Kitchen installation in Wellington

Thinking about kitchen installation in Wellington?

If you have bought a kitchen online or from a trade counter for your Wellington home, we can check the delivery against the plan and fit it properly.

A new layout is a common reason to change kitchens in Wellington: moving the sink under the window, adding an island or opening up to the dining room. Wellington sits about 3 miles north-west of Telford, and our Shropshire coverage takes in everything in between.

What does the job involve?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote
Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover

Kitchens in homes around Wellington

In and around Wellington, homes range across timber-framed cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war new town houses and farmhouses. 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.

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. Rural lanes, farm tracks and medieval town centres with restricted parking can all complicate deliveries, so vehicle size and timing are planned in advance.

What rules apply to kitchen installation in Wellington?

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

Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a Wellington kitchen.
If you live in a flat in Wellington, check building rules on working hours, lift protection and parking for the fitting van.
If your house in Shropshire is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.

Questions about kitchen installation in Wellington

How much does kitchen installation cost in Wellington?

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

Which parts of Wellington do you work in?

All of them. Our Shropshire coverage takes in the whole of Wellington, including the TF1 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Telford. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

Can I use my kitchen during the installation?

Not for most of it. Once the old kitchen comes out there is no sink or cooker until the new one is connected, usually a week or two for an average kitchen. We plan the job so the water and power are off for as little time as possible, and we tell you which days will be the most disruptive.
