Kitchen installation in Farnborough

Thinking about kitchen installation in Farnborough?

When a Farnborough kitchen needs new electrics, plumbing and tiling as well as units, one contract keeps those trades in the right order.

Many people in Hampshire replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty. If your home is in Farnborough or close by in Camberley or Aldershot, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

Local homes and their kitchens

The housing mix across Hampshire includes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.

Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Farnborough

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.

Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.

Planning ahead

Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Farnborough kitchen.
If you live in a flat in Farnborough, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
If your house in Hampshire is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Leave every box sealed until the fit; parts get lost or damaged once packaging is opened and stacked around the house.

Questions about kitchen installation in Farnborough

How much does kitchen installation cost in Farnborough?

Kitchen installation in Farnborough typically costs £1,700 to £2,900 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Farnborough do you work in?

All of them. Our Hampshire coverage takes in the whole of Farnborough, including the GU11 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Camberley. 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.

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.

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.
