Why DIY Kitchens Suits Caerphilly Estate Kitchens
Most family housing in Caerphilly is post war estate building through Penyrheol, Trecenydd, Hendredenny and Lansbury Park, which means regular rooms, a driveway and usually a garage. That combination suits an online supplier like DIY Kitchens better than almost anything else we fit, because there is somewhere dry for one big delivery and the room is square enough that a plan drawn on screen has a fighting chance. The two things that catch people out here are the concrete ground floor and the boiler sitting exactly where the plan puts a tall unit.
A solid concrete floor changes what a layout can do, and no online planner knows you have one. Waste and supply pipes cannot simply drop between joists, so moving a sink or a washing machine to a different wall is done along the wall, through the plinth void or by chasing, and each of those has a different cost and a different finished look. That has to be settled before you order, because it decides whether the sink base goes where you want it or where the drainage will let it. We work it out at the survey and show you the options rather than discovering the problem once the units are already paid for.
The boiler is the other constant. In the Penyrheol and Trecenydd kitchens it usually sits mid wall, and the choice is to design around it with a boiler cupboard built from matching units and a door, or to have it relocated by a Gas Safe registered engineer, which we coordinate. Relocating gives the tidier run and it adds cost and time, so we price both and let you decide before the order goes in. On the newer estates around the edge of town the walls are plasterboard dot and dabbed onto blockwork, so wall cabinets need fixings long enough to reach the block behind rather than the board in front. The units themselves are strong, it is the wall that decides whether they stay up.
The practical advantage of a garage is that a full DIY Kitchens order can land a week or two before we start without taking over your living room. The only condition is that the garage is genuinely dry. Chipboard carcasses stood in a cold, unheated garage over a damp winter will take up moisture through the base and swell, so keep them on battens or a pallet and off the concrete. Check the delivery against your order the day it arrives, because replacements are handled between you and DIY Kitchens as the account holder and finding a shortage early is what stops it becoming a lost day. Once we start, a rigid kitchen goes in quickly, and you get a fixed written quote, coordinated trades, a workmanship guarantee and public liability insurance.
