Fit-only kitchen fitting in Bedworth
Bought a kitchen and need it fitted in Bedworth, or want us to supply one? For fit-only kitchen fitting, we start with a free survey visit and a fixed written scope.
Who usually needs fit-only kitchen fitting in Bedworth?
If your kitchen is ordered for delivery to your Bedworth home and the retailer does not offer fitting, fit only covers the labour to put it in properly.
Some Bedworth households have a kitchen waiting in a spare room after a fitter dropped out, and need the boxes checked and the fit planned again from the start. Our Warwickshire coverage reaches every part of Bedworth (CV12) and out towards Nuneaton.
What does the job involve?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Packaging and offcuts cleared, with removal of the old kitchen available as an extra
- Delivery checked against the plan and delivery note before fitting starts
- End panels, filler panels, plinths, cornice and light rail scribed and fitted
- Doors and drawer fronts hung and adjusted, with handles drilled and fitted
- Base, wall and tall units positioned, levelled on their legs and fixed to the wall
- Free survey visit to check your plan, the room and the service positions

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Bedworth homes
Across Warwickshire you will often find Regency townhouses, timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces in Nuneaton and Rugby often have a narrow back kitchen, while Regency townhouses in Leamington tend to have kitchens in former service rooms or flats.
Water across Warwickshire is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help. Regency townhouses converted to flats may have no lift, and historic town centres can have restricted parking, so delivery needs arranging in advance.
Regulations for kitchen work in Bedworth
Fitting kitchen units you have bought needs no planning permission in England, although a listed building may need listed building consent for work that affects its character. Adding sockets or spurs to an existing kitchen circuit is not notifiable but must meet BS 7671, while a new cooker circuit is notifiable under Part P and certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Gas hobs are connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers.
Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa have many listed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal changes may need listed building consent or planning permission.
Tips before you start
- Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Warwickshire; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
- Order handles in the right quantity with one or two spares; doors and drawers cannot be finished without them, and missing handles hold up sign-off.
- Ask your supplier for the full order list as well as the plan, so the fitter can check part numbers and not just unit sizes.
- Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Bedworth
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Bedworth?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Bedworth typically costs £1,500 to £2,500 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in the West Midlands. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Bedworth do you work in?
All of them. Our Warwickshire coverage takes in the whole of Bedworth, including the CV12 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Nuneaton. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
What does fit-only kitchen fitting not include?
It does not include stone worktops, new electrical circuits, moved plumbing, gas connections, tiling, flooring or plastering. Stone is templated and fitted by the stone supplier or fabricator once the base units are fixed. Fit only covers the labour for units, doors, panels, plinths and laminate worktops, with connections to the points already in place. Any of the extras can be added as separate lines on the same written quote.
What happens if parts of my kitchen are missing or damaged?
Missing or damaged parts are the supplier's to replace. We check the delivery against your plan and delivery note before fitting starts and tell you straight away if anything is short, broken or wrong, so you can raise it with the supplier while we re-plan the order of work. Units that do not depend on the missing part can often still go in, and sealed boxes make any claim simpler.
Do I need to order anything extra for a fit-only job?
Often, yes. Retail plans regularly leave out filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, legs and plinth clips, worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste. On the survey we go through your order line by line and list anything missing, so it can be ordered before the fit rather than halting it halfway through.
