Please take a few minutes to carefully read through the following important information pertaining to our Terms and Conditions (T&C’s).

If you have any questions, your design consultant will be happy to answer them for you.

Kitchen design appointments are free of charge to clients at the appropriate stage of their build or renovation project.

Following the initial design consultation, clients are invited back for a second consultation, where 3D plans are presented to the client. 3D plans are released to the client on payment of a booking deposit.

Pre build consultation appointments incur a charge, which is fully redeemable against the purchase of a MLK kitchen.

Pre build consultation costs are as follows;
(1) First consultation, a review of house plans with a designer, in respect of kitchen layout, including for example changes to window and/or door placement is charged at €250.
(2) Follow up consultation with the production of 3D plans is charged at €750.

We recommend clients study their drawings carefully before signing their MLK 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 Kitchens itself.

Our payment terms are divided into three simple instalments which are as follows:

• 1st Instalment: Booking deposit of €1,000 paid on placing order with MLK.
• 2nd Instalment: 50% payment received 5 working days before order of materials (after site measurement, design finalisation & sign off).
• 3rd Instalment: MLK balance received 10 working days before delivery.

Finance Options are available via our finance partner humm. To learn more please speak with your designer.

All furniture is made to order and as such payments are non-refundable.
Late payments may result in rescheduling of fit dates.

Quality – Remedial/ snags
Upon completion, the customer must meet the fitter on day of completion to check through all works and sign off on the job to ensure customer satisfaction.

We endeavor to resolve any issue(s) identified at completion check and sign off, in a timely manner. However from time to time there may be delays in availability of materials. How quickly the company can produce snag items depends on the type of product, i.e. painted products may take up to 2/3 weeks.

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.

Painted MLK Kitchens, 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 metre at the time of installation or retrofitted.
