“Is fitting worktops something I would be able to do myself?” Question of the Week 29.04.17

“Is fitting worktops something I would be able to do myself?”

Worktop Express can customise any worktop prior to delivery, but fitting worktops to revamp your kitchen doesn’t necessarily dictate the need for a professional fitter – as we explain in our response to Ahmad’s question below. Ahmad is from Loughborough and wants to know if he can fit his worktops despite having limited DIY experience.

QUESTION:

“I’m about to start renovating our kitchen and wanted to know if you believe fitting worktops is possible for someone with relatively basic DIY experience.”

ANSWER:

Hi Ahmad,

Fitting kitchen worktops is one of the easier ways to renovate your kitchen, so we are very glad to point you in the right direction and help get your revamp underway.

If you consider yourself handy with the appropriate equipment, our worktops can be fitted by anyone with previous DIY or carpentry experience. Though you may be happy to install them, the downside of cutting and customising any worktops yourself is the costs involved in hiring or purchasing an appropriate saw, router and other necessary tools.

You can find out more about installing worktops yourself by reading our ‘Installing Our Wooden Work Surfaces’ nutshell information guide. You’ll also find other helpful information – as well as answers to other customer questions – by browsing through our list of information guides.

To save time and money, and to ensure your new worktops are finished to a very high standard, Worktop Express offers a bespoke cutting service for both wooden worktops and laminate worktops.

Our fabrication team can make a variety of bespoke customisations to any of the worktops in our collection, such as: cutting worktops to size; making apertures for sinks and hobs; or making butt joints to enable you to join two worktops together easily once on site.

You can find out more about the full range of services available on the following pages:

Laminate Worktop Cutting Service

Further details on the bespoke service we provide can be found in our ‘7 Reasons to Choose Our Fabrication Service’ information guide.

We think you’ll find that our bespoke cutting services make fitting worktops much easier as they’re ready for installation as soon as they have been delivered by our 2Man delivery service. If you have any further queries about fitting worktops, don’t hesitate to contact us once again.

Best regards,

Ben @ Worktop Express
