Integrated appliance installation in Brixton
Our integrated appliance installation service covers Brixton and nearby places such as Peckham and Pimlico, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as the first step.
Why do people in Brixton choose integrated appliance installation?
Many people in Brixton buy integrated appliances separately from the kitchen and then need someone to fit them so the doors line up with everything around them.
In a smaller Brixton kitchen, an under-counter fridge and a slimline dishwasher behind kitchen doors can make room on the worktop and floor without changing the layout. We cover all of Brixton, including the SW2 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Greater London.
What is in a typical job?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur, where needed
- Washing machines plumbed in on a stable floor with an accessible isolation valve
- Appliance sizes checked against housings, door-fixing kits and ventilation gaps before fitting
- Integrated fridges and freezers fixed into tall or under-counter housings
- Furniture doors attached with the fixed-hinge or sliding-hinge kit and aligned
- Dishwashers anchored under the worktop, levelled and connected to the supply and waste
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Brixton?
As a starting point for Brixton, these ranges include VAT at 20% and allow for typical labour costs in London. Labour in London generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Brixton?
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.
What rules apply to integrated appliance installation in Brixton?
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.
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.
Getting the most from your integrated appliance installation
- If your Brixton home has a suspended timber floor, ask for the washing machine position to be checked for firmness before it is plumbed in.
- If you are replacing a single integrated appliance in your kitchen in Greater London, note the old model number, as it helps find a replacement with matching dimensions.
- Before ordering appliances for your Brixton kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
- 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 Brixton
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Brixton?
Guide prices in Brixton are about £50 to £100 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.
Can you measure up in Brixton before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Brixton. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
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.
