Local homes and their kitchens
In and around West Bromwich, homes range across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council-built houses and post-war flats and maisonettes. Victorian terraces often have a long galley behind the back room, while 1930s semis across Birmingham and the Black Country tend to have a small kitchen at the rear.
Busy terraced streets, permit parking near town centres and blocks with shared lifts can each affect delivery times and how worktops reach the kitchen. Birmingham's water is relatively soft, while much of the Black Country and Coventry is harder, so check your supplier's hardness figure before choosing a filter.
Do you need approval for kitchen installation in West Bromwich?
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 and listed buildings, including parts of Birmingham and Solihull, may need consent for new vents, and flat owners usually need the freeholder's consent first.
Tips before you start
- Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
- Ask for appliance sizes and ventilation gaps to be checked against the housings before you buy appliances for a West Bromwich kitchen.
- If your house in the West Midlands is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
- Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
Questions about kitchen installation in West Bromwich
How much does kitchen installation cost in West Bromwich?
Guide prices in West Bromwich are about £1,500 to £2,500 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Do you work near West Bromwich as well?
Yes. As well as West Bromwich itself, we cover the rest of the West Midlands and nearby towns such as Smethwick and Wednesbury. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
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.
