Fit-only kitchen fitting in Nuneaton
Whether your Nuneaton kitchen is a narrow galley or an open-plan room, fit-only kitchen fitting follows the same careful order: survey, written scope, fit and a final check together.
Is fit-only kitchen fitting right for your Nuneaton kitchen?
People in Warwickshire who have bought from a trade counter often want a fitter who will check the plan against the room before any boxes are opened.
A Nuneaton kitchen with sound walls and services already in the right place suits fit only well, because the job is mainly units, worktops and connections. If your home is in Nuneaton or close by in Bedworth or Hinckley, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What is included in the work?
Your written quote lists everything included. For fit-only kitchen fitting, that normally means:
- Base, wall and tall units positioned, levelled on their legs and fixed to the wall
- Free survey visit to check your plan, the room and the service positions
- Sink, tap and appliances connected to the existing water, waste and power points
- Packaging and offcuts cleared, with removal of the old kitchen available as an extra
- Doors and drawer fronts hung and adjusted, with handles drilled and fitted
- Laminate or wood worktops cut, jointed, sealed and fixed down

Kitchens in homes around Nuneaton
You will find Regency townhouses, timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces and 1930s semis throughout Warwickshire. Victorian terraces in Nuneaton and Rugby often have a narrow back kitchen, while Regency townhouses in Leamington tend to have kitchens in former service rooms or flats.
Regency townhouses converted to flats may have no lift, and historic town centres can have restricted parking, so delivery needs arranging in advance. Water across Warwickshire is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help.
What rules apply to fit-only kitchen fitting in Nuneaton?
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.
Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa have many listed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal changes may need listed building consent or planning permission.
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.
- If you buy a worktop for a Nuneaton kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
- Before your kitchen is delivered to your Nuneaton home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
- 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 Nuneaton
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Nuneaton?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Nuneaton typically costs £1,500 to £2,500 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in the West Midlands. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover all of Nuneaton?
Yes. We work across Nuneaton, including the CV11 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Bedworth and Hinckley. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
