Planning installation in an occupied home

Make the working area ready.

Clear the agreed surfaces

Before installation, follow the preparation instructions for your specific job. Remove everyday items from the worktops and explain any access limitations. Do not apply a new cleaner, polish or coating as a preparation step unless instructed.

Consider the finish, the edge profile and the light across your surface.

Coordinate access

Share relevant parking, lift and building work-hour requirements when scheduling. Tell us if another trade will be on site. These details help plan attendance for the agreed work and avoid unnecessary disruption.

Arrange return to use

Ask for product-specific instructions about use and cleaning after installation. Do not guess a waiting period from an unrelated film or online discussion. Keep the final care information somewhere accessible to everyone who uses the kitchen.
