Fit-only kitchen fitting in Morden

Why do people in Morden choose fit-only kitchen fitting?

If you have chosen stone worktops for a Morden kitchen, fit only gets the base units level and fixed so they are ready when the fabricator arrives to template.

If your kitchen is ordered for delivery to your Morden home and the retailer does not offer fitting, fit only covers the labour to put it in properly. We work throughout Morden (SM4) and across the wider Greater London area.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Morden homes

Typical homes in this part of Greater London include 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.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Morden

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.

Planning ahead

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.
Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Morden address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
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.
Worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste are easy to leave off an order.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Morden

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

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, budget around £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT in Morden. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you cover all of Morden?

Yes. We work across Morden, including the SM4 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Mitcham and Wimbledon. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
