Planning a kitchen refurbishment before Christmas? Now could be a particularly good time to get your plans moving, as Howdens is currently running TradeFest, its biggest kitchen event of the year.
For JW McDonald Kitchens & Bathrooms customers, this creates an opportunity to make the most of the trade pricing available through our supplier account and potentially make your kitchen budget go further.
What is Howdens TradeFest?
TradeFest is Howdens’ biggest kitchen event of the year, showcasing its latest kitchens and offering customers the opportunity to explore different styles, ranges and budgets. Howdens is also promoting free design appointments, including a home survey and 3D kitchen plans, to help customers develop their kitchen ideas. But you need a Kitchen installer to help you with this, and that is where we are here to help.
For our customers, this is a useful opportunity to get your kitchen design finalised while the event is running and make the most of the trade pricing available to us.
Making your kitchen budget go further
A kitchen refurbishment is a significant investment, so naturally you want to get as much as possible from your budget.
When we purchase kitchens through our trade suppliers, we are able to access trade pricing. When supplier events and additional promotions are running, these can provide an opportunity for further savings, depending on the kitchen selected and the applicable event terms.
That could mean putting the saving towards an upgraded kitchen, additional storage, a different door style or simply reducing the overall cost of the kitchen itself.
Planning a kitchen refurbishment before Christmas?
If you are hoping to have your new kitchen installed before Christmas, the timing is important.
There is still a lot to organise before installation can begin. Your kitchen needs to be designed and finalised, measurements and specifications confirmed, the order placed and the kitchen delivered ready for installation.
For customers wanting to take advantage of the current TradeFest opportunity, there is an important deadline to keep in mind.
To qualify for the additional kitchen event discounts, the kitchen must be paid for by the end of October and delivered during the first week of November.
This means your kitchen choices need to be finalised in good time. Leaving decisions until November could mean missing the event deadline and the opportunity to benefit from the additional pricing.
Get your kitchen plans moving
If a new kitchen has been on your wish list for a while, now is a good time to start putting your plans together.
Think about the layout you would like, how much storage you need, your preferred colours and door styles, worktops, appliances and any changes you would like to make to the room.
Howdens’ design service can also help with developing the kitchen plan, with a free home survey and 3D plans available through its design appointment service.
From there, we can work through the installation requirements and establish what is involved in bringing your new kitchen to life.
The important dates
If you want to make the most of the current kitchen event and are planning a pre-Christmas refurbishment, keep these dates in mind:
By the end of October:
Your kitchen must be paid for to qualify for the additional event discount.
First week of November:
Your kitchen must be delivered.
November onwards:
Your kitchen refurbishment can get underway, depending on the individual project and installation requirements.
Planning ahead means you can take advantage of the supplier event while also giving yourself the best chance of having your new kitchen completed in time for Christmas.
Ready to start planning?
TradeFest won’t be around forever, so if you have been thinking about a new kitchen, now is the time to get your plans moving.
With the right planning, you could secure your kitchen through the current supplier event, have it delivered in early November and then get your refurbishment underway ready for the festive season.
