Thinking about fit-only kitchen fitting in Wallington?
A Wallington kitchen with sound walls and services already in the right place suits fit only well, because the job is mainly units, worktops and connections.
Some Wallington households have a kitchen waiting in a spare room after a fitter dropped out, and need the boxes checked and the fit planned again from the start. Wallington sits about 9 miles south of Westminster, and our Greater London coverage takes in everything in between.

Local homes and their kitchens
In and around Wallington, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. 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.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. 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.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Wallington
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.
Before you book fit-only kitchen fitting in Wallington
- Leave appliance manuals in their boxes; they give the housing sizes and ventilation gaps needed to install each appliance correctly in your Wallington kitchen.
- Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Wallington address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
- If you buy a worktop for a Wallington kitchen yourself, check its length covers the longest run plus enough spare for joints and end trims.
- Store the boxes flat in a dry, heated room rather than a damp garage, so doors and carcasses do not swell or warp before fitting.
Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Wallington
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Wallington?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Wallington 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.
Do you cover all of Wallington?
Yes. We work across Wallington, including the SM6 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Carshalton and Sutton. 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.
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.
