Kitchen installation in Hampton

Why do people in Hampton choose kitchen installation?

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

Some Hampton 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 your home is in Hampton or close by in West Molesey or East Molesey, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Hampton?

In and around Hampton, 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.

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. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

Regulations for kitchen work in Hampton

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.

Practical advice for Hampton homeowners

Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Hampton kitchen.
Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Hampton

How much does kitchen installation cost in Hampton?

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT in Hampton. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Can you measure up in Hampton before quoting?

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

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.

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.
