Kitchen installation in Felling

When does kitchen installation make sense in Felling?

Some Felling households already have a kitchen they like the look of but not the fit: doors out of line, gaps at the wall and a worktop that has lifted.

If the kitchen in your Felling home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job. Homes right across Felling are covered, as are nearby places such as Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and the villages in between.

What does the job involve?

Your written quote lists everything included. For kitchen installation, that normally means:

Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout

Kitchens in homes around Felling

You will find tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war council-built houses throughout Tyne and Wear. Tyneside flats often have a narrow kitchen in the rear offshoot, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a small square kitchen at the back.

Hardness varies across Tyne and Wear, from fairly soft around Newcastle to harder in parts of Sunderland, so check with your supplier before choosing a filter. Back lanes behind terraced streets can help deliveries, but upper Tyneside flats have their own internal stair, so long worktops need careful handling.

Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Felling?

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.

In conservation areas and listed buildings, such as parts of central Newcastle and Tynemouth, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Worth knowing before the fit

Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Felling home for a kettle and microwave.
If you live in a flat in Felling, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
If your house in Tyne and Wear is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Book the survey before you order a kitchen, so the plan is checked against real wall lengths, window heights and service positions.

Questions about kitchen installation in Felling

How much does kitchen installation cost in Felling?

Guide prices in Felling are about £1,400 to £2,200 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 Felling do you work in?

All of them. Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in the whole of Felling, including the NE10 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Gateshead. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
