Now Let’s take a look at the different types

How To Look After Your Wooden Worktops Wooden worktops look great, but because they’re made from a natural material, they can get worn and damaged. Manufacturers do a good job of slowing down this wear-and-tear through the manufacturing process (known as “finger jointing”) but you can do your part, too, by following these tips for healthy wooden worktops. Real Wood Woktops - How to Maintain Them Tip #1: Firstly, the best way to have your wooden worktops last is to make sure you buy quality. Not all hardwood worktops are equal - in fact the difference can be surprising. Quality wood will age well and cheap wood won’t. In fact, it’ll probably go downhill after a couple of years. Tip #2: The other key to getting off on the right foot is to ensure the worktops are correctly fitted. Water is a wooden worktop’s enemy so a professional

How Kitchen Dreams Can Turn Into Kitchen Nightmares You might think that planning a new kitchen is an easy task, but if you’re not careful, things can go wrong and if they do, it can lead to wasted time, lost money and a whole lot of stress and exasperation! Let’s take a look at three common mistakes

Thinking About A New Kitchen? Don’t Know Where To Start? With so many things to think about, it can be hard to know what to look for in your new kitchen. Here are 5 things to consider. No 1: For most people, budget will be the first consideration. A new kitchen can cost anywhere from few hundred pounds to top of the range hand made kitchens at Fifty thousand pounds and above.  While “more expensive” usually means “better”, it can also mean “unnecessary”. A good kitchen company will help you choose the units, work surfaces, fittings and appliances that will suit your budget and give you the best quality and value for your money. No 2: Another restriction is going to be the size of the room. With a smaller kitchen to work with, you may have to give up the idea of a kitchen table and go

The Flip Down TV Whether it’s an LCD with high definition or a waterproof flip down entertainment center with built in freeview channels. You can bet everyone in the house is going to love the flip down TV. The beauty of this little baby is that you can get to watch Corrie while making a nice cuppa coffee without harming the aesthetics of the kitchen. This is because, unlike the typical kitchen portable, the flip-down is folded away under the bottom of your wall units virtually taking up no space. So you get none of the TV clutter, while at the same time, if you want to watch a cookery programme, the news, a DVD or even listen to the radio it’s right there waiting to be watched. There are many variations available and you can get them waterproof, with dvd players  or even ones that let you dock your i-pod. Just

Kitchen Gadget - The Instant Hot Water Tap Waiting for the kettle to boil could soon become a thing of the past thanks to this kitchen gizmo that produces instant boiling water. The instant hot water tap is plumbed into the mains water and also requires electrical power. It stores hot drinking water like a small, but highly-efficient, urn. Typically they are installed under or above the sink, hot water is dispensed through a normal looking tap or faucet. The result is a supply of hot or warm water that can be used at any time without having to boil water first - therefore speeding up numerous kitchen tasks. It’s particularly suited for busy environments such as offices and staff rooms – where “time is money” – but it’s also a very useful kitchen gadget in the home. Cooking pot noodles will be faster because you don’t need to boil

Is Your “Guaranteed” Kitchen Really Guaranteed? You want to be delighted with your new kitchen. You might picture yourself, with a nice cup of tea or coffee, enjoying looking over your fantastic new kitchen but what happens if things go wrong? Maybe the kitchen doors are squint, or the sink is leaking, or the fridge door doesn’t close properly. No problem

Avoid the Pitfalls - Understand The Difference Between An Estimate and a Written Quote There are really only 3 things you need to know: No1: An estimate is exactly that: it’s a rough guide to what you can expect to pay. What you’ll end up paying can be very different. A written quote is a fixed price – it’s exactly what you’ll pay. No2: With an estimate, if the work takes longer than the kitchen company expected, you pay more than the estimate. If it takes less time than they expected, you’ll probably not pay less than the estimate. No3: Companies that give estimates have good reason to quote on the low side. It helps them get the job and, if they estimate too low, you pay the difference. At My Beautiful Kitchen, we give out written quotations. We think it’s fairer for the customers. However, it can go horribly wrong

How the state of the economy can leave you with a kitchen nightmare… With the economy in trouble, many housebuilders have stopped building houses. This means a lot of joiners, painters, plumbers, plasterers etc. all now scratching around for work. How does that affect you and your kitchen? Some of these out of work tradesman have decided they can make a buck fitting kitchens (yes, even some of the painters). These guys aren’t bothered about customer satisfaction, repeat business or doing things properly. For them, it’s all about getting their next meal and staying afloat for a couple of years until the housing market starts to pick up again. “Kitchens supplied and fitted for £495” One of the advantages of not having to care about quality or customer service is that you can cut corners and use the savings to lower your prices. I’ve even seen the following on a local lamppost: 

The Kitchen Sale That Ends Every Week "Kitchen Sale Glasgow - Offer Must End Tomorrow”  - This Isn’t What It Seems  - You’re given a quote for a new kitchen. It’s quite a good offer, but you want to think it over. The salesman realises this, leans forward and says “Unfortunately, the 50% off sale ends this weekend, you need to buy now to get this price.” Tick, tock. What Do You Do? Welcome to the world of high-pressure sales, where things aren’t always how they appear. Yes, the sale may end this weekend… but an identical kitchen sale in Glasgow might just start again on Monday. “Full-Price Week At Allied Carpets” It reminds me of an old joke by Ronnie Corbett about it being “full price week at Allied Carpets”. In the kitchen industry limited offers come… and come back again. So what’s the purpose of these offers? If you see a newspaper
