What prompts fit-only kitchen fitting in Willesden?
A Willesden kitchen with sound walls and services already in the right place suits fit only well, because the job is mainly units, worktops and connections.

Local homes and their kitchens
You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. 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 Willesden?
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 Willesden
- Ask your supplier for the full order list as well as the plan, so the fitter can check part numbers and not just unit sizes.
- 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.
- Photograph each pallet and any damaged box as it arrives at your Willesden address, and note the damage on the delivery note before the driver leaves.
- 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 Willesden
How much does fit-only kitchen fitting cost in Willesden?
Fit-only kitchen fitting in Willesden 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.
Which parts of Willesden do you work in?
All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Willesden, including the NW10 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Harlesden. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
