When does kitchen installation make sense in Greater Manchester?

A new layout is a common reason to change kitchens in Greater Manchester: moving the sink under the window, adding an island or opening up to the dining room.

If the kitchen in your Greater Manchester home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job.

What does kitchen installation in Greater Manchester include?

Here is what usually goes into kitchen installation, adjusted to your Greater Manchester kitchen after we have measured it:

  • Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote
  • Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
  • First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
  • Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
  • Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
  • Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
  • Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
  • Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover

How much does kitchen installation cost in Greater Manchester?

These guide ranges include VAT at 20% and are adjusted for prices in the North West. We confirm your price in writing after a free survey visit. Labour rates in the North West are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.

Kitchens in homes across Greater Manchester

You will find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, converted mill and warehouse flats and post-war estate houses throughout Greater Manchester. Two-up two-down terraces often have a small back kitchen or a galley in the rear outrigger, while 1930s semis usually have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.

Mains water across Greater Manchester is mostly soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Terraced streets with back alleys, city-centre flats with booked lifts and permit parking can all affect delivery timing and how long worktops are carried in.

A common terrace project is opening the back kitchen into the middle room to make a kitchen-diner. Converted mill and warehouse flats often have open-plan kitchens against exposed brick or concrete, which affects how units, shelves and extraction are fixed.

Rules for kitchen installation in Greater Manchester

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 mill conversions and homes in conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and apartment owners usually need the freeholder's or managing agent's consent.

Before you start

  • Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.
  • Leave every box sealed until the fit; parts get lost or damaged once packaging is opened and stacked around the house.
  • Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
  • Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.
  • Before you order a kitchen for your Greater Manchester home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
  • If your house in Greater Manchester is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.

Questions about kitchen installation in Greater Manchester

How much does kitchen installation cost in Greater Manchester?

Guide prices in Greater Manchester are about £1,400 to £2,400 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 the whole of Greater Manchester?

Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Oldham, Wigan and Bolton. Every job starts with a free survey visit and 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.

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.
