Kitchen fitters in Dorset
We fit kitchens across Dorset: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Converted villa flats often mean fitting a full kitchen into a small room while keeping neighbours and shared services in mind. Many bungalow owners choose to open the kitchen into the dining room, so the layout and new lighting need planning together.
Kitchens in homes across Dorset
Typical properties here include thatched cottages, Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s semis and seaside bungalows. Edwardian villas in Bournemouth often have a separate kitchen and scullery, while 1930s semis and bungalows tend to have a compact room at the back.
Most of Dorset has hard water, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter can help. Flats in converted villas may have no lift and shared hallways, and narrow village lanes can make delivering long worktops difficult.
Rules for kitchen work in Dorset
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.
Thatched and listed cottages may need listed building consent for internal changes, and owners of flats in converted houses usually need the freeholder's consent before work starts.
