Kitchens in homes across Mid Glamorgan
You will find valley terraces, post-war council-built houses, seaside bungalows and new-build estates throughout Mid Glamorgan. Valley terraces often have a narrow kitchen in a rear extension, while post-war houses in towns such as Bridgend tend to have a compact room beside the dining area.
Soft water is usual across Mid Glamorgan, so limescale is less of a concern and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Steep valley streets and terraces built into hillsides can mean steps, tight turns and limited parking, so carrying long worktops is planned at the survey.
Many valley terraces have a long, narrow kitchen in the back extension, and owners often open it into the middle room for a kitchen-diner. Ex-council houses may need a full strip-out with new wiring, which is notifiable work.
Rules for kitchen installation in Mid Glamorgan
In Wales, fitting a kitchen does not need planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. Part P is wider than in England: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable, as well as new circuits and consumer units, so most kitchen electrics are certified through a competent person scheme or building control. New extraction should be designed to the Welsh Approved Document F rates, a refit should not leave ventilation worse than before, and gas work is for Gas Safe registered engineers only.
The northern fringe of the area falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for new external vents.
Before you start
- If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.
- Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.
- Book the survey before you order a kitchen, so the plan is checked against real wall lengths, window heights and service positions.
- Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
- If you live in a flat in Mid Glamorgan, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
- If your house in Mid Glamorgan is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Questions about kitchen installation in Mid Glamorgan
How much does kitchen installation cost in Mid Glamorgan?
Guide prices in Mid Glamorgan are about £1,400 to £2,300 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 Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
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.
