circumstances provide the space you needed for the preparation of a traditional Christmas dinner or New Year’s Eve Supper? Did the oven that was big enough for the Sunday joint choke at the sight of the huge turkey you bought to get you through the holiday? What about the cupboard space? It may accommodate a long weekend’s shopping with a ‘bit of a squeeze’, but was it filled to bursting point with the extra goods you needed for the break? And then there was the dishwasher ... what dishwasher?


If all this sounds like the Christmas you had this year, don’t wait until the Easter holidays for your new kitchen. Visit your local member of the Kitchen Specialists Association (KSA) and ask the staff to use their expertise to design, supply and install a fully fitted kitchen for you.


And we do mean expertise! Retail membership of the Association is restricted to companies involved in kitchen, bedroom and bathroom retailing who can fulfil strictly enforced criteria that includes a successful trading period of at least 2 years; a fully fitted showroom; and the ability to provide a complete design, supply and installation service.


Christmas and the New year come but once a year - and when they do it’s not just the Xmas pud that’s under pressure!. Inevitably, it is during the Christmas and New Year entertaining period that all those niggling little problems with your present kitchen, which arc

A survey carried out by a national newspaper a few years ago concluded that having a new fitted kitchen design, supplied and installed was almost as stressful as getting a divorce! That may seem to be something of an exaggeration, but there are many problems that can occur between seeing a fitted kitchen you like and getting the project completed to your satisfaction. Each stage in the process calls for expert knowledge - and that’s where The Kitchen Specialists Association can help you find the people who have the necessary skills to turn your dream into reality. First of all, every KSA member has to have a fully fitted showroom displaying a representative selection of the kitchens they can supply. This will give you a far better indication of the quality of kitchens offered than any brochure photograph, however skilful, or even a small sample door. All KSA members offer a complete design, supply and installation service and take full responsibility for the completion of every contract. You will have one firm to deal with from the start to finish. You won’t have to organise another company to deliver the units or appliances and you won't be fobbed off with excuses like "It's down to the fitters”! You won’t have any nasty surprises when the bill comes in cither, because every KSA member provides a detailed quotation. And, in case you were wondering, the deposit you pay when you order the goods from a KSA member is automatically protected too, just like when you book a holiday with a travel agent who is a member of ABTA! This is a unique benefit of dealing with a KSA member. Every deposit they take is protected by an insurance-backed, deposit-protection scheme called Consumer Care. There are no forms to fill out and cover starts from the moment the deposit is placed with a member displaying a current membership certificate in their showroom.

Every member is vetted by an officer of the Association before they are allowed to join; the standard of installations is checked and members continue to be monitored as long as they are in the KSA. If they fail to maintain the Association's standards, membership is withdrawn.


And your peace of mind does not stop with the design, supply and installation of your dream kitchen either! All KSA members pay into a bond which is underwritten by an insurance company. The bond is used to fund the

Association's deposit-protection scheme, KSA Consumer Care which in turn provides the customers of KSA members with a unique and valuable safeguard similar to that provided


on holidays by ABTA.


In the unlikely event of a KSA member ceasing to trade for any reason after taking an order for a kitchen, the Association will endeavour to ensure that the customer gets the kitchen they ordered and at the agreed price. If for some reason the kitchen cannot be supplied, then the KSA will refund the customer’s deposit. This level of protection is only available from members of the KSA all of whom display a current membership certificate in their showroom.


Unfortunately, every trade has one or two rogue retailers and the kitchen industry is no exception. There have been isolated cases where kitchen retailers have claimed to be KSA members when that was not the case. The Association’s advice is to look for a current certificate of membership before you look at the kitchens on display and, if you arc in any doubt, contact the Association’s Helpline (01905 726066) before you part with a penny!


If you would like some advice before you visit your local kitchen retailers, contact the KSA. You may write to them at FREEPOST WR716, Worcester, WR1 1BR (no postage stamp required) or call their Helpline number. The Association will be happy to send you a booklet explaining what to look for when buying a fitted kitchen, bedroom or bathroom and the services their members can offer together with a list of approved specialists in your area.


Follow their advice and your dream kitchen will not turn into an expensive nightmare!
