Integrated appliance installation in Yateley
Integrated appliance installation for Yateley homes: fridges, freezers, dishwashers, ovens and washing machines fitted into housings with doors lined up. Every job starts with a free survey visit and a written quote.
Is integrated appliance installation right for your Yateley kitchen?
In a smaller Yateley 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 Yateley kitchen, the replacement has to fit the old housing and door, which is rarely as simple as it looks. Kitchens in every part of Yateley are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Hampshire.
What is included in the work?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Leak checks, final door adjustments and each appliance switched on and tested
- Built-in ovens and microwaves fixed into housings with the required ventilation space
- Furniture doors attached with the fixed-hinge or sliding-hinge kit and aligned
- Accessible switching for built-in appliances, such as a switched fused spur, where needed
- Washing machines plumbed in on a stable floor with an accessible isolation valve
- Appliance sizes checked against housings, door-fixing kits and ventilation gaps before fitting
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Yateley?

House types around Yateley and what they mean for a kitchen
The housing mix across Hampshire includes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. 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.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Yateley
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.
Before you book integrated appliance installation in Yateley
- 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.
- Ask whether your integrated fridge is fixed-hinge or sliding-hinge before the tall housing is ordered for your Yateley kitchen, as each needs different preparation.
- If your Yateley home has a suspended timber floor, ask for the washing machine position to be checked for firmness before it is plumbed in.
- Check the installation dimensions in each appliance manual against the housing before buying; a few millimetres out can stop a door closing.
Questions about integrated appliance installation in Yateley
How much does integrated appliance installation cost in Yateley?
Integrated appliance installation in Yateley 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.
Do you work near Yateley as well?
Yes. As well as Yateley itself, we cover the rest of Hampshire and nearby towns such as Sandhurst and Crowthorne. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
Do built-in appliances need their own switch?
It is good practice under BS 7671 for built-in appliances to have an accessible means of isolation, for example a switched fused spur above the worktop, so they can be switched off without being pulled out. Some layouts use an accessible socket in a neighbouring cupboard instead. Manufacturers' instructions often cover this too, and the electrician confirms the right arrangement for your kitchen.
