Local homes and their kitchens

You will find Victorian seaside villas, stone cottages, post-war bungalows and converted flats throughout the Isle of Wight. Victorian villas split into flats often have compact kitchens in former bedrooms, while bungalows and cottages tend to have small square kitchens at the back.

Kitchen units, worktops and appliances usually cross on the vehicle ferry, so delivery dates and crossing times need planning before the fit is booked. Mains water on the Isle of Wight is hard, so limescale on taps, kettles and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.

What rules apply to kitchen installation in Newport, Isle of Wight?

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 buildings and conservation areas in the older island towns may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners usually need the freeholder's written consent.

Planning ahead

Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
Before you order a kitchen for your Newport, Isle of Wight home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
Check that your Newport, Isle of Wight delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Newport, Isle of Wight

How much does kitchen installation cost in Newport, Isle of Wight?

Kitchen installation in Newport, Isle of Wight typically costs £1,700 to £2,900 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Can you measure up in Newport, Isle of Wight before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Newport, Isle of Wight. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.
