Integrated appliance installation in Bordon
Homeowners and landlords in Bordon can book us for integrated appliance installation: fridges, freezers, dishwashers, ovens and washing machines fitted into housings with doors lined up.
When does integrated appliance installation make sense in Bordon?
If your kitchen in Bordon has a dishwasher door that sits proud or a fridge door that drops, the cause is often the fitting or the housing rather than the appliance.
Some people in Bordon upgrade to a double oven at the same time as other appliances, which can mean a new cooker circuit from the consumer unit as well. Kitchens in every part of Bordon are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Hampshire.
What is included in the work?
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Bordon covers:
- Appliance sizes checked against housings, door-fixing kits and ventilation gaps before fitting
- Leak checks, final door adjustments and each appliance switched on and tested
- Built-in ovens and microwaves fixed into housings with the required ventilation space
- Integrated fridges and freezers fixed into tall or under-counter housings
- Accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur, where needed
- Furniture doors attached with the fixed-hinge or sliding-hinge kit and aligned
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Bordon?
Use these ranges to plan your budget. They include VAT, reflect costs in the South East, and are firmed up once we have seen your Bordon kitchen. Prices in the South East usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Bordon?
Across Hampshire you will often find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.
Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.
Regulations for kitchen work in Bordon
Fitting an integrated appliance needs no approval in England. Adding a socket or switched fused spur to an existing kitchen circuit is not notifiable under Part P, though it must meet BS 7671. A new circuit for a double oven or induction hob is notifiable, so it is certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Water connections should meet the water fittings regulations, with isolation valves and suitable backflow protection.
Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.
Tips before you start
- Keep integrated appliances boxed until the fitter arrives, so any that do not suit their housings can be returned unopened to the retailer.
- Before ordering appliances for your Bordon kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
- If your Bordon home has a suspended timber floor, ask for the washing machine position to be checked for firmness before it is plumbed in.
- 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 Bordon
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Bordon?
Integrated appliance installation in Bordon typically costs £50 to £90 each including VAT for fitting an integrated appliance into its housing, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Bordon do you work in?
All of them. Our Hampshire coverage takes in the whole of Bordon, including the GU35 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Alton. 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.
Do built-in appliances need their own switch?
It is good practice under BS 7671 for built-in appliances to have an accessible means of isolation, for example a switched fused spur above the worktop, so they can be switched off without being pulled out. Some layouts use an accessible socket in a neighbouring cupboard instead. Manufacturers' instructions often cover this too, and the electrician confirms the right arrangement for your kitchen.
What is the difference between fixed-hinge and sliding-hinge integrated fridges?
On a fixed-hinge, or door-on-door, fridge the kitchen door is fixed straight onto the appliance door, so both swing together on the fridge's own hinges. On a sliding-hinge fridge the kitchen door hangs on cabinet hinges, and the appliance door is linked to it by runners that slide as it opens. Fixed-hinge models generally carry heavier doors more securely; sliding-hinge ones need the right housing and hinges.
