• Reduce noise levels by turning off the music and wearing headphones when you need peace at home during construction. We can also perform noisy work early in the morning if this is more convenient for you.

• Ensure that the lighting around the construction site remains on during working hours so that we can see what we’re doing safely without the need for additional sources of light, such as torches, which can be distracting. Medlock Kitchens of Manchester will always ensure that our staff are well equipped with all the necessary tools before starting a kitchen extension project.
