If you’re currently undertaking a renovation project, or indeed needed to replace an existing appliance in recent months, you may be fully aware of the difficulties in obtaining certain appliances, especially Dishwashers!
COVID-19 is the main contributing factor for this and in a nutshell, the production lines of certain components needed in a dishwasher and some ovens, just simply cannot keep up with demand. With all of us having to spend so much more time at home over the last couple of years, the home renovation market has gone off the scale!
So how are we overcoming this problem? To try to ensure that our clients still have the minimal disruption during their renovation project, and let’s face it the kitchen is always the most disruptive room in the house to renovate, we are working to the guideline lead times given to us by manufacturers and booking client installations into our schedule around these timelines.
We aren’t miracle workers, don’t get me wrong and so far this approach has worked for us, but we are in the hands of manufacturers. Our advice to you if you’re undertaking a renovation project, get your appliances on order allowing yourself 16-20 week lead times on some items, unless you want to be eating out, dining in on take-aways or washing-up for quite a long time!
