Kitchen installation in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Is kitchen installation right for your Ashton-in-Makerfield kitchen?

If you have bought a kitchen online or from a trade counter for your Ashton-in-Makerfield home, we can check the delivery against the plan and fit it properly.

Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Ashton-in-Makerfield, homes range across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, converted mill and warehouse flats and post-war estate houses. Two-up two-down terraces often have a small back kitchen or a galley in the rear outrigger, while 1930s semis usually have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.

Terraced streets with back alleys, city-centre flats with booked lifts and permit parking can all affect delivery timing and how long worktops are carried in. Mains water across Greater Manchester is mostly soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Fitting a new kitchen does not need planning permission in England. Listed building consent may be needed if the building is listed, and a new vent through the outside wall of a flat may need planning permission and the freeholder's consent. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and new circuits or a new consumer unit are notifiable under Part P, so they are certified through a competent person scheme or building control. New extraction should be designed to Approved Document F rates (about 30 litres per second for a hood ducted outside), a refit should not leave ventilation worse than before, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect a gas hob.

Listed mill conversions and homes in conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and apartment owners usually need the freeholder's or managing agent's consent.

Before you book kitchen installation in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Ashton-in-Makerfield home for a kettle and microwave.
Check that your Ashton-in-Makerfield delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
If you live in a flat in Ashton-in-Makerfield, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

Which parts of Ashton-in-Makerfield do you work in?

All of them. Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in the whole of Ashton-in-Makerfield, including the WN4 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Golborne. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

Can I use my kitchen during the installation?

Not for most of it. Once the old kitchen comes out there is no sink or cooker until the new one is connected, usually a week or two for an average kitchen. We plan the job so the water and power are off for as little time as possible, and we tell you which days will be the most disruptive.

Will you fit a kitchen I have bought myself?

Yes. We fit kitchens bought from any retailer, trade counter or online supplier, flat-pack or rigid. On the survey we check the plan, and before fitting we check the delivery against it. Missing or damaged parts are for the supplier to replace, and we tell you straight away so the fit can be re-planned.

How long does it take to install a kitchen?

Most kitchens take three to twelve days on site to fit, depending on the number of units and whether services are moving. Allow one to three weeks overall once electrics, plumbing, tiling and flooring are included, plus one to two weeks between templating and fitting if you choose stone worktops.
