Kitchen fitters in Devon
We fit kitchens across Devon: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Cob and stone cottages often have walls that are out of true and need breathable finishes, which affects how units and splashbacks are fixed. Seaside bungalows more often need a full replacement with better storage, sometimes with the old dining area opened into the kitchen.
Kitchens in homes across Devon
Typical properties here include cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.
Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier. Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house.
Rules for kitchen work in Devon
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.
Homes within Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Devon
How much does kitchen fitting cost in Devon?
Fitting a medium kitchen you have already bought costs around £2,600 to £3,600 including VAT in Devon, based on prices in the South West. A mid-range kitchen supplied and fitted costs around £18,500 to £36,000. Your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which towns in Devon do you cover?
We cover the whole of Devon, including Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton, Torquay, Newton Abbot and Exmouth. If your town is not listed, send us your postcode.
Is the survey visit free?
Yes. The survey visit is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the room, check the walls, floors and the positions of the gas, water, waste and electrics, and for fit-only jobs check what has been bought. You then receive an itemised written quote.
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.
