Homeowners and landlords in Burnham-on-Sea can book us for integrated appliance installation: fridges, freezers, dishwashers, ovens and washing machines fitted into housings with doors lined up.
Thinking about integrated appliance installation in Burnham-on-Sea?
If an integrated fridge or dishwasher has failed in your Burnham-on-Sea kitchen, the replacement has to fit the old housing and door, which is rarely as simple as it looks.
In a smaller Burnham-on-Sea kitchen, an under-counter fridge and a slimline dishwasher behind kitchen doors can make room on the worktop and floor without changing the layout. Kitchens in every part of Burnham-on-Sea are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Somerset.

Local homes and their kitchens
You will find Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, stone cottages and post-war estate houses throughout Somerset. Georgian townhouses in Bath often have kitchens at lower-ground level or in flats on upper floors, while Victorian terraces in Taunton and Yeovil tend to have a narrow back galley.
Somerset's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help keep them working well. Steep streets and controlled parking in Bath, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow village lanes can each make delivering worktops slower.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Burnham-on-Sea
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.
Bath is a World Heritage city with many listed buildings, and homes in Exmoor National Park or conservation areas may need consent for new vents or internal changes.
Getting the most from your integrated appliance installation
- Before ordering appliances for your Burnham-on-Sea 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.
- Make sure the plinths in front of fridges and freezers include the ventilation grille or gap the appliance manufacturer asks for, not a solid panel.
- Washing machines need a firm, level floor; a springy timber floor or an unstable plinth can let the machine move and vibrate during a spin.
Questions about integrated appliance installation in Burnham-on-Sea
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Burnham-on-Sea?
Guide prices in Burnham-on-Sea 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.
Do you work near Burnham-on-Sea as well?
Yes. As well as Burnham-on-Sea itself, we cover the rest of Somerset and nearby towns such as Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
