Autumn Kitchen Renovations: Why September Is the Best Time to Start
Autumn Kitchen Renovations: Why September Is the Best Time to Start
Every year we see a familiar pattern. Enquiries spike in January as people make New Year resolutions about their homes, and again in November as families rush to have kitchens ready before Christmas. September, quietly, is often the smarter month to actually begin.
Beating the Christmas Rush
If your goal is a finished kitchen in time for hosting family over the festive period, starting in September gives a realistic buffer for surveys, fabrication and fitting without the pressure of a tight December deadline. Workshop schedules also tend to be less stretched than in the run-up to Christmas.
Better Availability for Site Surveys
Summer holidays are behind us, which usually means diaries free up for both homeowners and fitters. It is easier to book a site survey at a time that suits everyone, and easier for us to give an accurate estimate of fabrication and fitting dates.
Settling In Before Winter Entertaining
A worktop fitted in September or October has time to bed in, be properly sealed if it is granite, and become part of daily life before the busiest cooking and hosting season of the year arrives.
Planning Ahead for Extensions and Larger Projects
If your renovation involves a wider extension rather than a straightforward worktop swap, autumn is also a sensible time to bring your worktop supplier into the conversation early, so that measurements and material choices are locked in well before final fit-out.
