Quick Guide

​

  • Just need supply → Bronze

  • Want it designed properly → Silver

  • Multiple plots / developer project → Gold

  • One-off or individual installation → Platinum​

​

Our Service Options

🟤 Bronze — Supply Only

 

Best for: Developers, builders or experienced clients

​

  • You provide a list of what you need

  • We manufacture and supply everything ready for site

  • Delivered efficiently, often alongside other items to reduce costs

 

​💬 If you were considering Howdens or similar, this is the equivalent route — but with higher quality, factory-built units and one consistent supplier.

​

⚪ Silver — Design & Supply

​

Best for: Projects where you want it designed properly, but installed by others

​

  • We handle the design and technical detail

  • You receive a fully coordinated package ready for installation

  • Ensures everything works first time

 

💬 A popular option for those who want professional input without full installation.

 

🟡 Gold — Multi-Plot Installation

 

Best for: Developments with multiple units delivered as part of a programme

​

  • Full design, supply and installation

  • Delivered across multiple plots

  • Benefits from economies of scale across multiple plots

 

💬 Provides the same level of service as Platinum, but with cost efficiencies achieved across multiple units.

 

⚫ Platinum — Single / Individual Installation

​

Best for: Individual plots or one-off projects

​

  • Full design, supply and installation

  • Delivered on a plot-by-plot basis

  • The same service level as Gold, delivered on a single-plot basis without economies of scale

 

💬 Offers the same level of service as Gold, but structured for individual projects where shared efficiencies are not available.​

​

💰 Choosing the Right Level

​​

Not every project needs the highest level of service.

 

In fact, choosing the right option often:

​

  • Reduces unnecessary cost

  • Improves efficiency

  • Avoids overcomplicating the process

 

We’ll always guide you towards the most appropriate option — not the most expensive one.​​​

​

🆚 How This Compares to Trade Suppliers

​​

Many clients initially consider trade suppliers.

​

The key difference is:

​

  • Trade suppliers provide components for you to manage

  • Academy Kitchens provides a complete, coordinated solution

 

Even at Bronze level, you benefit from:

​

  • Factory-built units (not flat-pack)

  • Consistent specification

  • One supplier across kitchens, wardrobes and more

​

🎯 Still Not Sure?

Here’s a quick guide:
