Need integrated appliance installation in Havant? Tell us about the kitchen and we will arrange a free, no-obligation survey to see what the job really involves.
When does integrated appliance installation make sense in Havant?
Landlords in Hampshire choosing integrated appliances for a rental kitchen want them fixed securely and plumbed with accessible valves, so a later replacement is straightforward.
If your kitchen in Havant 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. Kitchens in every part of Havant are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Hampshire.
What is included in the work?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For integrated appliance installation in Havant it usually covers:
- Integrated fridges and freezers fixed into tall or under-counter housings
- Leak checks, final door adjustments and each appliance switched on and tested
- Washing machines plumbed in on a stable floor with an accessible isolation valve
- Dishwashers anchored under the worktop, levelled and connected to the supply and waste
- 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 Havant?

Local homes and their kitchens
You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages throughout Hampshire. 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.
Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle. 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.
Do you need approval for integrated appliance installation in Havant?
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.
Planning ahead
- Before ordering appliances for your Havant kitchen, download each installation manual and compare the stated housing dimensions with your kitchen plan.
- Ask for isolation valves and switches to stay reachable after fitting in your Havant home, so an appliance can be turned off without removing it.
- 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 Havant
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Havant?
Integrated appliance installation in Havant 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 Havant do you work in?
All of them. Our Hampshire coverage takes in the whole of Havant, including the PO9 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Emsworth. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
