Kitchen installation in Kingswood

Why do people in Kingswood choose kitchen installation?

Landlords and sellers across Gloucestershire often fit a new kitchen because it is one of the first rooms buyers and tenants judge a home by.

Many people in Gloucestershire replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty. Kitchens in every part of Kingswood are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

What is included in the work?

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

Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote
Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Kingswood?

Across Gloucestershire you will often find cotswold stone cottages, Regency townhouses, Victorian terraces and post-war estate houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Cotswold stone cottages often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while Regency townhouses in Cheltenham may have a long kitchen at garden level or in a former basement.

Hard water is the norm across most of Gloucestershire, so expect limescale on taps and appliances and think about a filter for a boiling water tap. Stone villages with narrow lanes and limited parking can make deliveries slow, and townhouse flats over several floors may mean carrying units up stairs.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Kingswood

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 stone cottages, Cheltenham's Regency terraces and homes in conservation areas may need consent before new vents are cut or historic features are removed.

Tips before you start

Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
Before you order a kitchen for your Kingswood 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 Kingswood kitchen.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Kingswood

How much does kitchen installation cost in Kingswood?

Guide prices in Kingswood are about £1,500 to £2,600 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 all of Kingswood?

Yes. We work across Kingswood, including the BS15 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Keynsham and Yate. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.

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.
