Here is another example of somebody who accidentally hired a “cowboy kitchen fitter” to put in some appliances and base cabinets. They clearly didn’t know what they were doing in any way, shape or form! We were contacted and when we viewed the job the dishwasher fell out of it’s slot! In every way it was fit wrong including the integrated door. The plumbing pipework should have been moved as the dishwasher was too deep to fit and the dishwasher was hooked up to the HOT water and not the cold as it should have been. The cowboy actually cut into the hot water pipe to create the improper hookup! All the base units were installed wrong and NONE were level, plumb or square! We had to loosen, level, make plumb, adjust, jiggle and manouver every cabinet and appliance in order to make everything mate up. The countertop is now level from end-to-end and the appliances work without leaking. We did find electrical problems so will have to return shortly. The cowboy fitter attached all three appliances and an existing boiler to a new spur (using flexi cord!) which he ran from an existing spur which was already running from a previous spur. Eveytime the washer starts up the MCB blows! We’ll extend the ring main when we find it and test all of our work and then issue a certificate for our work.
“Don’t hire cowboys!” Check there credentials with CORGI, NIC EIC, or better yet get references! If there price seems stupidly low or high just say no. The three cowboy fitters didn’t have a clue about plumbing, electrics, kitchen fitting or even the basic skills required level and set a single cabinet.
