Kitchen fitters in Bedfordshire
We fit kitchens across Bedfordshire: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Many older terraces here have a separate back kitchen, and some owners open it into the dining room to make one larger space. If your home is on a newer estate, the job is more often a straight replacement of a builder-grade kitchen, with extra sockets and a better worktop.
Kitchens in homes across Bedfordshire
Typical properties here include Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates. Terraced houses here often have a narrow galley or back-addition kitchen, while interwar semis tend to have a small square kitchen at the rear.
Water across most of Bedfordshire is hard, so limescale builds up quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Town-centre terraces can have tight on-street parking, so it helps to plan where a van unloads and how long worktops will pass through a narrow hallway.
Rules for kitchen work in Bedfordshire
Fitting a new kitchen does not need planning permission in England. Listed building consent may be needed if the building is listed, and a new vent through the outside wall of a flat may need planning permission and the freeholder's consent. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and new circuits or a new consumer unit are notifiable under Part P, so they are certified through a competent person scheme or building control. New extraction should be designed to Approved Document F rates (about 30 litres per second for a hood ducted outside), a refit should not leave ventilation worse than before, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect a gas hob.
Fitting a kitchen needs no planning permission, but listed cottages in the older market towns may need listed building consent for changes such as a new vent through a historic wall.
