our tips for selecting the right kitchen installer

By ordering an affordable DIY kaboodle kitchen, you’ve already saved yourself heaps and are well on the way to achieving a designer look for less.

While the kaboodle range was designed to be DIY friendly, you can also opt to have a professional tradesperson take care of installation for you. And when you choose an installer, you want to rest assured you’ve made the right choice.

If you’re replacing an old kitchen, you’ll need to ensure it’s safely removed before installation of your new kitchen can begin. You can outsource the removal too, but if you’re doing this part yourself, check out our how to guide to removing your old kitchen responsibly. You will still need a qualified tradesperson to take care of all electrical and plumbing work.

Now installation can begin! You can ask your local Bunnings Kitchen Expert for assistance in finding installers.

To help you choose the right kitchen installer, we’ve collated a list of questions to ask potential installers;

• Are they licensed and insured? Can they provide proof?

• How long have they been working in this trade?

• Do they have any certifications, awards, or affiliations relevant to their trade.

• How many kaboodle kitchens have they installed in the past?

• Can they provide references or examples of past projects similar to your project?
