If You Are Looking For A Kitchen Fitter, Steer Clear From Chris at KNC Home Improvements!
I’ve recently had a kitchen fitted by Chris Mcfadden at KNC Home Improvements in Corby, which although took him 3 weeks to complete, he never quite finished the work, and after a month, I’m still waiting for him to finish the job I paid him for.
There’s a few bits on the snagging list (listed below), but whenever I call him, he likes to hang up each and every time, so it’s quite evident to say, I don’t think I’ll be seeing him anytime soon.
Snagging List (pictures included for most of these)
• Plinth under sink was not cut to size, so doesn’t fit
• Plinth for corner larder unit, he drilled the holes too low, so the plinth doesn’t fit
• Door on unit doesn’t line up
• Shelves in cupboards are uneven, so wobble
• End panel has scratch (pictured) from when he pulled out the dishwasher in a strop. This was due to him not fitting the worktop correctly, instead decided to glue it to the top of the dishwasher. (yeah, I don’t know why either).
• Only half the kitchen had sealant around the edging, I think he got bored half way through.
• Utility room is 2 inches higher than the rest of the kitchen (as the floor slopes slightly, he measured against the adjacent room, not the floor.
• Corner cupboard door not even close to lining up. In total, I’ll be looking at approx. £1,000 to get this fixed by someone that is a real carpenter.
As it’s hard to find good trades people, I thought I should share my experience of one I recently used and hope no one else falls into the same trap as I did.
