How do I choose a trustworthy kitchen fitter?

Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A kitchen fitter backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.

Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend kitchen fitters for payment?

No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Kitchen fitters are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.

Where do the reviews come from?

They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.

What should I check before hiring a kitchen fitter?

Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the kitchen fitter, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.

What to check when hiring kitchen fitters in South Africa

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.

How to judge a kitchen fitter

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

A kitchen fit-out combines trades, so any electrical work (stove circuit, sockets, lighting) should be by a registered electrician who issues an electrical Certificate of Compliance, any gas hob connection by an authorised gas practitioner (SAQCC Gas) who issues a gas Certificate of Conformity, and plumbing by a PIRB-registered plumber.
Check the business is registered with CIPC, is VAT-registered if applicable, and carries public liability insurance.
Get a written scope covering units, tops, plumbing for sink/dishwasher, electrical, gas and appliance install.
Ask to see photos of comparable completed kitchens and a written guarantee.

Warning signs of a cowboy

Connects a gas hob without a SAQCC Gas practitioner and CoC, or does electrical work without an electrical CoC.
Cash-only with no tax invoice, or a large deposit up front.
A vague quote with no breakdown of units and trades.
No examples of comparable completed work.

Questions to ask before you hire

Who does the gas and electrical work, and will I get a gas CoC and an electrical CoC?
Is the plumber PIRB-registered?
Do you carry public liability insurance, and can I see comparable kitchens?
What guarantee do you give on units and workmanship?
