How do John Lewis kitchens compare in price and quality to other brands?
If you are looking for a new kitchen, your first instinct may be to look for a familiar, trusted brand. In general, brands don’t come much more familiar and trusted than John Lewis, but how about for kitchens?
So, how do John Lewis kitchens compare in price and quality to other brands?
How do John Lewis kitchens compare in price and quality to the high street chains and trade-only suppliers?
The most convenient place to start your search for a new kitchen may be one of the high street chains. Alternatively, you might think about going through your local builder, who can access one of the trade-only suppliers. How do these compare to John Lewis kitchens?
You’ll get a much higher-quality and longer-lasting kitchen from John Lewis than from these places. On the other hand, you’ll also be paying considerably more, reflecting that higher quality.
How do John Lewis kitchens compare in price and quality to independent kitchen showrooms?
Another route you can take to find a new kitchen is to use one of the many independent kitchen showrooms.
Independent kitchen showrooms sell lots of different kitchen brands. Some of these are lower quality than a John Lewis kitchen, some are similar in quality & others are higher quality.
It’s a similar story for cost. Therefore, some of the ranges they sell cost less than John Lewis, some cost similar & some cost more.
The important thing to know is that, if you know the right showrooms to visit, it is possible to find kitchen units that cost up to 30% less than a John Lewis kitchen and, in our opinion, are just as good quality.
So, what does a 30% saving on the units actually equate to in pounds and pence? – Well, for a large kitchen, comprising say 25 units, a 30% saving on the units should translate into a saving of between £4,000 and £8,000.
Save on the fitting too!
Another place you’ll save money is on the fitting. John Lewis usually charge around £5,000 for fitting. In contrast, independent kitchen showrooms usually charge around £2,000. So, that’s a saving of another £3,000
So, if you add the £3,000 you could save on fitting, onto the £4,000 – £8,000 you could save on the units, overall you should be able to save somewhere between £7,000 and £11,000.
