Kitchen fitters in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
We fit kitchens across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. In a granite tenement flat, the kitchen is often a small room off the hall, and opening it into the living room needs a building warrant if the wall is load-bearing, and can need one even if it is not, where the change affects the escape route or fire separation in a flat. Many rural bungalows are off the gas grid, so cooking is often electric.
Kitchens in homes across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Typical properties here include granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.
Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner. Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries.
Rules for kitchen work in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
In Scotland, replacing kitchen fitments, adding an extractor fan and most electrical work in a house do not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for an Electrical Installation Certificate. Removing a load-bearing wall or changing how waste water is discharged needs a warrant first. Gas hobs must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Every home in Scotland must have an interlinked heat alarm in the kitchen, so it is kept or refitted, and tested, as part of the job.
Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.

How long does it take to fit a kitchen?
Usually three to twelve days on site: three to five for a small kitchen, five to eight for a medium one and eight to twelve for a large one. Stone worktops are fitted about one to two weeks after templating, and new plaster needs three to six weeks to dry before full decorating.
Do you remove the old kitchen?
Yes. Removing the old kitchen is usually part of the job: units, worktops, appliances and, where agreed, old tiles. Gas is capped by a Gas Safe registered engineer and circuits made safe by an electrician first. Waste and packaging go through licensed waste routes, and removal is shown as its own line in your quote.
