KBSA & Robert
Charles Kitchens.
Following is a short
list of the benefits when buying a kitchen from
a KBSA member:
1. Consumers who buy from a KBSA member are entitled
to KBSA ConsumerCare.
2. The KBSA logo
with its distinctive tick should reassure consumers
that they are dealing with a reputable and reliable
company.
3. All KBSA retailers have to have been trading
solvently for over 2 years. This ensures that
they are not a "fly by night" company.
4. KBSA retailers
are continuously vetted by Association Officers
to ensure they continue to uphold the high standards
of the Association.
5. All KBSA retailers
have their own showrooms with permanently fitted
displays, so that consumers can personally check
and see the quality of the kitchens they are buying.
6. KBSA retailers
will be able to supply all the products that they
have on display.
7. All KBSA retailers
offer a design and installation service. All retailers
will take full legal responsibility for all the
work involved in the contract, including the fitting
of units, plumbing (gas and water) and electrics.
8. KBSA members
will only ask for a 25% deposit once a kitchen
plan has been agreed. Many retailers will ask
for more, and some can even ask for the full amount
- if this should happen walk away!
9. The KBSA offers an conciliation and adjudication
service which can deal with customer complaints
against a retailer.
10. When buying from a KBSA member consumers can
rest assured that they are buying from the best.
Does such expertise cost more? The answer is no.
In test after test, when kitchens of comparable
quality have been checked, those from KBSA members
do not cost any more, and because of their superior
design skills, can sometimes cost less than similar
kitchens
