Kitchen fitters in Somerset
We fit kitchens across Somerset: kitchens you have bought from any supplier, or complete kitchens we design, supply and fit, with every trade booked in the right order. Georgian flats and townhouses often call for a modern kitchen fitted around period features, uneven walls and shared services. Stone cottages and village houses tend to have small kitchens that owners open into a neighbouring room or into a new extension built by their builder.
Kitchens in homes across Somerset
Typical properties here include Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, stone cottages and post-war estate houses. Georgian townhouses in Bath often have kitchens at lower-ground level or in flats on upper floors, while Victorian terraces in Taunton and Yeovil tend to have a narrow back galley.
Somerset's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help keep them working well. Steep streets and controlled parking in Bath, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow village lanes can each make delivering worktops slower.
Rules for kitchen work in Somerset
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.
Bath is a World Heritage city with many listed buildings, and homes in Exmoor National Park or conservation areas may need consent for new vents or internal changes.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Somerset
How much does kitchen fitting cost in Somerset?
Fitting a medium kitchen you have already bought costs around £2,600 to £3,600 including VAT in Somerset, 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 Somerset do you cover?
We cover the whole of Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and Portishead. 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.
How long does it take to fit a kitchen?
Usually three to twelve days on site: three to five for a small kitchen, five to eight for a medium one and eight to twelve for a large one. Stone worktops are fitted about one to two weeks after templating, and new plaster needs three to six weeks to dry before full decorating.
