A kitchen renovation is one of the bigger jobs you'll have done in your home, so choosing the right fitter matters. Homeowners across Paisley, Johnstone and Glasgow often ask us what separates a good tradesperson from one to avoid — here's our honest checklist.
Ask to see recent local work
A fitter who regularly works in Paisley and Glasgow will understand the common quirks of the housing stock here, from tenement stone walls to newer new-build estates around Renfrewshire. Photos or references from recent local jobs are a good sign.

Check trade registration and insurance
Any reputable fitter should hold public liability insurance and be able to explain how gas, electrical and plumbing work will be certified where needed. Don't be afraid to ask directly — a genuine tradesperson will expect the question.
Communication counts for a lot
Kitchens rarely go perfectly to plan — old pipework or wiring can throw up surprises once walls are opened up. What matters is how quickly and clearly your fitter communicates when something needs adjusting, rather than leaving you guessing.
