Kitchen installation in Telford

Why do people in Telford choose kitchen installation?

Some Telford 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.

A new layout is a common reason to change kitchens in Telford: moving the sink under the window, adding an island or opening up to the dining room. Kitchens in every part of Telford are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Shropshire.

What does the job involve?

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

Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
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
Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote

Local homes and their kitchens

The housing mix across Shropshire includes timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war new town houses and farmhouses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Telford's new-town houses often have a compact galley or L-shaped kitchen, while older cottages in Shrewsbury and Ludlow may have small rooms with low beams.

Rural lanes, farm tracks and medieval town centres with restricted parking can all complicate deliveries, so vehicle size and timing are planned in advance. Much of Shropshire has moderately hard to hard water, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is worth planning for; check with your supplier.

Regulations for kitchen work in Telford

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.

Shrewsbury and Ludlow have many listed timber-framed buildings and conservation areas, so new vents or internal alterations may need listed building consent or planning permission.

Worth knowing before the fit

Before you order a kitchen for your Telford home, ask for a survey so the plan is checked against real measurements, not estimates.
Order stone worktops early in the plan, as templating can only happen once the base units are fixed.
Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Telford 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 Telford

How much does kitchen installation cost in Telford?

For a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only, budget around £1,500 to £2,500 including VAT in Telford. That reflects typical costs in the West Midlands; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Do you cover all of Telford?

Yes. We work across Telford, including the TF3 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Wellington and Bridgnorth. 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.
