Kitchen installation in Feltham

Why kitchen installation for a Feltham home?

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

A new layout is a common reason to change kitchens in Feltham: moving the sink under the window, adding an island or opening up to the dining room. Kitchens in every part of Feltham are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Greater London.

First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote

Kitchens in homes around Feltham

Typical homes in this part of Greater London include Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.

Regulations for kitchen work in Feltham

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.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Planning ahead

Before you order a kitchen for your Feltham home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Feltham home for a kettle and microwave.
If your house in Greater London is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

Questions about kitchen installation in Feltham

How much does kitchen installation cost in Feltham?

Guide prices in Feltham are about £2,000 to £3,200 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.

Do you cover all of Feltham?

Yes. We work across Feltham, including the TW13 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Hanworth and Ashford, Surrey. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
