Fitting kitchens in older and newer New Malden homes
You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. 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 New Malden
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
- Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your New Malden address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
- Before your kitchen is delivered to your New Malden home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
- 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.
- Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in New Malden
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in New Malden?
Guide prices in New Malden are about £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Do you work near New Malden as well?
Yes. As well as New Malden itself, we cover the rest of Greater London and nearby towns such as Worcester Park and Surbiton. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
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.
