Kitchen installation in Cirencester

Is kitchen installation right for your Cirencester kitchen?

If the kitchen in your Cirencester home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job.

Some Cirencester 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 your home is in Cirencester or close by in Stroud or Malmesbury, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

House types around Cirencester and what they mean for a kitchen

Across Gloucestershire you will often find cotswold stone cottages, Regency townhouses, Victorian terraces and post-war estate houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Cotswold stone cottages often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while Regency townhouses in Cheltenham may have a long kitchen at garden level or in a former basement.

Hard water is the norm across most of Gloucestershire, so expect limescale on taps and appliances and think about a filter for a boiling water tap. Stone villages with narrow lanes and limited parking can make deliveries slow, and townhouse flats over several floors may mean carrying units up stairs.

Regulations for kitchen work in Cirencester

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 stone cottages, Cheltenham's Regency terraces and homes in conservation areas may need consent before new vents are cut or historic features are removed.

Planning ahead

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 Cirencester kitchen.
Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Cirencester home for a kettle and microwave.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Cirencester

How much does kitchen installation cost in Cirencester?

Kitchen installation in Cirencester typically costs £1,500 to £2,600 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, 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.

Which parts of Cirencester do you work in?

All of them. Our Gloucestershire coverage takes in the whole of Cirencester, including the GL7 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Stroud. 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.

Do I need building regulations approval for a new kitchen?

Usually only for parts of the job. Fitting units does not need approval, but new electrical circuits are notifiable in England and Wales, removing a load-bearing wall needs approval everywhere, and in Scotland structural work needs a building warrant. Gas work must always be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

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.
