Kitchen installation in Liverpool

Who usually needs kitchen installation in Liverpool?

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

If you have bought a kitchen online or from a trade counter for your Liverpool home, we can check the delivery against the plan and fit it properly. We work throughout Liverpool (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6) and across the wider Merseyside area.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Liverpool?

In and around Liverpool, homes range across Victorian terraces, Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s semis and converted warehouse flats. Two-up two-down terraces often have a small back kitchen off the living room, while 1930s semis tend to have a separate kitchen with space to open into a dining room.

Terraced streets with back entries, city-centre flats with booked lifts and permit parking zones can all affect how and when a kitchen is delivered. Merseyside's mains water is soft, so limescale is rarely a big issue and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner for longer.

What rules apply to kitchen installation in Liverpool?

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 and listed buildings are common in older parts of Liverpool and the Wirral, so a new vent on a visible wall may need consent.

Getting the most from your kitchen installation

Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
Check that your Liverpool delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.

Questions about kitchen installation in Liverpool

How much does kitchen installation cost in Liverpool?

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £1,400 to £2,400 including VAT in Liverpool. That reflects typical costs in the North West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Liverpool do you work in?

All of them. Our Merseyside coverage takes in the whole of Liverpool, including the L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6 postcode districts, as well as surrounding towns such as Kirkdale. 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.

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.

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.
