What’s the easiest way to compare kitchen prices?
If we’re looking for a new kitchen, how is it possible to sort through the bewildering array of kitchen prices?
Compare kitchen prices on kitchen-compare.com
kitchen-compare.com allows you to compare kitchen prices from most of the big high street chains.
However, there are several drawer backs with Kitchen-Compare. Firstly It only covers some of the market. So, It doesn’t include trade suppliers like Howdens or Benchmarx or independent kitchen showrooms. Secondly, it only covers the bottom end of the market. This is fine if you’re looking for a cheap, low quality kitchen. However, if you’re looking for a quality kitchen that’s built to last, it won’t be of much use to you.
Compare kitchen prices through a builder
You can also get a new kitchen through a builder, who’ll use trade only suppliers. If you get quotes for kitchen prices from several builders, you can compare them with the results from Kitchen-Compare.
However, there are also drawer backs with this route. Firstly, the prices you’ll be quoted will depend largely on the builder’s mark-up, which varies enormously. This means you won’t really know what you’re comparing. Secondly, like the chains, It only covers the bottom end of the market. So, again, if you’re looking for a good quality kitchen that’s built to last, it will probably be of little use.
The other drawer back is that when you buy a kitchen from a trade only supplier via a builder, you’re buying a kitchen with little or no come back. This is because your contract is with the builder and not with the trade only supplier. Therefore, if you get a problem with the kitchen and try going back to the trade-only supplier, they’ll usually tell you to go back to your builder. However, when you go back to your builder, they’ll usually tell you that they are only responsible for the fitting, and you need to go back to the trade only supplier. This toing and froing usually goes on for some time until people eventually give up.
Compare kitchen prices at independent kitchen showrooms
To compare prices of the whole market, you’ll also need to get prices from independent kitchen showrooms too. Independent kitchen showrooms cater for both the bottom end of the market & the middle market. The kitchen’s independent kitchen showrooms sell are usually higher quality than what the chains and trade only suppliers sell. This applies to all the kitchen they sell, including their cheapest ranges. So, rather than lasting about 3-7 years, their kitchens should last more like 15-20 years.
However, again, there are several drawer backs to this route. Firstly, there are hundreds of independent kitchen showrooms who offer lots of different brands. Plus, these brands differ in terms of both price and quality.
Secondly, kitchen showrooms all work to different profit margins. So, to identify which showrooms in your area are the best value, you’d have to visit literally hundreds of showrooms which would be near on impossible.
