WHY CHOOSE AN INDEPENDENT RETAILER
Buying a new kitchen is a considerable investment in your home, so you want to be sure that you’re getting the very best product, quality and service for your money.
With so many different companies competing for your custom, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. And with so much choice in where to shop, from the big DIY sheds to online-only, high-street brands and independent retailers, here at Ridgeway Interiors, we’re here to explain why independents are the way to go…
You’ll get experience and attention to detail.
You get more than just a new kitchen by visiting an independent kitchen retailer. You get the designer’s experience, skill, time and passion for what they do. They will give you a personal service and something unique created just for you.
For your local independent retailer, designing and selling kitchens isn’t just a nine to five. It’s something they have trained to do, and for them, it’s more than just a sales pitch. They enjoy creating kitchens that change customer’s homes and lives for the better. It’s their mission to ensure you come away with a kitchen that works for you and your family and changes how you use the space for the better.
You’ll also get continuity and peace of mind.
When you buy from an independent retailer, you’re working with someone who owns their own business. It’s their name and reputation on the line, so they are going to do everything they can to ensure you are 100% happy.
When it comes to the installation, most independents use the same reputable fitters, and here at Ridgeway Interiors, we go the extra mile by employing our own, committed to us and our customers. With DIY sheds, online retailers and high-street brands, your installation will most likely be outsourced to someone else, or you may need to find your own. You won’t need to worry about anything with us, as we will organise it all.
Another benefit is that independents can also offer excellent aftercare, so if any issues do occur after fitting, you have a name and a face to speak with in person.
Independents create the very best kitchen for your budget.
Many homeowners start their kitchen journey with a budget in mind, and while it’s all too easy to simply focus on price, there’s a lot more to good kitchen design than that.
Sure, you can head straight into a well-known high street retailer and buy cheap and cheerful ‘off the shelf’, but by talking with an experienced and knowledgeable independent designer, you will have a kitchen that works on all levels – price, quality, design and function. We can discuss where it’s important to spend and where you can save, ensuring the design fits your budget without compromising on any of the key elements.
A good example is in our latest blog, where one of our clients explored one of the big sheds after getting a quote from us. Long story short, they came back to us to fit their kitchen, and we’re far off in price either – yet miles apart in quality, knowledge and service.
When parting with your hard-earned cash for a kitchen, you’ll probably have for the next 20+ years; having the job taken seriously and dealt with meticulously is vital.
When working with an independent retailer like us, your kitchen is made to order for you and your specific requirements; it isn’t flatpack, off the line in the factory, and covered with holes for all eventualities. Your design isn’t shoe-holed to fit what’s already created, which means the sky is the limit when creating precisely what you want.
