Kitchen fitters in Kent
We fit kitchens across Kent: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Many Victorian terraces have a narrow back kitchen that owners open into the dining room to make a family space. Oast and barn conversions can put the kitchen in an unusual room shape, which calls for careful planning of units, extraction and lighting.
Kitchens in homes across Kent
Typical properties here include Victorian terraces, weatherboarded cottages, 1930s semis and oast house conversions. Victorian terraces in the Medway towns and along the coast often have a narrow back-addition kitchen, while 1930s semis usually have a small kitchen beside a separate dining room.
Water across Kent is hard, so limescale builds up quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Seaside terraces, permit parking and narrow village lanes can each make deliveries slower, so the route for long worktops is best checked at the survey.
Rules for kitchen work in Kent
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 weatherboarded and timber-framed cottages, oast conversions and homes in conservation areas such as historic Canterbury may need consent for new external vents.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Kent
How much does kitchen fitting cost in Kent?
Fitting a medium kitchen you have already bought costs around £2,900 to £4,000 including VAT in Kent, based on prices in the South East. A mid-range kitchen supplied and fitted costs around £20,500 to £40,000. Your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which towns in Kent do you cover?
We cover the whole of Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone and Margate. If your town is not listed, send us your postcode.
How do I get started?
Start with the guide-price tool for a quick range for your kitchen and region, or book a survey visit straight away. The survey is free and there is no obligation. After it you receive an itemised written quote, and your price is fixed in writing once the layout, specification and scope are agreed.
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.
