Preparation for Template and Installation
Delivery & Site Obligations
Part of the process when manufacturing and installing your work surfaces is to “template” your kitchen.
This finalises all of the measurements and specifications required to fulfil your requirements. To complete this successfully, we require preparation from you prior to templating:
Template Visit Requirements
- Attendance: During the visit, either yourself or an authorised representative must be present to discuss, agree, and sign off all information. This can take up to 3 hours; please allow sufficient time.
- Parking: Where specific parking conditions apply, a valid permit or similar must be provided free of charge.
- Disconnection: All sinks and appliances must be disconnected and work surfaces removed prior to Templating. This allows measurements to be taken right back to the walls.
- Temporary Surfaces: We do not fit temporary work surfaces. You must arrange these yourself if you require a working kitchen between template and installation.
- Walls & Structure: All alterations to walls or structure must be completed before the visit. However, tiling or plastering should be completed after installation.
- Cabinets: All floor cabinets must be levelled and secured to walls in final positions. All side/end panels must be fitted.
- Support (Spans): Any gaps between cabinets greater than 600mm must have wall supports (50mm x 25mm softwood) screwed to the back wall, level with cabinet tops.
- Support (Corners): Support is also required where there is unsupported wall space greater than 600mm behind longer cabinets or Corner Carousel units.
- Appliances: If you have 2 or more floor-standing appliances next to each other, a side/end panel must be fitted between them to support the work surface.
- Finalised Specs: Positions of Sinks, Taps, Hobs, and other appliances must be finalised and installation instructions made available for the Templater.
IMPORTANT: If the requirements above are not complete upon arrival, the visit will be aborted and a standard aborted visit charge will be applied.
If you have any questions regarding the above preparation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
