With so many kitchen retailers vying for your business, you’ll often find advertisements boasting ‘cheap‘ products or Sale pricing. But when you’re seeking a new kitchen, it’s crucial to understand what these prices truly represent. More often than not, the prices flaunted are mere estimates of fitting costs, only confirmed after a contract is signed, or they might be for the supply-only aspect of the kitchen. Sometimes, the price might include the basic cost to install, leaving you to juggle other subcontractors and manage the project yourself.
Unfortunately, transparency is rare in this industry. Many companies lure customers with an attractive headline price, only to reveal additional costs or leave the customer to handle extra work once the contract is signed. This approach can lead to confusion, frustration, and unexpected expenses. Many also require full payment upfront, something we never do
Nicholas Hythe stands apart in this landscape, committed to a transparent and fair way of trading. We provide a fully costed binding quote that is valid for 30 days, covering all the products and services you’ve requested. This way, you’ll know the total cost before you sign your contract.
When comparing specifications with other larger kitchen companies, we are rarely beaten on price. And with a Nicholas Hythe quote, you’ll never stumble upon hidden surprises or extra costs unless the project’s scope changes. Our quote will detail exactly what’s included, and offer insights into different choices that could save you money. And rest assured, there are no temporary ‘sale’ prices – just the best price for the kitchen you want..
Our ethical and straightforward approach – we even tell you why fitted kitchens are expensive – has earned us the distinction of being one of being one of only a dozen kitchen design and installation companies nationally – and the only one in Cambridgeshire – to be approved by Trading Standards via their ‘Buy With Confidence’ scheme. We believe in laying all the cards on the table, allowing our clients to see the entire cost, and even offering the ability to compare items that could be sourced elsewhere to check our competitiveness.
While the total cost may appear higher than what you might find elsewhere, with Nicholas Hythe, you’ll know the true pricing of your project from the outset. You won’t be left discovering costs piecemeal, or burdened with the task of project managing contractors. We provide an honest, comprehensive service that prioritises your needs, preferences, and peace of mind.
We care passionately about every kitchen we design because we want it to look great for many years to come, so we have produced a series of tips and advice about caring for your kitchen in our Advice and Inspiration section of the website.
Glass upstands and splashbacks are becoming a more and more popular choice for clients rather than tiles. By choosing a really striking colour glass you can create a real wow factor if it is complemented with feature lighting.
We are proud of the kitchens we design and fit. But don’t take our word for it, visit our customer review section on this website and see what other people say about our service delivery. We think you will be impressed.
