Fitted Bedrooms & Replacement Kitchen and Bedroom Doors
Introduction
Thinking of purchasing a new fitted bedroom? With so many possibilities, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Understanding your options and budget is essential. This guide, written by an experienced bedroom fitter, will help navigate your decision-making process.
Understanding Your Options
There are two main types of bedroom installations:
1. Freestanding & Kit Furniture:
- Composed of components like boxes, doors, and accessories.
- Typically attached to the wall for stability.
- Available from retailers like Ikea and MFI.
- Offers interesting designs at a lower cost.
- Requires DIY skills for assembly, if purchased in kit form.
- Generally mass-produced, so quality may vary.
2. Fully Fitted Bedrooms:
- Custom-built to fit your specific space.
- Involves either replacing old setups or switching doors and accessories.
- Offers a seamless look, tailored to your walls and ceiling.
- Prices range from £500 to £1,000, based on choices and quantity.
Caution and Considerations
- Removing Old Fittings: Be cautious when removing old fitted furniture (such as Victorian timber wardrobes), as this can cause damage. Professionals should handle this task to avoid additional costs like plastering and repairs.
- Cost Factors:
- Basic fitted bedrooms start around £1,500 and can increase based on materials and finishes.
- Solid timber is pricier, while melamine and vinyl are more economical.
- Enhanced finishes, like French polish, add to costs due to material and labor intensity.
Choosing the Right Construction
The typical construction for fitted bedrooms includes:
1. Front Frame Face-Fixed System:
- Attached from floor to ceiling.
- Custom-fit to accommodate irregular walls and ceilings.
- Requires additional backing, so confirm its inclusion.
- Often used by brands like Sharps, known for high-quality craftsmanship.
2. Box and Slim Frame System:
- Pre-assembled boxes delivered for quick on-site assembly.
- Fastened together with minimal gaps, using fillers.
- Generally quicker to install.
Questions to Ask Your Installer
- Quality Assurance: Request to view recent installations to gauge quality.
- Installation Time: Clarify how long the process will take.
- Workshop Visits: Inspect the workshop, not just the showroom, for real insights.
- Experience: Inquire about the number of jobs handled weekly.
- Installation Methods: Ask about construction systems and backing inclusion.
Dealing with Companies
- Avoid Hard Sells: Be cautious of companies requiring both partners’ presence for a meeting?"it may indicate a push for on-the-spot sales.
- Subcontractor Use: Ensure the company employs trained, in-house fitters, rather than unreliable subcontractors.
Final Thoughts
Reputable companies commonly require a small deposit, with final payment upon satisfaction. Choose a provider with a track record of quality and professionalism to ensure a successful installation.
