Fitting a kitchen in Darlington
Homes right across Darlington are covered, as are nearby places such as Newton Aycliffe, Yarm and the villages in between.
Around Darlington and the rest of County Durham you will find colliery terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council-built houses and stone-built village houses. Colliery terraces often have a small back kitchen in the rear offshoot, while 1930s semis usually have a square kitchen that can open into the dining room.
Many colliery terraces have a cramped kitchen in the back offshoot, and knocking through to the living room is a common way to make a family kitchen. Ex-council semis more often need a full strip-out with new electrics, more sockets and a better layout.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Darlington
How much does kitchen fitting cost in Darlington?
Fitting a medium kitchen you have already bought costs around £2,200 to £3,200 including VAT in Darlington, based on prices in the North East. Smaller jobs such as new worktops or doors cost much less. Your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you work near Darlington as well?
Yes. As well as Darlington itself, we cover the rest of County Durham and nearby towns such as Newton Aycliffe and Yarm. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
Do I need building regulations approval or certificates for a new kitchen?
Fitting units does not need approval, but parts of the job may. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671, and notifiable work in England and Wales is notified through a registered competent person scheme or building control. Gas work is done by Gas Safe registered engineers. For load-bearing walls we arrange building control approval, or a building warrant in Scotland.
Can I use my kitchen while it is being fitted?
Not for most of the job. Once the old kitchen comes out there is no sink or cooker until the new ones are connected, usually around one to two weeks for a typical refit. We tell you in advance which days the water and power will be off, so you can set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house.
