What’s in the guide

  1. How to measure a room

    A diagram shows where to hold the tape measure to catch out-of-square walls, plumb lines and the position of services.

  2. Questions to ask a workshop

    A list of questions that tell a complete quote apart from one where extra costs turn up after you’ve signed.

  3. Budget, and what changes it

    Which decisions push the price up the most, and where you can save without losing durability.

  4. Material decisions

    Fronts and worktops compared on durability, care and price.

  5. Timing

    When to book the survey and design, so fitting lines up with the end of the renovation.

  6. Checklist before you sign

    Points to check in the contract: price, date, payments, warranty and the rules for making changes.
