What kind of kitchens do we fit in Aberdeen?
Typical homes in this part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire include granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.
Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries. Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner.
Do you need approval for integrated appliance installation in Aberdeen?
In Scotland, fitting integrated appliances and adding appliance sockets or spurs in a house does not normally need a building warrant, but the electrics must meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for an electrical certificate. Water connections should follow Scottish Water's byelaws on water fittings, including isolation valves and backflow protection. Each manufacturer's instructions on fixing and ventilation still apply.
Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.
Getting the most from your integrated appliance installation
- Ask for isolation valves and switches to stay reachable after fitting in your Aberdeen home, so an appliance can be turned off without removing it.
- Before ordering appliances for your Aberdeen kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
- Keep integrated appliances boxed until the fitter arrives, so any that do not suit their housings can be returned unopened to the retailer.
- Integrated fridges use either fixed-hinge (door-on-door) or sliding-hinge fixing, and the housing and furniture door must suit the type you choose.
Questions about integrated appliance installation in Aberdeen
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Aberdeen?
Guide prices in Aberdeen are about £40 to £80 each including VAT for fitting an integrated appliance into its housing. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Which parts of Aberdeen do you work in?
All of them. Our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage takes in the whole of Aberdeen, including the AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and AB16 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Stonehaven. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
Do integrated fridges need ventilation?
Yes. Fridges and freezers give off heat as they run, so the housing must leave the airflow route the manufacturer specifies, often a gap behind the appliance and a vent in the plinth or above the housing. Without it the appliance works harder, uses more energy and may struggle to keep food cold. We check the gaps against the installation instructions before fitting.
Why does an integrated dishwasher need fixing under the worktop?
Because a dishwasher can tip forward when the loaded door and racks are pulled out, and it moves slightly as it runs. It is anchored with the brackets supplied, usually to the underside of the worktop or to the side panels, then levelled so its door lines up with the drawer fronts beside it. Stone worktops usually need the side fixings rather than screws from below.
Can you fit integrated appliances I have bought separately?
Yes. Appliances bought from any retailer can be fitted, as long as they match the housings. Send us the model numbers before the survey so we can check the installation dimensions, door-fixing method and connections. If an appliance does not suit the housing, it is far easier to exchange it unopened than to alter the units around it.
