Integrated appliance installation in Malmesbury
Need integrated appliance installation in Malmesbury? Tell us about the kitchen and we will arrange a free, no-obligation survey to see what the job really involves.
What prompts integrated appliance installation in Malmesbury?
If an integrated fridge or dishwasher has failed in your Malmesbury kitchen, the replacement has to fit the old housing and door, which is rarely as simple as it looks.
Some people in Malmesbury upgrade to a double oven at the same time as other appliances, which can mean a new cooker circuit from the consumer unit as well. We work throughout Malmesbury (SN16) and across the wider Wiltshire area.

House types around Malmesbury and what they mean for a kitchen
You will find thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates throughout Wiltshire. 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.
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. 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.
Regulations for kitchen work in Malmesbury
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.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Keep integrated appliances boxed until the fitter arrives, so any that do not suit their housings can be returned unopened to the retailer.
- If you are replacing a single integrated appliance in your kitchen in Wiltshire, note the old model number, as it helps find a replacement with matching dimensions.
- 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 Malmesbury
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Malmesbury?
Integrated appliance installation in Malmesbury typically costs £40 to £80 each including VAT for fitting an integrated appliance into its housing, based on prices in the South West. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Can you measure up in Malmesbury before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Malmesbury. 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.
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.
