Fit-only kitchen fitting in Malmesbury
Our fit-only kitchen fitting service covers Malmesbury and nearby places such as Chippenham and Cirencester, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as the first step.
Is fit-only kitchen fitting right for your Malmesbury kitchen?
Some Malmesbury households have a kitchen waiting in a spare room after a fitter dropped out, and need the boxes checked and the fit planned again from the start.
If your kitchen is ordered for delivery to your Malmesbury home and the retailer does not offer fitting, fit only covers the labour to put it in properly. Our Wiltshire coverage reaches every part of Malmesbury (SN16) and out towards Chippenham.
What does the job involve?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Sink, tap and appliances connected to the existing water, waste and power points
- Free survey visit to check your plan, the room and the service positions
- Base, wall and tall units positioned, levelled on their legs and fixed to the wall
- Delivery checked against the plan and delivery note before fitting starts
- Laminate or wood worktops cut, jointed, sealed and fixed down
- Doors and drawer fronts hung and adjusted, with handles drilled and fitted

House types around Malmesbury and what they mean for a kitchen
In and around Malmesbury, homes range across thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.
Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance. Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.
Do you need approval for fit-only kitchen fitting in Malmesbury?
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.
Listed thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.
Planning ahead
- Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Wiltshire; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
- If you buy a worktop for a Malmesbury kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
- 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.
- 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 Malmesbury
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Malmesbury?
For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, budget around £1,500 to £2,600 including VAT in Malmesbury. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you work near Malmesbury as well?
Yes. As well as Malmesbury itself, we cover the rest of Wiltshire and nearby towns such as Chippenham and Cirencester. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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 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.
