Kitchens in homes around Fraserburgh
The housing mix across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire includes granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.
Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner. Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Fraserburgh
In Scotland, fitting kitchen units you have bought does not need a building warrant, and nor does most electrical work in a house, but the work must still meet the building standards and BS 7671. Ask the electrician for an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate. Gas hobs and cookers must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the kitchen should keep extract ventilation that meets standard 3.14.
Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.
Getting the most from your fit-only kitchen fitting
- 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.
- Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Fraserburgh address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
- 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.
- Worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste are easy to leave off an order.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Fraserburgh

Which parts of Fraserburgh do you work in?
All of them. Our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage takes in the whole of Fraserburgh, including the AB43 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Peterhead. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
Should I unpack my kitchen before the fitter arrives?
No. Leave everything in its packaging until fitting day. Sealed boxes protect doors and panels from knocks and dust, keep small parts with the right unit, and show that any damage happened before delivery. We open and check the boxes against the plan as the fit begins. The one exception is anything your supplier asks you to inspect on delivery, which you should check and report within their deadline.
