Is kitchen installation right for your Surrey kitchen?

Many people in Surrey replace a kitchen when they move in, before unpacking, so the noisy work is done while the house is still empty.

Landlords and sellers across Surrey often fit a new kitchen because it is one of the first rooms buyers and tenants judge a home by.

What does kitchen installation in Surrey include?

Here is what usually goes into kitchen installation, adjusted to your Surrey kitchen after we have measured it:

  • Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote
  • Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
  • First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
  • Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
  • Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
  • Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
  • Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
  • Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover

How much does kitchen installation cost in Surrey?

As a starting point for Surrey, these ranges include VAT at 20% and allow for typical labour costs in the South East. Labour in the South East generally costs more than the UK average, which lifts these ranges a little.

Kitchens in homes across Surrey

Across Surrey you will often find 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates, and each shapes the kitchen differently. 1930s semis often have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room, while larger detached houses and Edwardian villas may have room for an island or a separate utility.

Surrey's water is hard across most of the county, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Private roads, long drives and village lanes can be awkward for large lorries, while town-centre flats may need lift bookings and parking permits for delivery day.

Joining the kitchen and dining room in a 1930s semi, often with a peninsula and seating, is a common project. Larger detached houses tend to suit a supply-and-fit kitchen with an island, a boiling water tap, a separate utility and lighting planned in zones.

Rules for kitchen installation in Surrey

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 older towns and villages may need consent for new vents, and flats in managed blocks usually need the freeholder's consent first.

Before you start

  • Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
  • Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.
  • Book the survey before you order a kitchen, so the plan is checked against real wall lengths, window heights and service positions.
  • Leave every box sealed until the fit; parts get lost or damaged once packaging is opened and stacked around the house.
  • Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
  • Before you order a kitchen for your Surrey home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.

Questions about kitchen installation in Surrey

How much does kitchen installation cost in Surrey?

Kitchen installation in Surrey 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.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across Surrey, including Woking, Guildford, Esher and Redhill. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.

What order does a kitchen installation follow?

The usual sequence is strip-out, any structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, base and wall units, worktops, second fix of sockets, sink, tap and appliances, then splashbacks, flooring and decorating. Some floors go down before the units and some after, depending on the floor type, which we agree at the survey.

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.
