The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation (BiKBBI) has launched a new accreditation scheme, Accredited Installation Methods (AiM), which intends to set a clear industry standard for the KBB installation sector. AiM offers a comprehensive framework that reduces risk, boosts credibility, and ensures quality assurance across all stages of the installation process.
The accreditation evaluates key areas, including compliance, contractor relationships, health and safety, service delivery, consumer offerings, and contractual terms. The scheme is designed to benefit KBB businesses, installers, and consumers alike.
Available to retailers of all sizes—from independent showrooms to national brands—and covering all aspects of kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom installation, AiM also includes work surfaces, appliance installation, and specialist elements like showers, taps, flooring, lighting, and underfloor heating.
Damian Walters, BiKBBI CEO, commented, “AiM is another piece of a complex jigsaw that will contribute to positive change within the industry and indeed the raising of standards. For the first time, we have a robust mechanism to not only acknowledge those businesses who deliver a compelling installation service, but also to those who would benefit from advice, guidance and support in the development of their proposition. AiM will help businesses and brands to develop their service, maximising commercial opportunities, whilst at the same time reducing risk. This will be a game-changer for our industry and its success will be reliant on the industry embracing and supporting this progression.”
