Kitchen fitters in Argyll and Bute
We fit kitchens across Argyll and Bute: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Villa kitchens are sometimes split between a main room and a former scullery, and joining them is a common project that needs a building warrant if the wall is load-bearing. Rural cottages are often off the gas grid, so cooking may be electric or run from LPG.
Kitchens in homes across Argyll and Bute
Typical properties here include Victorian villas, whitewashed cottages, tenement flats and post-war bungalows. Victorian villas in Dunoon and Oban often have a separate scullery and a larger kitchen, while cottages and bungalows tend to have a compact room at the back.
Soft water is usual across Argyll and Bute, so limescale is rarely a concern, though rural homes on private supplies may need their own filtering. Long single-track roads are common, and some mainland addresses are quickest reached by ferry, so delivery dates, vehicle size and worktop lengths need planning around timetables and weather.
Rules for kitchen work in Argyll and Bute
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.
Parts of Cowal lie within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Argyll and Bute

Which towns in Argyll and Bute do you cover?
We cover the whole of Argyll and Bute, including Dunoon and Oban. We do not currently cover the islands, such as Bute, Mull and Islay. If your town is not listed, send us your postcode.
What if there is asbestos in my kitchen?
Homes built before 2000 may contain asbestos, for example in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, some boiler cupboard boards and bitumen pads under old steel sinks. If your home is that age, an asbestos survey before strip-out is sensible. If asbestos is suspected or found, that area is left undisturbed until it has been tested and dealt with properly.
What areas do you cover?
