Integrated appliance installation in Devizes

When does integrated appliance installation make sense in Devizes?

A Devizes household fitting a new kitchen may want a quieter, tidier room, with the dishwasher and washing machine hidden behind doors that match the rest.

In a smaller Devizes 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 Devizes are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Wiltshire.

What is included in the work?

Appliance sizes checked against housings, door-fixing kits and ventilation gaps before fitting
Furniture doors attached with the fixed-hinge or sliding-hinge kit and aligned
Washing machines plumbed in on a stable floor with an accessible isolation valve
Accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur, where needed

Kitchens in homes around Devizes

In and around Devizes, homes range across thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.

Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance.

What rules apply to integrated appliance installation in Devizes?

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.

Listed thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

Tips before you start

Check that the furniture doors for your dishwasher and fridge are the correct height and drilled for the right fixings before fitting day comes round.
Before ordering appliances for your Devizes kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
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.
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 Devizes

How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Devizes?

For fitting an integrated appliance into its housing, budget around £40 to £80 each including VAT in Devizes. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Can you measure up in Devizes before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Devizes. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.

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.
