What Is Kitchen Inspection?

Cabinets and kitchens inspection is an engineering visit after the kitchen cabinets and wardrobes are installed, in which our engineers check that the cabinets are secure and level, the doors, drawers and hinges, and the installation of the countertop and sink.

The inspection matters because kitchen defects appear with use: a poorly fixed upper cabinet, crooked doors, an uneven countertop, or a leak under the sink that damages the wood. Fixing them after handover takes time and money.
