What kind of kitchens do we fit in Pontypridd?
Typical homes in this part of Mid Glamorgan include valley terraces, post-war council-built houses, seaside bungalows and new-build estates. Valley terraces often have a narrow kitchen in a rear extension, while post-war houses in towns such as Bridgend tend to have a compact room beside the dining area.
Steep valley streets and terraces built into hillsides can mean steps, tight turns and limited parking, so carrying long worktops is planned at the survey. Soft water is usual across Mid Glamorgan, so limescale is less of a concern and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Pontypridd
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.
The northern fringe of the area falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for new external vents.
Getting the most from your fit-only kitchen fitting
- Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Mid Glamorgan; 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.
- Before your kitchen is delivered to your Pontypridd home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
- 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 Pontypridd
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Pontypridd?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Pontypridd typically costs £1,400 to £2,300 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Wales. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Pontypridd do you work in?
All of them. Our Mid Glamorgan coverage takes in the whole of Pontypridd, including the CF37 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Tonypandy. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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 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.
