Kitchen installation in New Malden
We take on kitchen installation in New Malden and the surrounding KT3 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
When does kitchen installation make sense in New Malden?
Some New Malden households already have a kitchen they like the look of but not the fit: doors out of line, gaps at the wall and a worktop that has lifted.
Many people in Greater London replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty. If your home is in New Malden or close by in Worcester Park or Surbiton, the same survey, quote and fitting process applies.
What does kitchen installation in New Malden include?
Your written quote lists everything included. For kitchen installation, that normally means:
- Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
- Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover
- Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
- First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
- Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
- Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
How much does kitchen installation cost in New Malden?
Use these ranges to plan your budget. They include VAT, reflect costs in London, and are firmed up once we have seen your New Malden kitchen. Prices in London usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

| Small kitchen, 5–10 units, fit onlyYour units fitted, laminate worktop, sink and appliance connections | £2,000–£3,200 |
| Medium kitchen, 10–15 units, fit onlyAs above, for a typical family kitchen | £3,200–£4,600 |

| Mid-range kitchen, supplied and fittedRigid units, quartz or solid wood worktops, integrated appliances, fitting and the usual trades | £23,500–£45,500 |
Fit-only guide ranges cover labour for units, laminate worktops and standard connections; stone worktops, new circuits, moved services, tiling, flooring and plastering are priced as separate lines. Prices include VAT at 20%.
Kitchens in homes around New Malden
You will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis throughout Greater London. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.
Do you need approval for kitchen installation in New Malden?
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 are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
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.
- If your house in Greater London is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
- Check that your New Malden 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 New Malden
How much does kitchen installation cost in New Malden?
For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT in New Malden. That reflects typical costs in London; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover all of New Malden?
Yes. We work across New Malden, including the KT3 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Worcester Park and Surbiton. 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.
