What is in a typical job?
After the survey visit we write the scope down. For kitchen strip-out and removal in Maesteg it usually covers:
- Gas supply disconnected and capped by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Survey of gas, electrical and water positions and the route out of the house
- Water isolated and supplies capped so the rest of the house keeps running water
- Floors, doorways, stairs and the route to the skip or van protected
- Wall units, base units, worktops, sink and appliances removed in order
- Kitchen circuits isolated and made safe by an electrician
How much does kitchen strip-out and removal cost in Maesteg?
These guide ranges include VAT at 20% and are adjusted for prices in Wales. We confirm your price in writing after a free survey visit. Prices in Wales usually come in below the national guide, as labour rates are lower than in the South East.

Kitchens in homes around Maesteg
The housing mix across Mid Glamorgan includes valley terraces, post-war council-built houses, seaside bungalows and new-build estates, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Valley terraces often have a narrow kitchen in a rear extension, while post-war houses in towns such as Bridgend tend to have a compact room beside the dining area.
Soft water is usual across Mid Glamorgan, so limescale is less of a concern and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner. Steep valley streets and terraces built into hillsides can mean steps, tight turns and limited parking, so carrying long worktops is planned at the survey.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Maesteg
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.
The northern fringe of the area falls within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for new external vents.
Worth knowing before the fit
- If a skip will need to sit on the road outside your Maesteg home, speak to the skip firm early, as a permit usually has to be arranged first.
- Set up a kettle and microwave in another room of your home in Mid Glamorgan, as the kitchen will have no power once the circuits are made safe.
- If you plan to sell or reuse appliances or units, say so at the survey so they are removed carefully and set aside rather than broken up.
- If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey first; textured ceilings, old floor tiles and boiler cupboard boards can contain it.
Questions about kitchen strip-out and removal in Maesteg
How much does kitchen strip-out and removal cost in Maesteg?
Kitchen strip-out and removal in Maesteg 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.
Can you measure up in Maesteg before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Maesteg. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
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.
