What prompts kitchen installation in Hampshire?

Some Hampshire 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 you have bought a kitchen online or from a trade counter for your Hampshire home, we can check the delivery against the plan and fit it properly.

What does kitchen installation in Hampshire include?

The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Hampshire covers:

  • 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 Hampshire?

Typical kitchen installation prices for homes in Hampshire, including VAT and adjusted for the South East. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Expect costs in the South East to sit somewhat above UK averages, reflecting local labour rates.

Kitchens in homes across Hampshire

Across Hampshire you will often find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.

Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.

Terraced houses often have a small back kitchen behind the dining room, and owners frequently knock through to make one family space. Village cottages bring thick walls, low beams and sometimes a range cooker, all of which shape the layout.

Rules for kitchen installation in Hampshire

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.

Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.

Before you start

  • Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.
  • If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.
  • Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
  • Book the survey before you order a kitchen, so the plan is checked against real wall lengths, window heights and service positions.
  • If you live in a flat in Hampshire, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
  • Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Hampshire home for a kettle and microwave.

Questions about kitchen installation in Hampshire

How much does kitchen installation cost in Hampshire?

Guide prices in Hampshire are about £1,700 to £2,900 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 Hampshire?

Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.

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.

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.
