Kitchen Fitters in East Sussex

Kitchens in homes across East Sussex

Typical properties here include Regency townhouses and flats, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and seaside bungalows. Regency and Victorian houses split into flats often have small kitchens in former reception rooms, while 1930s semis usually have a compact kitchen at the back.

East Sussex has hard water, so limescale builds up on taps, kettles and boiling water taps, and a filter or softener is worth considering. Seafront flats without lifts, permit parking and steep streets in the coastal towns can make delivery and waste removal slower, so access needs planning.

Rules for kitchen work in East Sussex

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.

Listed Regency buildings, conservation areas and homes inside the South Downs National Park may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners usually need freeholder consent.

Which towns in East Sussex do you cover?

We cover the whole of East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Hove, Bexhill-on-Sea and Hailsham. If your town is not listed, send us your postcode.

Do you remove the old kitchen?

Yes. Removing the old kitchen is usually part of the job: units, worktops, appliances and, where agreed, old tiles. Gas is capped by a Gas Safe registered engineer and circuits made safe by an electrician first. Waste and packaging go through licensed waste routes, and removal is shown as its own line in your quote.

Do you take on smaller kitchen jobs?

Yes. As well as full kitchens, we replace doors and drawer fronts, fit new worktops, install appliances, cooker hoods, sinks and taps, and carry out kitchen electrics and plumbing. Smaller jobs still start with a survey visit, so the measurements and the price are right before anything is ordered.
