Kitchen installation in Fulham

What prompts kitchen installation in Fulham?

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

If you have bought a kitchen online or from a trade counter for your Fulham home, we can check the delivery against the plan and fit it properly. We cover all of Fulham, including the SW6 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Greater London.

Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe

Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Fulham, homes range across 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.

What rules apply to kitchen installation in Fulham?

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.

Worth knowing before the fit

Check that your Fulham delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
Before you order a kitchen for your Fulham 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 Fulham kitchen.
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 Fulham

How much does kitchen installation cost in Fulham?

Kitchen installation in Fulham typically costs £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Can you measure up in Fulham before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Fulham. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.

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.
