Kitchen fitters in Durham: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners:

You're usually responsible for organising kitchen renovations. Be sure to:

1. Check if your kitchen layout changes need planning permission or building control
2. Use a checked and reviewed kitchen fitter for peace of mind
3. Get a written quote and confirm whether subcontractors (gas, electrics) are included

Renters:

Big kitchen upgrades are usually your landlord’s responsibility. But if you're tackling minor updates (like cupboard handles or flat-pack units):

1. Always get written permission first
2. Use a qualified kitchen installer, especially if electrics are involved
3. Keep receipts and records for your landlord
