Kitchens in homes across Dyfed
You will find stone cottages, Victorian terraces, farmhouses and post-war bungalows throughout Dyfed. Stone cottages and farmhouses often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while terraces in Llanelli and Aberystwyth tend to have a narrow galley at the back.
Mains water across most of Dyfed is soft, so limescale is rarely a big problem, though farms on private supplies may need their own filtering. Rural farm tracks, steep coastal lanes and long distances between villages can affect delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and timing need planning ahead.
Farmhouses and cottages usually have thick stone walls and uneven floors that need careful scribing, and many rural homes are off the gas grid, so cooking is often electric, LPG or a range. Holiday lets near the coast often need a durable, easy-clean kitchen planned around changeover days.
Rules for fit-only kitchen fitting in Dyfed
In Wales a fit-only kitchen needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. The electrics are where Wales differs: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, as are new circuits, so even an extra socket for an appliance is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Gas hobs are connected by Gas Safe registered engineers only, and extraction should meet Approved Document F.
Homes in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park or Bannau Brycheiniog, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or historic alterations.
Before you start
- Check the order includes filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, and enough legs and plinth clips for every base unit.
- Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.
- Worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste are easy to leave off an order.
- Store the boxes flat in a dry, heated room rather than a damp garage, so doors and carcasses do not swell or warp before fitting.
- Keep using the old kitchen until fitting day if you can, and ask for its removal and disposal to be priced on the same quote.
- 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.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Dyfed
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Dyfed?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Dyfed typically costs £1,400 to £2,300 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Wales. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover the whole of Dyfed?
Yes. We carry out fit-only kitchen fitting across Dyfed, including Llanelli, Ammanford, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
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.
