Kitchen installation in Faversham

Is kitchen installation right for your Faversham kitchen?

If you have bought a home in Faversham with a small galley or a dated back kitchen, a new installation can make far better use of the same space.

When a Faversham kitchen needs new electrics, plumbing and tiling as well as units, one contract keeps those trades in the right order. Faversham sits about 16 miles east of Maidstone, and our Kent coverage takes in everything in between.

Local homes and their kitchens

The housing mix across Kent includes Victorian terraces, weatherboarded cottages, 1930s semis and oast house conversions, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Victorian terraces in the Medway towns and along the coast often have a narrow back-addition kitchen, while 1930s semis usually have a small kitchen beside a separate dining room.

Water across Kent is hard, so limescale builds up quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Seaside terraces, permit parking and narrow village lanes can each make deliveries slower, so the route for long worktops is best checked at the survey.

Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Faversham?

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 weatherboarded and timber-framed cottages, oast conversions and homes in conservation areas such as historic Canterbury may need consent for new external vents.

Getting the most from your kitchen installation

Before you order a kitchen for your Faversham home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
If your house in Kent is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Faversham kitchen.
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 Faversham

How much does kitchen installation cost in Faversham?

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £1,700 to £2,900 including VAT in Faversham. 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 Faversham?

Yes. We work across Faversham, including the ME13 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Whitstable and Sittingbourne. 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.

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.
