What kind of kitchens do we fit in Ebbw Vale?

In and around Ebbw Vale, homes range across valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.

Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier. Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Ebbw Vale

In Wales, fitting a kitchen does not need planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. Part P is wider than in England: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable, as well as new circuits and consumer units, so most kitchen electrics are certified through a competent person scheme or building control. New extraction should be designed to the Welsh Approved Document F rates, a refit should not leave ventilation worse than before, and gas work is for Gas Safe registered engineers only.

The northern edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.

Planning ahead

If your house in Gwent 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 Ebbw Vale home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.

Questions about kitchen installation in Ebbw Vale

How much does kitchen installation cost in Ebbw Vale?

Kitchen installation in Ebbw Vale typically costs £1,400 to £2,300 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in Wales. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Ebbw Vale?

Yes. We work across Ebbw Vale, including the NP23 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Merthyr Tydfil and Blackwood. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.

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.
