Fitting kitchens in older and newer Feltham homes

Across Greater London you will often find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, and each shapes the kitchen differently. 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.

Regulations for kitchen work in Feltham

Assembling and fitting a flat-pack kitchen needs no planning permission in England; if the building is listed, listed building consent may be needed where the work affects its character. Electrics must meet BS 7671: extra sockets or spurs on an existing kitchen circuit are not notifiable, but a new cooker or induction circuit is notifiable under Part P. Gas hobs are connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers, and any new cooker hood should meet Approved Document F.

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

If you are building some units yourself before the fit, leave the back panels and hinges for us to check before anything is fixed to the wall.
Stack flat-pack boxes flat on a level floor rather than on end, so that long side panels do not bow before they are assembled.
If your Feltham home has plasterboard walls, mention it when you book the survey, as wall units may need extra fixings or timber behind the board.
Clear a space next to the kitchen for assembly; carcasses need a flat floor and room to be checked for square before fitting.

Questions about flat-pack kitchen fitting in Feltham

How much does flat-pack kitchen fitting cost in Feltham?

Flat-pack kitchen fitting in Feltham typically costs £2,300 to £3,900 including VAT for a small flat-pack kitchen, built and fitted, 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 Feltham?

Yes. We work across Feltham, including the TW13 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Hanworth and Ashford, Surrey. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Are flat-pack wall units strong enough once they are hung?

Yes, when they are assembled and hung correctly. Wall units carry their load through the back panel and the hanging fixings, so the back must be fully fitted and the rail or brackets fixed into the wall with fixings that suit its construction. Plasterboard walls may need timber noggins or specialist fixings behind the board. We check the wall types at the survey and plan the fixings before the fit.

Can you fit a flat-pack kitchen I have already started building?

Yes, usually. We check any carcasses you have assembled for square, tight joints and properly fitted back panels before they are used, and rebuild any that are not right. Units built in another room are moved carefully, as a carcass without its worktop and wall fixings is easy to twist out of shape. We look at them on the survey and price the work accordingly.

What is the difference between flat-pack and rigid kitchen units?

Rigid units arrive factory-assembled, usually glued and dowelled, so they are ready to fix. Flat-pack units arrive as boards and fittings in a box and are built on site. Both can make a good kitchen. Flat-pack is cheaper to buy and easier to carry into tight spaces, while rigid units save assembly time and come square from the factory, which is why the fitting labour is a little lower.
