Frequently Asked Questions

Trade Kitchen Supplier supplies complete kitchens through a design and quotation service. You can browse our kitchen ranges online, then submit your measurements, plans or an existing kitchen design to obtain a written quotation. The service is suitable for homeowners as well as kitchen fitters, builders, landlords, developers and other property professionals. Whether you are starting from scratch or comparing trade kitchens for a project, the process is built around kitchen design and a clear kitchen quotation rather than an online checkout.

Yes. The service is not limited to professional kitchen fitters or building companies. Homeowners can browse the ranges, choose styles and colours, provide their room information and request a complete kitchen quotation in exactly the same way. If you already have a kitchen design from elsewhere, you can upload that too. Start with our free kitchen design enquiry and send us whatever you have — measurements, a sketch, or a full plan.

The process is straightforward. Choose a kitchen range if you already know the style you want, then start the kitchen enquiry and provide your measurements, plans or project information. You can upload existing designs or quotations if you have them, then submit the enquiry. Our team reviews the information and prepares the appropriate next step or a written quotation. You do not need to know every detail before making an enquiry — send what you have and we will help fill in the gaps. Start your kitchen enquiry.

Yes. If you already have a kitchen plan from another kitchen company, a designer or an installer, you can submit it as part of your enquiry. Useful documents include floor plans, cabinet schedules, measurements, design drawings, PDF quotations and room plans. An existing kitchen plan makes it much easier for us to understand the required layout and products, so your kitchen quotation can be prepared against a real specification rather than guesswork. Upload the documents with your enquiry and we will take it from there.

Yes. An existing quotation can be uploaded with your enquiry, which allows our team to understand the proposed kitchen layout, cabinetry and other requirements. Every quotation is assessed on the actual specification and products required, so the more detail the document contains, the more accurate the comparison. We do not offer guaranteed price matching or guaranteed savings — we quote on what your kitchen genuinely needs. Upload your existing kitchen quote.

Helpful information includes room dimensions, door and window positions, any existing kitchen plans, your desired kitchen range, a preferred colour, appliance requirements, photographs of the space, drawings, and a competitor quotation if relevant. Do not worry if you do not have every detail yet — the enquiry process is designed to gather the required information step by step, and we can ask for anything else we need once we have reviewed what you send.

Yes. The enquiry process supports supporting documents, so you can attach plans, drawings, existing designs, measurements and quotation documents alongside your details. Sending everything together helps us review your project in one pass and come back with meaningful next steps rather than a string of follow-up questions.

Your enquiry is received with all the information and documents you supplied. The requirements are then reviewed, and if further measurements or information are required, we will contact you to ask. From there the next stage is to progress your kitchen specification and quotation. Because every kitchen is different, we do not quote fixed response times — but a real person looks at every enquiry.

Yes. If you do not already have a completed kitchen plan, you can start through our kitchen design enquiry process. Provide as much information as you have about the room — dimensions, the kitchen style you prefer, and any practical requirements — and we will use that to shape the kitchen planning and prepare a complete kitchen quotation. Start your kitchen design enquiry.

Yes. You can submit plans and measurements for compact rooms, galley kitchens, utility areas and other spaces where a standard layout may not be suitable. Reduced-depth cabinetry is one potential consideration for tight spaces, but the right answer depends on your room, so include your dimensions — and photographs where useful — with your enquiry. See our page on reduced depth kitchen units or start an enquiry.

Start with the big decisions: traditional or modern, Shaker or slab, handled or handleless, and how much door detailing you want. Then think about colour, the size of your room and the overall look you are aiming for. Our kitchen directory lets you filter by style and shortlist a few designs side by side. You do not need a final decision before enquiring — many customers send their shortlist and ask for guidance as part of the quotation.

The catalogue covers Shaker kitchens, modern kitchens, Outline kitchens with integrated handle details, true handleless kitchens, and the Trade Kitchen Supplier collection. Examples include Mornington, Hunton, Fitzroy, Porter, Remo, Alpina and Unity, alongside our own Lucente, Milano, Cartmel and Oxford ranges. Browse the full selection in our kitchen ranges directory, where each design has its own page with photography and options.

They are different kitchen design systems and should not be treated as interchangeable. Outline creates an integrated handle detail within the door design itself, while true handleless kitchens use a separate rail or trim system fitted behind the doors and drawers so they can be opened without a conventional applied handle. The exact options vary by kitchen design, so check the individual range pages in the kitchen directory to see which system each design supports.

Yes. The catalogue includes a substantial selection of Shaker kitchens with different door profiles, finishes and design details — from the Mornington Shaker and Mornington Beaded designs to Clarendon, Hunton, Fitzroy, Milbourne and the Belsay ranges. The best way to compare them is to browse the Shaker kitchens in the directory, where you can filter by style and see genuine photography for each design.

Yes. The range includes modern handleless designs as well as true handleless kitchens that use a separate trim and rail system, such as Crathorne Handleless, Hunton Handleless, Porter Handleless, Alpina Handleless and Unity Handleless. These are distinct from Outline designs, which integrate the handle detail into the door. You can compare both approaches in the kitchen directory.

Yes. Each kitchen page shows the colours and finishes currently mapped from the supplier brochure for that design, so you can select a preferred kitchen and colour before starting your enquiry. The final specification is always confirmed as part of the quotation and order process, which makes sure the finish you expect is the finish quoted. Browse the options in the kitchen ranges directory.

Yes. Trade Kitchen Supplier works with kitchen fitters, builders, property professionals and other customers purchasing kitchens for projects. Trade customers can send plans, measurements or project information for quotation through the same enquiry process. If you have repeat or multi-project requirements, get in touch to discuss them directly — see our trade accounts page for how we work with regular trade customers.

Yes. Professional customers who already prepare layouts or have specifications can submit these directly rather than starting from scratch. As a kitchen supplier for fitters and a kitchen supplier for builders, we regularly work from contractor-prepared drawings, developer schedules and project documents from property professionals. Upload everything with your enquiry and we will quote against your specification. Read more on our trade accounts page.

If you need shallower cabinetry for a narrow kitchen, utility room, compact space or an unusual layout, send us your requirements. Reduced depth kitchen units — including reduced depth kitchen base units, sometimes called slimline kitchen units or slimline base units — depend on the dimensions you are working with, so we do not publish fixed depth claims. If you need a particular cabinet depth, send us the measurements and we can confirm suitable options. Read more on our reduced depth kitchen units page.
