Integrated appliance installation in Feltham

Why do people in Feltham choose integrated appliance installation?

In a smaller Feltham kitchen, an under-counter fridge and a slimline dishwasher behind kitchen doors can make room on the worktop and floor without changing the layout.

If an integrated fridge or dishwasher has failed in your Feltham kitchen, the replacement has to fit the old housing and door, which is rarely as simple as it looks. Our Greater London coverage reaches every part of Feltham (TW13) and out towards Hanworth.

Fitting kitchens in older and newer Feltham homes

Typical homes in this part of Greater London include Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. 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.

Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. 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.

Regulations for kitchen work in Feltham

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.

Tips before you start

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.
Before ordering appliances for your Feltham kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
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.
Plan accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur above the worktop, so they can be isolated without pulling them out.

Questions about integrated appliance installation in Feltham

How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Feltham?

For fitting an integrated appliance into its housing, budget around £50 to £100 each including VAT in Feltham. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Feltham do you work in?

All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Feltham, including the TW13 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Hanworth. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
