Kitchen installation in Hounslow

Why kitchen installation for a Hounslow home?

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

A new layout is a common reason to change kitchens in Hounslow: moving the sink under the window, adding an island or opening up to the dining room. Homes right across Hounslow are covered, as are nearby places such as Isleworth, Heston and the villages in between.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Hounslow?

You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. 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.

Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Hounslow?

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.

Before you book kitchen installation in Hounslow

If you live in a flat in Hounslow, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Hounslow kitchen.
Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Hounslow home for a kettle and microwave.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Hounslow

How much does kitchen installation cost in Hounslow?

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

Which parts of Hounslow do you work in?

All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Hounslow, including the TW3, TW4 and TW6 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Isleworth. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
