We've had some snags in our kitchen fitting that have led to interesting conversations with our builders/their kitchen fitter - could anyone share their opinions on the below please:
1 - we are going to have floating engineered oak herringbone flooring with the gold foil stuff underneath. Everywhere we've read about the flooring suggests it should go down last, so the kitchen legs are sat on the concrete floor, not the wood. The floor is currently a concrete slab with self-levelling screed over the top. The kitchen fitter (and now the builders) are saying that's wrong and that the flooring needs to be down for the kitchen to go over the top. Anyone got any experience on this please?
2 - we're having IKEA kitchen carcasses with plywood doors bought from elsewhere. Due to the lead times with the plywood doors/fillers/end plates we were planning on having the fitter fit the cupboards, worktop & appliances etc... now then we could just bolt the plywood on later. The fitter is saying this isn't possible as he needs the filler panels & everything to make the corners all fit properly - the plywood place say that's the not the case & that our plan would be fine, so not really sure who to believe on that one. Obviously the plywood place want the sale but maybe the fitter is uncomfortable with IKEA? Has anyone on here done similar?
Pretty frustrating on a few levels.
