Kitchens in homes around Kirkby in Ashfield

You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, former mining village houses and new-build estates throughout Nottinghamshire. In Nottingham, Victorian terraces often have a narrow back kitchen, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a compact rectangular kitchen at the rear.

Inner-city terraces with permit parking and no rear access can make deliveries slow, and long worktops may have to come through a narrow hallway. Expect hard water across most of Nottinghamshire, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and an inline filter or softener can help.

Do you need approval for fit-only kitchen fitting in Kirkby in Ashfield?

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.

Where a home is listed or in a conservation area, such as parts of Nottingham and Newark, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Planning ahead

Before your kitchen is delivered to your Kirkby in Ashfield home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Kirkby in Ashfield address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
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.
If you chose stone worktops, the stone supplier templates and fits them after the base units are fixed, usually one to two weeks later.

Which parts of Kirkby in Ashfield do you work in?

All of them. Our Nottinghamshire coverage takes in the whole of Kirkby in Ashfield, including the NG17 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Sutton in Ashfield. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
