Is kitchen installation right for your Marlborough kitchen?
If you have bought a home in Marlborough with a small galley or a dated back kitchen, a new installation can make far better use of the same space.
If the kitchen in your Marlborough home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job. Homes right across Marlborough are covered, as are nearby places such as Swindon, Devizes and the villages in between.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Marlborough?
In and around Marlborough, homes range across thatched and stone cottages, Victorian railway terraces, post-war estate houses and new-build estates. Railway terraces in Swindon often have a narrow back kitchen, while stone and thatched cottages in the villages tend to have small kitchens with low ceilings.
Village lanes and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and Salisbury's historic centre has limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance. Wiltshire's water is hard, much of it from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.
Regulations for kitchen work in Marlborough
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 thatched cottages, Salisbury's historic centre and other conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.
Practical advice for Marlborough homeowners
- If your house in Wiltshire is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
- If you live in a flat in Marlborough, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
- Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
- If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.
Questions about kitchen installation in Marlborough
How much does kitchen installation cost in Marlborough?
Kitchen installation in Marlborough typically costs £1,500 to £2,600 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in the South West. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you cover all of Marlborough?
Yes. We work across Marlborough, including the SN8 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Swindon and Devizes. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
Do I need building regulations approval for a new kitchen?
Usually only for parts of the job. Fitting units does not need approval, but new electrical circuits are notifiable in England and Wales, removing a load-bearing wall needs approval everywhere, and in Scotland structural work needs a building warrant. Gas work must always be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
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.
