Kitchen installation in Perth

Why kitchen installation for a Perth home?

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

Some Perth 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. We cover all of Perth, including the PH1 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Perth and Kinross.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Perth?

In and around Perth, homes range across sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, stone cottages and post-war council-built houses. Victorian villas in Perth and Crieff often have a separate kitchen and former scullery, while tenement flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall.

Highland Perthshire roads can be narrow and winding, and older town streets may have limited parking, so delivery vehicle size and timing are planned ahead. Mains water across Perth and Kinross is soft, though some remote homes rely on private supplies that may need testing and filtering.

Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Perth?

In Scotland, replacing kitchen fitments, adding an extractor fan and most electrical work in a house do not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for an Electrical Installation Certificate. Removing a load-bearing wall or changing how waste water is discharged needs a warrant first. Gas hobs must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Every home in Scotland must have an interlinked heat alarm in the kitchen, so it is kept or refitted, and tested, as part of the job.

Parts of highland Perthshire lie within the Cairngorms or Loch Lomond and The Trossachs national parks, and listed buildings elsewhere may need consent for new vents.

Getting the most from your kitchen installation

Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Perth home for a kettle and microwave.
Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Perth kitchen.
If you live in a flat in Perth, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
Decide where the sink, hob and dishwasher go early, because moving them later means repeating plumbing, electrics and tiling.

Questions about kitchen installation in Perth

How much does kitchen installation cost in Perth?

Kitchen installation in Perth typically costs £1,400 to £2,400 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, based on prices in Scotland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Perth?

Yes. We work across Perth, including the PH1 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Crieff and Glenrothes. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

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.

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.
