Is kitchen installation right for your Lancashire kitchen?

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

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

What does kitchen installation in Lancashire include?

Here is what usually goes into kitchen installation, adjusted to your Lancashire 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 Lancashire?

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 Lancashire

You will find stone-built mill-town terraces, red-brick Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and seaside bungalows throughout Lancashire. Mill-town terraces often have a small back kitchen opening onto a yard, while seaside bungalows and 1930s semis tend to have a square kitchen at the rear.

Most of Lancashire has soft mains water, so heavy limescale is rare and taps, sinks and appliances stay cleaner for longer. Back alleys and yards can help with deliveries, though narrow yard gates and steep hill streets may limit how long worktops come in.

Opening the back kitchen into the middle room is a common way to gain space in a mill-town terrace. Bungalows on the Fylde coast are often refitted for easier living, with better lighting, more drawers and appliances at a comfortable height.

Rules for kitchen installation in Lancashire

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.

Where an older town-centre home is listed or in a conservation area, a new vent on a front wall may need consent, and flats in converted houses usually need freeholder approval.

Before you start

  • Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.
  • 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.
  • Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.
  • Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Lancashire home for a kettle and microwave.
  • Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.

Questions about kitchen installation in Lancashire

How much does kitchen installation cost in Lancashire?

Guide prices in Lancashire 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 Lancashire?

Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley, Blackburn and Blackpool. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.

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.

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.
