What kind of kitchens do we fit in Roehampton?

The housing mix across Greater London includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. 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.

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. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

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

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.

Worth knowing before the fit

Before your kitchen is delivered to your Roehampton home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
If you buy a worktop for a Roehampton kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Greater London; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
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 Roehampton

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

Fit-only kitchen fitting in Roehampton typically costs £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Can you measure up in Roehampton before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Roehampton. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.
