Local homes and their kitchens

You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.

What rules apply to fit-only kitchen fitting in Fulham?

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.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Getting the most from your fit-only kitchen fitting

Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Fulham address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Greater London; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
If you buy a worktop for a Fulham kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
Check the order includes filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, and enough legs and plinth clips for every base unit.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Fulham

How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Fulham?

Fit-only kitchen fitting in Fulham typically costs £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you work near Fulham as well?

Yes. As well as Fulham itself, we cover the rest of Greater London and nearby towns such as Chelsea and Putney. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.
