Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Trowbridge, homes range across thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.

Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance.

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

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.

Listed thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

Tips before you start

Leave appliance manuals in their boxes; they give the housing sizes and ventilation gaps needed to install each appliance correctly in your Trowbridge kitchen.
Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Trowbridge address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
If you buy a worktop for a Trowbridge kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
If you chose stone worktops, the stone supplier templates and fits them after the base units are fixed, usually one to two weeks later.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Trowbridge

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

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, budget around £1,500 to £2,600 including VAT in Trowbridge. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you work near Trowbridge as well?

Yes. As well as Trowbridge itself, we cover the rest of Wiltshire and nearby towns such as Melksham and Bath. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.

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.
