Kitchens in homes across Mid Glamorgan
The housing mix across Mid Glamorgan includes valley terraces, post-war council-built houses, seaside bungalows and new-build estates, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Valley terraces often have a narrow kitchen in a rear extension, while post-war houses in towns such as Bridgend tend to have a compact room beside the dining area.
Soft water is usual across Mid Glamorgan, so limescale is less of a concern and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Steep valley streets and terraces built into hillsides can mean steps, tight turns and limited parking, so carrying long worktops is planned at the survey.
Many valley terraces have a long, narrow kitchen in the back extension, and owners often open it into the middle room for a kitchen-diner. Ex-council houses may need a full strip-out with new wiring, which is notifiable work.
Rules for fit-only kitchen fitting in Mid Glamorgan
In Wales a fit-only kitchen needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. The electrics are where Wales differs: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, as are new circuits, so even an extra socket for an appliance is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Gas hobs are connected by Gas Safe registered engineers only, and extraction should meet Approved Document F.
The northern fringe of the area falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for new external vents.
Before you start
- Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.
- Measure integrated appliances against the housings on the plan, including ventilation gaps, before buying them separately from the kitchen.
- If you chose stone worktops, the stone supplier templates and fits them after the base units are fixed, usually one to two weeks later.
- Worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste are easy to leave off an order.
- Leave appliance manuals in their boxes; they give the housing sizes and ventilation gaps needed to install each appliance correctly in your Mid Glamorgan kitchen.
- Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Mid Glamorgan; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Mid Glamorgan
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Mid Glamorgan?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Mid Glamorgan typically costs £1,400 to £2,300 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Wales. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover the whole of Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We carry out fit-only kitchen fitting across Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised 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.
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.
