What kind of kitchens do we fit in Newtown?

You will find stone farmhouses, timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces and post-war bungalows throughout Powys. Farmhouses and stone cottages often have a large older kitchen or a small lean-to, while Victorian terraces in Brecon and Llandrindod Wells tend to have a narrow back galley.

Long distances, single-track roads and farm tracks can limit delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths, delivery times and waste removal need planning well ahead. Powys mains water is generally soft, though many rural homes rely on private supplies, which may need testing and filtering before a boiling water tap is fitted.

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

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.

Homes inside Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

Practical advice for Newtown homeowners

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.
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.
Leave appliance manuals in their boxes; they give the housing sizes and ventilation gaps needed to install each appliance correctly in your Newtown kitchen.
Check the order includes filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, and enough legs and plinth clips for every base unit.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Newtown

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

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, budget around £1,400 to £2,300 including VAT in Newtown. That reflects typical costs in Wales; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Newtown do you work in?

All of them. Our Powys coverage takes in the whole of Newtown, including the SY16 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Welshpool. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
