Kitchen installation in Devizes

Thinking about kitchen installation in Devizes?

Many people in Wiltshire replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty.

Landlords and sellers across Wiltshire often fit a new kitchen because it is one of the first rooms buyers and tenants judge a home by. Devizes sits about 17 miles south-west of Swindon, and our Wiltshire coverage takes in everything in between.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Devizes?

In and around Devizes, homes range across thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates. 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.

What rules apply to kitchen installation in Devizes?

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 thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.

Before you book kitchen installation in Devizes

If you live in a flat in Devizes, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
If your house in Wiltshire is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Before you order a kitchen for your Devizes home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.

Questions about kitchen installation in Devizes

How much does kitchen installation cost in Devizes?

Guide prices in Devizes are about £1,500 to £2,600 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Which parts of Devizes do you work in?

All of them. Our Wiltshire coverage takes in the whole of Devizes, including the SN10 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Melksham. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.

What order does a kitchen installation follow?

The usual sequence is strip-out, any structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, base and wall units, worktops, second fix of sockets, sink, tap and appliances, then splashbacks, flooring and decorating. Some floors go down before the units and some after, depending on the floor type, which we agree at the survey.
