People in Lanarkshire who have bought from a trade counter often want a fitter who will check the plan against the room before any boxes are opened.

Landlords and small developers across Lanarkshire sometimes buy units for several properties at once and want a clear fit-only price for each kitchen they need installed. We work throughout Wishaw (ML2) and across the wider Lanarkshire area.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Wishaw?

In and around Wishaw, homes range across sandstone tenement flats, four-in-a-block flats, new town houses and interwar council-built semis. New-town houses in East Kilbride and Cumbernauld often have a compact galley, while tenement and four-in-a-block flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall or at the back.

Lanarkshire's mains water is soft, so limescale is rarely an issue and taps, sinks and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Common stairs in tenements and upper four-in-a-block flats mean units are carried by hand, while new-town estates may have parking courts some distance from the door.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Wishaw

In Scotland, fitting kitchen units you have bought does not need a building warrant, and nor does most electrical work in a house, but the work must still meet the building standards and BS 7671. Ask the electrician for an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate. Gas hobs and cookers must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the kitchen should keep extract ventilation that meets standard 3.14.

The New Lanark World Heritage Site, other listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new vents, and flat owners may need neighbours' agreement.

Before you book fit-only kitchen fitting in Wishaw

Book the fit for a date after the full delivery has arrived in Lanarkshire; a split delivery is a common reason for a fit stalling halfway.
Before your kitchen is delivered to your Wishaw home, clear a dry room to store the boxes flat, away from damp garages and outbuildings.
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.
Check the order includes filler panels, end panels, plinths, cornice or light rail, and enough legs and plinth clips for every base unit.

Questions about fit-only kitchen fitting in Wishaw

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

Fit-only kitchen fitting in Wishaw typically costs £1,400 to £2,400 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, based on prices in Scotland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Wishaw?

Yes. We work across Wishaw, including the ML2 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Larkhall and Motherwell. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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 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.
