A Case Study from The Used Kitchen Company  

Grossman says “When it comes to sourcing kitchens, our process is seamless. Every day we receive enquiries from showrooms and individuals across the country looking to sell their used and ex-display kitchens. These kitchens undergo rigorous vetting from our kitchen specialists and are photographed and measured before being showcased on our platform. We leverage our extensive network to ensure maximum visibility, facilitating viewings, inquiries, and ultimately, the sale, payment, and collection process.”

TUKC clients span from property developers and architects to private individuals and celebrities, with such influence, they have a significant platform to make an impact on the broader industry.

Nobilia: A Case Study

"Once we have gathered the necessary specifications and photographs, the rest is up to us.” 

According to Grossman, potential buyers will often want to view the kitchens before purchase and TUKC will arrange all the viewings, answer enquiries, and coordinate the sale, payment, dismantling and collection at a date that suits the seller.

“A great example is this Nobilia Kitchen, which we sold on behalf of Rugby Fitted Kitchens. The kitchen retails at £25K and was sold for £8,550 to Laura Martin. The sale not only included the honed black laquer furniture, the island, worktops, Neff and Liebherr appliances but all the accessories as well. The buyer was undergoing a total revamp of their kitchen in Melksham and wanted to go “dark” in the kitchen.  This fab ex-display more than ticked all their boxes”

Laura, the buyer said “ The joiner that we had to fit the kitchen used some creative ideas to make the kitchen perfect for us. He built bespoke shelving, cut some cupboards to size and even used leftover materials to build a coffee bar. It was easy to order any extra items that we needed from Rugby Fitted Kitchens. The kitchen is high-quality and all of the fittings and fixtures have a luxury feel to them.

The process from start to finish was really easy, with TUKC answering any questions quickly and efficiently. To have a high-end kitchen (and appliances) within budget is remarkable. If it wasn't for TUKC, the kitchen would have been out of our price range. We absolutely love it.”
