What kind of kitchens do we fit in Newport, Gwent?

Typical homes in this part of Gwent include valley terraces, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and new-build estates. Valley terraces often have a small kitchen in the rear extension, while Victorian villas in Newport and post-war houses in Cwmbran tend to have a separate kitchen and dining room.

Steep valley streets, terraces with steps up to the door and limited parking can make carrying long worktops difficult, so access is checked at the survey. Water across most of Gwent is soft to moderately soft, which is kinder to taps, though some areas are harder, so check with your supplier.

What rules apply to kitchen refurbishment in Newport, Gwent?

In Wales, a kitchen refurbishment needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. Electrical rules are stricter than in England: extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P, so new under-cabinet lighting or extra sockets added during a refit are usually certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Gas hobs must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

The northern edge of Gwent falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas elsewhere may need consent for new external vents.

Worth knowing before the fit

Before booking a refurbishment for your Newport, Gwent home, empty the sink cupboard and check the base for swelling or soft spots, as it decides whether that unit stays.
If your Newport, Gwent kitchen has a tiled splashback, decide early whether it stays; removing old tiles often damages the plaster behind and adds a day of making good.
Plan meals for the days the worktop and sink are out in your Newport, Gwent home; a kettle, a microwave and a washing-up bowl in another room make those days easier.
Check whether the hinges and drawer runners can be reused; worn or mismatched fittings can stop new doors from sitting straight.

Questions about kitchen refurbishment in Newport, Gwent

How much does kitchen refurbishment cost in Newport, Gwent?

Guide prices in Newport, Gwent are about £2,300 to £5,500 including VAT for new doors, worktops and handles on sound units. 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 cover all of Newport, Gwent?

Yes. We work across Newport, Gwent, including the NP10, NP11, NP18, NP19 and NP20 postcode districts, and nearby towns such as Risca and Cwmbran. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Can I keep my existing appliances during a refurbishment?

Usually, yes. Built-in ovens, hobs and integrated appliances can stay if they work well and suit the existing housings. If you replace one, the new appliance must match the housing dimensions and door-fixing method, and a larger oven or an induction hob may need a new cooker circuit. We check model numbers and sizes at the survey, before you buy anything.

Is it worth refurbishing a kitchen rather than replacing it?

Often, yes, if the carcasses are sound and you are happy with the layout. A refurbishment keeps the hidden structure and spends the budget on what you see. It stops being good value when several units are water-damaged, when you want to move the sink, hob or walls, or when the units are an unusual size that new doors will not suit.

How do you check whether my kitchen units are sound?

At the survey we check the carcasses one by one. We look for swollen or flaking board around the sink, dishwasher and kettle area, staining from old leaks, sagging shelves, damaged hinge holes, loose wall fixings and units that have dropped out of level. Sound carcasses are kept, and damaged ones are listed on the quote as replacements so nothing is left to chance later.
