K4 Kitchens Customer Journey Map
Your Route Map to Kitchen Happiness – Step by Step
Customer Makes Enquiry – Appointment Made
You can either give the office a call or contact us via our website or email. We book an appointment in our calendar to visit you and your kitchen. This is an in-depth meeting and therefore would helpful for all interested parties to be present.
We Visit You – Full Consultation
A member of our team will visit and conduct a full consultation and take measurements. Next, we will establish your kitchen requirements, discuss our ideas and explore potential appliances, worktops, lighting, sink, tap and door styles and colours. This is when the magic starts to happen!
Initial Design & Costing - 2nd Consultation Booked
Back at the K4 Kitchens HQ, we get to work designing using ArtiCAD software to enable you to visualise your new kitchen. Then we produce the costing for your kitchen. After this we'll give you a call to book the 2nd consultation in advance.
2nd Meeting – Final Details Agreed
We visit you again to show the completed CAD designs and costings. Of course, any changes are discussed and noted, ready to be updated back at the K4 Kitchens HQ.
Order Emailed for Acceptance
If applicable, any changes discussed at the second appointment are made. Then the full quote, plan and plan key are emailed over via PandaDoc (our online quote signature portal).
Order Processing
All the products listed in the quote will be ordered by the team at HQ. These products are unique and customised to your order. We will then wait to receive some delivery date ETA's from our suppliers so we can contact you to pencil in your kitchen start date... very exciting!
Project Start Date Agreed
One of our team members at HQ will contact you when we have received our manufacturer's delivery date ETA's. At this point we will pencil in your kitchen installation dates into our calendars.
Installation Period
As agreed and set up in our calendars, we will arrive to install your new kitchen. We strive to minimise disruption, whilst delivering the very highest standards of installation and finishing possible.
Customer Handover
After a typical 5* K4 installation, we will have a final clean up and ensure waste collection has taken place. We will then talk through the care of your new kitchen and also our guarantees.
Your Kitchen Journey with K4 Kitchens
Choosing a new kitchen is a big decision, but the process doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. At K4 Kitchens, we guide you through every step, from the first conversation to the final installation, so you always know what to expect.
With over 25 years of experience designing and fitting kitchens across Canterbury and East Kent, we’ve developed a simple, proven process that keeps your project smooth, organised and enjoyable.

Your journey begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. This is where we get to know you, your space and your ideas.
During this stage, we will:

Talk through layout options and practical solutions
-
Answer any questions you may have
-
Arrange a home survey if required

This includes:

Accurate room measurements
-
Checking walls, floors and services
-
Identifying any potential challenges early

Confirming layout possibilities
Careful planning at this stage helps avoid surprises later in the project.

Excellent
Based on 109 reviews
I had a new integrated microwave fitted. K4 advised me on the correct model for me, delivered and fitted very quickly. Excellent service.
K4 was a very pleasant company to work with, all the team were friendly, helpful, informative and reliable. Their fitters were thorough, tidy, considerate and always explained what they were doing.
K4 provided an excellent service from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with was efficient, co-operative, and courteous. The quality of the work was excellent, and the finished job was everything we wanted. I couldn’t recommend them more.
Very pleased with all work carried out. Friendly workman only stopped for a very short break and stayed late to finish the job.
