Local homes and their kitchens

Typical homes in this part of Gwent include valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.

Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier. Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey.

Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Newport, Gwent?

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 edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.

Worth knowing before the fit

Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
If you live in a flat in Newport, Gwent, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
Before you order a kitchen for your Newport, Gwent home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.

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.

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.
