Kitchen installation in Farnham
We carry out kitchen installation in Farnham, whether the kitchen came from a retailer, a trade counter or from us, and we put the price in writing before work starts.
Why do people in Farnham choose kitchen installation?
Many people in Surrey replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty.
If the kitchen in your Farnham home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job. We work throughout Farnham (GU9) and across the wider Surrey area.
What does the job involve?
Here is what usually goes into kitchen installation, adjusted to your Farnham kitchen after we have measured it:
- First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
- Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
- Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
- Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote
- Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
How much does kitchen installation cost in Farnham?

House types around Farnham and what they mean for a kitchen
Typical homes in this part of Surrey include 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates. 1930s semis often have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room, while larger detached houses and Edwardian villas may have room for an island or a separate utility.
Surrey's water is hard across most of the county, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Private roads, long drives and village lanes can be awkward for large lorries, while town-centre flats may need lift bookings and parking permits for delivery day.
What rules apply to kitchen installation in Farnham?
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 buildings and conservation areas in older towns and villages may need consent for new vents, and flats in managed blocks usually need the freeholder's consent first.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Before you order a kitchen for your Farnham home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
- Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Farnham kitchen.
- Check that your Farnham delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
- 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 Farnham
How much does kitchen installation cost in Farnham?
For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £1,700 to £2,900 including VAT in Farnham. That reflects typical costs in the South East; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover all of Farnham?
Yes. We work across Farnham, including the GU9 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Aldershot and Fleet. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
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.
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.
