The Haydown Kitchen Journey: What to Expect When Ordering Your Dream Kitchen

Haydown Kitchens guides you through a comprehensive, client-focused and incredibly smooth process to bring your dream kitchen to life. Our commitment to exceptional customer service means you'll experience a fluid, transparent and highly personal journey at every stage. Understanding these meticulously planned steps will help you prepare for each phase.

1.     Initial Consultation & Visioning: Your journey begins with a detailed, one-on-one discussion. This can take place at our inviting Stockbridge showroom or, whatever works best for you, we can visit you at your home. This is where you share your vision, specific needs, style, materials and budget for your new kitchen. We'll provide a comprehensive overview of our design process, timelines and discuss transparent pricing for our services, clarifying what's included and any potential additional costs. We'll also candidly discuss what's feasible within your budget and timeline, managing expectations from the outset.

2.     Collaborative Design & Refinement: Our expert designers then meticulously translate your ideas into detailed, realistic CAD drawings and often 3D renders. You'll actively participate, reviewing and refining every aspect from the precise layout to the intricate details of internal storage. This is a collaborative phase where your feedback is crucial in ensuring the final design aligns perfectly with your vision and requirements. We'll also provide you with valuable resources like kitchen planning guides to help inform your decisions.

3.     Manufacturing & Pre-Installation Coordination: Once your bespoke kitchen design is finalised, the careful manufacturing process begins. All furniture, premium worktops and integrated appliances are meticulously ordered and crafted to the highest standards. During this phase, we coordinate closely with you and, if you have ongoing building work, with your builder or site manager. We do not coordinate directly with local authorities or structural engineers; these are typically managed by the client or their appointed builder if structural alterations are part of the project.

4.     Site Preparation & Expert Installation: The structural readiness of your kitchen space is paramount for a smooth, efficient and ultimately flawless installation of your Haydown Kitchen.

• Clearing the Space: Ensure the old kitchen is completely cleared out and removed according to the agreed timeline. This includes all old kitchen appliances, existing cabinetry and any old flooring being replaced. Please note: If we are simply replacing an old kitchen, our fitter will remove the existing kitchen and appliances. If you have a builder undertaking other works, they may have already removed the old kitchen.
• Utilities Check: Our installation team requires safe access to and precise knowledge of your existing utility points, including electricity, gas and plumbing within the kitchen. Ensure these connections are marked and accessible. While it’s ideal for all preparatory work to be completed in advance so that the fitter can carry out a “dry fit” of the kitchen, our fitters are skilled in addressing necessary utility adjustments on-site. Where relevant, our fitters will engage their own certified electricians, Gas Safe registered engineers, or plumbers to carry out essential work.
• Wall Readiness: The walls where your new kitchen cabinetry will be installed should be sound, clean and free from any major imperfections or dampness. Any necessary plastering, remedial work, or painting for the kitchen walls should be completed well in advance to allow ample drying time, providing a pristine canvas.
• Clear Access: Ensure clear, unobstructed access from your home's entrance to the kitchen area for our installation team. This includes pathways, stairwells and doorways, especially for larger kitchen items like island units. Protect any existing flooring or valuable possessions in the access route. Our expert fitters then install your new kitchen with unparalleled precision and meticulous care. This phase typically spans 7 to 14 days, transforming your kitchen space into a stunning reality.

5.     Post-Installation Support & Ongoing Satisfaction: Witnessing your kitchen transform into a stunning, functional Haydown Kitchen is incredibly rewarding. Throughout the installation, our team and the fitter will be your main points of contact, ensuring clear, personal communication and keeping you fully involved and informed. Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns; we are always here to help, personally and promptly. Should minor, unexpected adjustments be needed, our experienced team adeptly finds elegant, practical solutions, addressing challenges with expertise and a personal commitment to your satisfaction. Even after your magnificent new kitchen installation is complete, the Haydown Kitchens team remains readily available to provide ongoing support and ensure your absolute satisfaction. We'll follow up to ensure you are delighted with the results and welcome any feedback.
