01
Kitchen furniture
Check the manufacturer, range, front finish, cabinet construction, internal storage, handles or rails, end panels, plinths, cornices and lighting. A quotation should reflect the actual design rather than an undefined allowance.
02
Worktops, sinks and taps
Confirm the material, thickness, edge, splashbacks, upstands, cut-outs, templating and fitting. Sinks, waste kits and taps should be identified. A boiling-water tap may also require a tank, filter, suitable cabinet space and electrical supply.
03
Appliances
Model numbers matter because products that look alike can have different functions and warranties. Check delivery, installation and disposal, along with any electrical, plumbing or ventilation changes required.
04
Installation and preparation
Ask whether removal, disposal, joinery, electrics, plumbing, plastering, flooring, decorating and final connections are included. A lower furniture price can become a higher project cost if these items are left for you to coordinate separately.
- Who removes the existing kitchen?
- Who moves or upgrades services?
- Who makes walls and floors ready?
- Who coordinates worktop templating?
- Who handles snagging and aftercare?

Compare the complete scope
At Cameron & Cameron we can provide furniture on a supply-only basis or manage the full installation. Our published average German kitchen figures cover furniture and installation of that furniture only, with worktops and appliances quoted separately once the design is agreed.
The best comparison is based on the same plan, specification and division of responsibility. If anything is described as provisional, ask what could change it and when the final figure will be known.
