  • Trading Name: Strumskis Kitchens
  • Legal Entity: YCP-UK Ltd
  • Registered in: England & Wales

All services are provided by YCP-UK Ltd under the trading name Strumskis Kitchens.

2. Scope of Services

I provide professional services relating to kitchen renovations, which may include:

  • Independent kitchen consultation
  • Kitchen project management
  • Full kitchen installation
  • Supply of kitchens, cabinetry, appliances, and related components

Each service is offered individually or in combination, subject to written agreement. No service is implied unless explicitly confirmed.

3. Independent Kitchen Consultation (Advisory Service)

Independent kitchen consultation is a professional advisory service only.

This service may include:

  • review of layouts, drawings, and specifications
  • review of quotes, allowances, and scope of work
  • guidance on preparation, sequencing, and decision-making
  • identification of common risks and practical considerations

Advice is provided based on:

  • professional experience
  • information supplied by the client
  • conditions reasonably visible or described at the time

Consultation does not constitute architectural, structural engineering, surveying, building control, or legal advice. Clients remain responsible for engaging appropriate professionals where required.

4. Professional Judgement and Limitations

All advice is given in good faith and represents professional opinion, not guarantees of outcome.

Kitchen renovations involve variables beyond the Company’s control, including existing building conditions, third-party workmanship, and supplier performance. No advice can eliminate all risk.

5. No Obligation to Proceed

Engaging an independent consultation does not obligate the client to proceed with project management, installation, or supply services.

Likewise, YCP-UK Ltd reserves the right to decline further involvement in a project following consultation.

6. Project Management Services

Where kitchen project management services are agreed, my role is limited to:

  • structured planning and sequencing advice
  • coordination guidance
  • progress review at agreed stages
  • decision support

Unless expressly agreed in writing:

  • I do not act as principal contractor
  • I do not directly supervise or employ third-party trades
  • responsibility for third-party contractors remains with the client

Project management services are advisory and organisational in nature.

7. Kitchen Installation Services

Where full kitchen installation services are agreed:

  • the scope of work will be confirmed in writing
  • timelines are indicative and subject to external factors
  • reasonable access to the property must be provided

Unforeseen site conditions, structural issues, or delays outside the Company’s control may affect timing and cost.

YCP-UK Ltd reserves the right to limit installation workload to maintain quality and standards.

8. Supply of Kitchens and Appliances

Where the supply of kitchens or appliances is agreed:

  • products are supplied subject to manufacturer specifications and warranties
  • delivery times are indicative only
  • variations, delays, or defects caused by suppliers are outside the Company’s direct control

Any warranty claims are subject to manufacturer terms.

9. Fees, Pricing, and Payment

All fees:

  • are agreed in advance
  • may be fixed, staged, or time-based
  • are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise

Consultation fees are payable regardless of outcome or subsequent engagement.

Late payment may result in suspension of services. The Company reserves the right to recover reasonable costs where permitted by law.

10. Cancellations and Rescheduling

Consultations or services may be rescheduled subject to reasonable notice.

Late cancellations or missed appointments may be chargeable in full or in part, depending on preparation already undertaken.

11. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for:

  • providing accurate and complete information

Advice and recommendations are based solely on the information provided by the client.
