What prompts kitchen strip-out and removal in Feltham?
If a leak has ruined the base units in your Feltham kitchen, a careful strip-out lets the floor and walls dry out and be checked before anything new goes in.

Kitchens in homes around Feltham
In and around Feltham, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day. London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in.
Regulations for kitchen work in Feltham
Removing a kitchen needs no planning permission in England, but a listed home may need listed building consent before historic fittings are taken out. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may disconnect and cap a gas supply, and circuits should be made safe by an electrician to BS 7671. A skip on the road usually needs a council permit, which the skip firm normally arranges, and waste should go with a carrier registered with the Environment Agency.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Getting the most from your kitchen strip-out and removal
- If a skip will need to sit on the road outside your Feltham home, speak to the skip firm early, as a permit usually has to be arranged first.
- Let neighbours in your Feltham terrace or block know when the strip-out is booked; it is a noisy day, and a van or skip may need parking space.
- Empty every cupboard, the fridge and the freezer the day before the strip-out, and defrost the freezer so it can be carried out without leaking.
- Old steel sinks sometimes have bitumen sound-deadening pads underneath, which may contain asbestos and should be tested before the sink is broken up.
Questions about kitchen strip-out and removal in Feltham
How much does kitchen strip-out and removal cost in Feltham?
Guide prices in Feltham are about £260 to £650 including VAT for removing and disposing of an old kitchen. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Which parts of Feltham do you work in?
All of them. Our Greater London coverage takes in the whole of Feltham, including the TW13 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Hanworth. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
What happens if asbestos is found during a kitchen strip-out?
Work in that area stops. Homes built before 2000 may contain asbestos in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, some boiler cupboard boards and the bitumen pads under old steel sinks. Suspect material is sampled and tested by a specialist, and if it does contain asbestos it is removed by a specialist contractor under the asbestos regulations before the strip-out carries on.
Do I need a skip for a kitchen strip-out?
Not always. A small kitchen can often go in a van in one or two trips, while a larger strip-out with tiles and plaster usually needs a skip. A skip on your drive needs no permit, but one on the road usually needs a permit from the council or roads authority, which the skip firm normally arranges. We agree the method at the survey.
Who disconnects the gas and electrics before a strip-out?
A Gas Safe registered engineer disconnects and caps the gas supply to the hob or cooker, which is a legal requirement everywhere in the UK. An electrician isolates the kitchen circuits and makes the cable ends safe to BS 7671, and the water is turned off and the supplies capped. Only then do the units and appliances come out.
