About timfoley

For those who don't know me from Adam, I'm Tim Foley, owner of the website Kitchensfitted and aside from our very popular forum that assists those buying and fitting kitchens and our website articles detailing how to fit a kitchen, we provide and install bespoke quality Corian and Quartz worktops nationwide. My background is entirely in kitchens from spending almost 30 years as an installer to working as a contractor leading teams of installers around the country, to that of Project Consultant to a number of TV Shows such as Better Homes, 60 Minute Makeover and New Homes or Old, a Tonight with Trevor McDonald Special. I hope you find my blogs useful and feel free to leave your opinions in the comments box unless you are a spammer, in which case I would suggest you go find a therapist. On the same note - if you are a spammer at least challenge me to think your comments are authentic and from a reader who knows about kitchens - who knows? if you manage to fool me then your comment will be displayed. If you are an interested reader of my blogs, thank you and I apologise for my little aside with the spammer element.
