when planning your installation. Sometimes customers are their own worst enemy by insisting that the installation is carried out ASAP. Of course the big sheds will oblige and give you the next available fitter, which is usually one of the worst.:rolleyes:

Inpsect you have just proved my whole point that you pontifacted about in another thread just aimed to promote your own site. You are a Troll.
If B&Q have the NEED to grade their installers and grade 1 is the worst.... WHY THE HELL DO THEY EMPLOY THEM? So dear readers of this cloumn, take a look at the other thread he dug up from a year ago and make up your own mind.

Ha, what an outburst from woody.:rotfl:

My friend, I have absolutely nothing to hide. I didn’t realise that the thread was over a year old until you pointed it out:D ; I came across it purely by chance via a Google search earlier this evening. But don’t you think the thread is still as relevant as ever?

I know nothing about you woody apart form the two posts from you this evening. Firstly I have no reason to assume that you are nothing but a top class tradesman and that your abilities as a carpenter are second to none. I’m deeply sorry if my posts offended you in any way; it is never my intention to offend anyone at anytime and I apologise if my posts have offended anyone else.

My reference to other trades quoting for kitchen installations was purely to highlight the fact that you would have to obtain quotes from additional trades to compare to a fully installed kitchen.

I appreciate that it makes good reading for others but is there any real need to be so derogatory towards me? Troll? Tacky website? Ulterior motives? And you doubt my qualifications? :mad: :rotfl:

You may find it hard to believe but yes I am that qualified. It took along time, a lot of money and a lot of hard work. If you don’t believe me look up inspect on the Corgi, NIECIEC and Water Board Approved websites. If you want further proof I’ll email you my pass certificates.;)

If I wanted to promote my kitchen fitter website I would have put the link on my post. As for the tacky inspect website, well, that’s just two holding pages, the website is under construction. Didn’t you read that? It’s in big letters across the front. I put the link in my profile, this is allowed isn’t it?:o

My motives? Well I am working on a website that will be beneficial for the public, fitters and if it’s a success myself. But I haven’t pushed it, just mentioned it. In fact you’ve made more of it than me.

You mentioned MFI? I didn’t. I was responding to a B&Q thread. There are hardly any good fitters working for MFI now. The good ones left a long time ago, that’s why they’re desperate to recruit, when did you say they were in touch?;)

You fit several kitchens a year? Well I fit several kitchens a month and have been doing so for fifteen years. Who would you think is more qualified on the subject? I think we are equally qualified.:beer:

Why each to your own trade? A kitchen installation requires multiple trades to complete, surely it would be more efficient for a multi trade person to install? And as a fully qualified electrician (not just part P) I have to advise you that you are not allowed to employ other electricians to test your work. When work is carried out in a kitchen it must be carried out by an approved part P person that self certifies their work.

The reason that B&Q has grade one installers is because that is the nature of the business. Supply and demand – If the customer demands it, they will supply it. That was the reason for my post, to make people aware.

I hope I have cleared the air and we can be friends. We are on the same side.:beer:


Ps

Sorry for the long post but I felt I had no choice.:o

Well, I don't know or care who's right, wrong or indifferent here, but what a reply 'inspect'!

And a very respectful one too :beer:

Although I can see Woody's point about why have different grade fitters - I am a B&Q newbie so I might just have to have a chat with my kitchen colleagues and suss this one out - seems a bit daft!

Then again, IIRC hairdressers do a similar thing - cheaper for a junior stylist and all that.....
