Why We Don’t Subcontract Our Kitchen Fitting — Meet Charlie, Our In-House Fitter

When choosing a kitchen company, one of the most important things to understand is who will actually be fitting your kitchen.
At Riggzy Kitchens, we believe in doing things properly, which is why we never subcontract our kitchen fitting. Every installation is carried out by our dedicated in-house kitchen fitter, Charlie — the only fitter we use.
This approach helps us maintain the high standards our customers expect and gives you complete peace of mind throughout your kitchen installation.
Our Kitchen Fitting Is Never Subcontracted
Many kitchen companies subcontract their fitting work to external installers. While this can work, it often means the person installing your kitchen may not be familiar with the company’s methods, standards, or expectations.
At Riggzy Kitchens, we’ve chosen a different approach.
All of our kitchen fitting is completed in-house, meaning you always know exactly who will be working in your home. Charlie is employed directly by Riggzy Kitchens and works exclusively with us, ensuring consistency across every project.
This allows us to maintain full control over quality and ensure every kitchen is fitted to the same high standard.
Meet Charlie — Our In-House Kitchen Fitter
Charlie isn’t just our fitter — he’s part of our family.
Charlie is Zoe’s husband, which makes him a key part of the Riggzy Kitchens family-run team. Being family-run means we genuinely care about every kitchen we install, because our reputation is built on trust, relationships, and quality workmanship.
Charlie was taught everything he needs to know by Simon, whom had been fitting kitchens for over 30 years prior to his semi – retirement.
Having a family member responsible for kitchen fitting gives us an even greater sense of accountability and pride in every installation.
Charlie is also our only kitchen fitter, meaning every Riggzy Kitchens installation benefits from the same skill, experience, and attention to detail.

Charlie Completes Your Initial Kitchen Survey
One of the biggest advantages of having an in-house kitchen fitter is that Charlie is involved from the very beginning.
Before installation begins, Charlie carries out the initial kitchen survey. This is an essential step that allows us to identify measurements, layouts, and potential challenges early on.
His goal during this survey is simple:
To identify any possible issues before they become problems.
By spotting potential complications early, we can plan ahead, adjust designs if necessary, and ensure a smoother kitchen installation process. This proactive approach helps prevent delays, unexpected costs, and last-minute surprises.
Consistent Quality With an In-House Kitchen Fitter
Using subcontractors often means different installers working on different jobs, each with their own style and methods.
Because we use one dedicated in-house kitchen fitter, every Riggzy Kitchens installation follows the same trusted process. Charlie understands exactly how our kitchens are designed and how they should be installed to achieve the best possible finish.
This consistency helps us deliver:
- Accurate and professional installations
- Attention to detail at every stage
- Reliable workmanship
- High-quality finishing touches
- Kitchens installed to our exact standards
Consistency is one of the biggest advantages of keeping kitchen fitting in-house.
Clear Accountability From Start to Finish
When subcontractors are involved, responsibility can sometimes become unclear if adjustments are needed.
With Riggzy Kitchens, there’s no confusion.
Because Charlie is part of our team, we take full responsibility for your kitchen installation from start to finish. If anything needs adjusting, you deal directly with us — not multiple contractors.
This clear accountability gives our customers confidence and reassurance throughout the entire project.
A Personal, Family-Run Approach
As a family-run business, we understand how important your kitchen is. It’s not just another project — it’s part of your home and daily life.
Having Charlie, Zoe’s husband, as our in-house kitchen fitter strengthens our commitment to delivering a personal service. We treat every kitchen installation as if it were being completed in our own home.
That means:
- Respecting your space
- Keeping work areas tidy
- Communicating clearly
- Taking pride in every detail
- Delivering a finish we are proud to put our name to
This personal approach is one of the reasons customers choose Riggzy Kitchens.
