Kitchens in homes across Perth and Kinross
You will find sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, stone cottages and post-war council-built houses throughout Perth and Kinross. Victorian villas in Perth and Crieff often have a separate kitchen and former scullery, while tenement flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall.
Mains water across Perth and Kinross is soft, though some remote homes rely on private supplies that may need testing and filtering. Highland Perthshire roads can be narrow and winding, and older town streets may have limited parking, so delivery vehicle size and timing are planned ahead.
Joining a villa kitchen and old scullery into one room is a common project, with a building warrant needed if a load-bearing wall is involved. Rural cottages are often off the gas grid and suit induction cooking or an oil-fired range.
Rules for fit-only kitchen fitting in Perth and Kinross
In Scotland, fitting kitchen units you have bought does not need a building warrant, and nor does most electrical work in a house, but the work must still meet the building standards and BS 7671. Ask the electrician for an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate. Gas hobs and cookers must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the kitchen should keep extract ventilation that meets standard 3.14.
Parts of highland Perthshire lie within the Cairngorms or Loch Lomond and The Trossachs national parks, and listed buildings elsewhere may need consent for new vents.
Before you start
- Worktop joint strips or connector bolts, appliance door-fixing kits and the sink, tap and waste are easy to leave off an order.
- Do not open or assemble anything before the survey; sealed boxes make it far easier to claim missing or damaged parts from the supplier.
- Check the order includes filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, and enough legs and plinth clips for every base unit.
- Measure integrated appliances against the housings on the plan, including ventilation gaps, before buying them separately from the kitchen.
- Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Perth and Kinross; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
- 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.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Perth and Kinross
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Perth and Kinross?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Perth and Kinross typically costs £1,400 to £2,400 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Scotland. 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 Perth and Kinross?
Yes. We carry out fit-only kitchen fitting across Perth and Kinross, including Perth and Crieff. 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.
