Terms & Conditions

David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd gives a 15-year structural guarantee on its Kitchens.  This guarantee covers the structural integrity of the carcass of the Kitchen.  It does not cover breakages and damage caused in the normal course of usage.  Timber is a natural product and colours may vary.  Colour should not be taken as an exact colour given.  Colour may change over time and this is part of the normal ageing of a kitchen.

 

Kitchen Design and Drawings

Computerized drawings of Kitchens are provided free of charge.  We recommend that customers study the drawings carefully before signing this contract.  However, it should be understood that drawings of the plans are only a representation of the Kitchen and should not be taken as the actual Kitchen itself.

 

Plumbing

If shelving underneath the sink unit are removed by plumbers, David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd is not responsible for refitting or any damage that may be caused.

It is the responsibility of the client to have the hole bored for the extractor duct as David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd does not carry out this work.  Ducting is not supplied free of charge with the extractor fan, it must be purchased separately.  Appropriate duct sizes must be ascertained and fit in accordance with extractor specifications.

Heating

David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd recommends that the heating is on for 2-3 weeks before the kitchen is fitted.  Insufficient drying before the Kitchen is installed will cause problems with units swelling and doors sticking.  David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd is not responsible for any such damage or loss

Aftercare Service

It is strongly recommended that Kitchens are maintained in accordance with normal maintenance guidelines.

  • Kitchens should be washed occasionally with soap and water to eliminate stains and greases.

  • Hinges and handles should be kept firmly secured.  If they become loose, they should be fixed immediately to avoid damage

  • If doors or frames get damaged, they should be fixed immediately to avoid the problem escalating into bigger damage problems.

  • Kitchens should only be painted with paint supplied or approved by David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd.  The use of any other paint may damage your kitchen or affect its appearance

  • Kicker boards are prone to damage so care is needed to dry kickers properly after washing floors.  Kicker boards can be sealed at a cost of €6 per meter at the time of installation or retrofitted.

 

Appliances

All appliances supplied by David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd will be fitted into position by our fitters free of charge but not commissioned or connected.  For the avoidance of doubt David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd only fit appliances into place.  David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd do not connect the appliances as qualified electricians/plumbers are required to carry out the connections.  Appliances can include but are not restricted to cookers, hobs, extractors, dishwashers, sink, washing machines and drying machines.

Our payment terms are divided into three installments which are as follows:

  • 1st installment:  30% booking deposit (a job is not booked or secured until a booking deposit is received and cleared)

  • 2nd installment: 60% due seven working days prior to installation.  All cheques must be cleared prior to installation.  Installation date will be agreed between the customer and David McCarthy Kitchens Ltd.
