Why We Conduct Survey Visits

During a survey visit, our in-house CAD technician will visit your home to carry out essential checks, ensuring that everything is in place for a seamless installation. But what exactly do we check—and why is this step so important?

Assessing the State of the Site

Before we proceed with handcrafting your kitchen, we need to evaluate the condition of the space. This ensures that the site is prepared for the next stage of the project and that no unexpected issues arise during installation.

Confirming First Fix Plumbing & Electrics

For a smooth installation, all plumbing and electrical work must be in the correct position. Our technician will check that everything aligns with your kitchen design, ensuring your sink, appliances, and lighting fit precisely as planned.

Checking Dimensions for a Perfect Fit

Even a slight miscalculation can impact the fit of your cabinetry. By accurately measuring the space on-site, we guarantee that your kitchen is made to the precise dimensions, eliminating any risk of gaps or misalignment.

Checking Room Squareness, Walls & Floors

Many homes have walls that aren't perfectly upright or floors that aren't level, which can affect how the cabinetry fits and functions. We carefully check the squareness of the room, ensuring that adjustments can be made if necessary to achieve a seamless installation.

Measuring Temperature & Humidity Levels

Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. To prevent warping, splitting, or misfitting cabinetry, we take precise readings to ensure the environment is suitable for your handcrafted kitchen.

A survey visit is a critical step in our process, allowing us to identify and address any potential issues before your kitchen is built. This level of precision ensures a stress-free installation and guarantees that your bespoke kitchen will fit beautifully and function perfectly for years to come.
