Kitchen fitters in Gloucestershire
We fit kitchens across Gloucestershire: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. If your home is a Cotswold stone cottage, the walls are often thick and uneven, so tall units and worktops need careful scribing. Regency and Victorian townhouses sometimes have kitchens on lower floors, where damp, low ceilings and the route for waste pipes can shape the layout.
Kitchens in homes across Gloucestershire
Typical properties here include cotswold stone cottages, Regency townhouses, Victorian terraces and post-war estate houses. Cotswold stone cottages often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while Regency townhouses in Cheltenham may have a long kitchen at garden level or in a former basement.
Hard water is the norm across most of Gloucestershire, so expect limescale on taps and appliances and think about a filter for a boiling water tap. Stone villages with narrow lanes and limited parking can make deliveries slow, and townhouse flats over several floors may mean carrying units up stairs.
Rules for kitchen work in Gloucestershire
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 stone cottages, Cheltenham's Regency terraces and homes in conservation areas may need consent before new vents are cut or historic features are removed.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Gloucestershire
How much does kitchen fitting cost in Gloucestershire?
Fitting a medium kitchen you have already bought costs around £2,600 to £3,600 including VAT in Gloucestershire, 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 Gloucestershire do you cover?
We cover the whole of Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Kingswood, Yate and Tewkesbury. If your town is not listed, send us your postcode.
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.
What if there is asbestos in my kitchen?
Homes built before 2000 may contain asbestos, for example in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, some boiler cupboard boards and bitumen pads under old steel sinks. If your home is that age, an asbestos survey before strip-out is sensible. If asbestos is suspected or found, that area is left undisturbed until it has been tested and dealt with properly.
