Kitchen installation in Norbury

Why do people in Norbury choose kitchen installation?

If you have bought a home in Norbury with a small galley or a dated back kitchen, a new installation can make far better use of the same space.

Landlords and sellers across Greater London often fit a new kitchen because it is one of the first rooms buyers and tenants judge a home by. Norbury sits about 6 miles south of Westminster, and our Greater London coverage takes in everything in between.

House types around Norbury and what they mean for a kitchen

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.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Norbury

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

Check that your Norbury delivery can reach the kitchen: tall larder units and long worktops need clear access through doors and stairs.
Before you order a kitchen for your Norbury home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Norbury home for a kettle and microwave.
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 Norbury

How much does kitchen installation cost in Norbury?

Kitchen installation in Norbury typically costs £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Which parts of Norbury do you work in?

All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Norbury, including the SW16 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Streatham. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
