Is kitchen strip-out and removal right for your Haverfordwest kitchen?
People clearing a house in Dyfed before a refurbishment, sale or letting often need the kitchen removed quickly, with services made safe so the property is left in a sound state.
If a leak has ruined the base units in your Haverfordwest kitchen, a careful strip-out lets the floor and walls dry out and be checked before anything new goes in. Our Dyfed coverage reaches every part of Haverfordwest (SA61) and out towards Milford Haven.

House types around Haverfordwest and what they mean for a kitchen
Across Dyfed you will often find stone cottages, Victorian terraces, farmhouses and post-war bungalows, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Stone cottages and farmhouses often have a small kitchen in a rear extension, while terraces in Llanelli and Aberystwyth tend to have a narrow galley at the back.
Rural farm tracks, steep coastal lanes and long distances between villages can affect delivery vehicles, so worktop lengths and timing need planning ahead. Mains water across most of Dyfed is soft, so limescale is rarely a big problem, though farms on private supplies may need their own filtering.
Regulations for kitchen work in Haverfordwest
In Wales, a strip-out needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. Gas must be capped by a Gas Safe registered engineer and circuits made safe by an electrician. Disconnection itself is not notifiable, but the new kitchen's electrics usually will be, because extending an existing circuit within a kitchen is notifiable under Part P in Wales. Skips on the road normally need a council permit, and waste should go with a registered carrier.
Homes in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park or Bannau Brycheiniog, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or historic alterations.
Worth knowing before the fit
- Measure the hallway and doors on the route out; long worktops and tall larder units sometimes need cutting down to leave the house without damaging walls.
- If your Haverfordwest home was built before 2000, ask whether an asbestos survey makes sense before the strip-out date is fixed, rather than waiting to see what turns up.
- Find your stopcock and gas meter before the day so the plumber and the Gas Safe engineer can isolate supplies in your Haverfordwest home quickly.
- Check where a skip can go; one on the road usually needs a council permit, which the skip firm normally arranges.
Questions about kitchen strip-out and removal in Haverfordwest
How much does kitchen strip-out and removal cost in Haverfordwest?
Kitchen strip-out and removal in Haverfordwest typically costs £180 to £460 including VAT for removing and disposing of an old kitchen, based on prices in Wales. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Which parts of Haverfordwest do you work in?
All of them. Our Dyfed coverage takes in the whole of Haverfordwest, including the SA61 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Milford Haven. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
Can you strip out a kitchen for another fitter or builder?
Yes. We can take out the old kitchen on its own and leave the room ready, with gas capped, circuits made safe and water isolated, so your builder or fitter starts with a clear space. Tell us at the survey what condition the walls and floor should be left in, because stripping back to bare walls is a bigger job than removing units.
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.
