Kitchen installation in Camden Town

When does kitchen installation make sense in Camden Town?

Some Camden Town households already have a kitchen they like the look of but not the fit: doors out of line, gaps at the wall and a worktop that has lifted.

If you have bought a home in Camden Town with a small galley or a dated back kitchen, a new installation can make far better use of the same space. Kitchens in every part of Camden Town are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Greater London.

House types around Camden Town and what they mean for a kitchen

You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. 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.

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

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Camden Town

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.

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.

Worth knowing before the fit

Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Camden Town kitchen.
If your house in Greater London is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

Questions about kitchen installation in Camden Town

How much does kitchen installation cost in Camden Town?

Kitchen installation in Camden Town typically costs £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Camden Town do you work in?

All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Camden Town, including the NW1 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Holloway. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.

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.
