Fit-only kitchen fitting in Golders Green
Bought a kitchen and need it fitted in Golders Green, or want us to supply one? For fit-only kitchen fitting, we start with a free survey visit and a fixed written scope.
Why do people in Golders Green choose fit-only kitchen fitting?

If your kitchen is ordered for delivery to your Golders Green home and the retailer does not offer fitting, fit only covers the labour to put it in properly. Our Greater London coverage reaches every part of Golders Green (NW11) and out towards Kilburn.

Local homes and their kitchens
In and around Golders Green, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. 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.
Regulations for kitchen work in Golders Green
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.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Leave appliance manuals in their boxes; they give the housing sizes and ventilation gaps needed to install each appliance correctly in your Golders Green kitchen.
- If you buy a worktop for a Golders Green kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
- 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.
- Measure integrated appliances against the housings on the plan, including ventilation gaps, before buying them separately from the kitchen.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Golders Green
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Golders Green?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Golders Green 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.
Can you measure up in Golders Green before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Golders Green. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised 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.
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.
