Supply and fit kitchens in Aberdeen

When do supply and fit kitchens make sense in Aberdeen?

If you have moved into a house in Aberdeen with a dated kitchen, supply and fit lets you settle the design, the budget and the timetable in one place.

If you are weighing up a premium or made-to-measure kitchen for an Aberdeen home, planning the lead time early helps the fit line up with any other building work. Homes right across Aberdeen are covered, as are nearby places such as Stonehaven, Inverurie and the villages in between.

Supply and fit kitchens prices in Aberdeen

Typical supply and fit kitchens prices for homes in Aberdeen, including VAT and adjusted for Scotland. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving. Prices in Scotland usually come in below the national guide, as labour rates are lower than in the South East.

House types around Aberdeen and what they mean for a kitchen

Across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire you will often find granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.

Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner. Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries.

What rules apply to supply and fit kitchens in Aberdeen?

In Scotland, supplying and fitting a kitchen does not usually need a building warrant, though removing a load-bearing wall or changing how waste water is discharged does. Electrical work must meet the building standards and BS 7671, with an Electrical Installation Certificate on completion. Extraction should meet standard 3.14, gas hobs and cookers are connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers, and listed buildings may need listed building consent.

Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.

Tips before you start

Leave room in the budget for smaller extras such as under-cabinet lighting, a plinth heater or extra sockets that come up once the layout is settled.
Ask for the lead time on your chosen range before setting a fitting date for your Aberdeen home, as premium ranges can take several months.
Check that the written quote for your Aberdeen kitchen lists units, worktops, appliances and each trade as separate lines, so any change is easy to price.
Bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens typically take longer still, so allow for that if you are working towards a moving-in date.

Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Aberdeen

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Aberdeen?

Supply and fit kitchens in Aberdeen typically cost £7,500 to £16,900 including VAT for a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted, based on prices in Scotland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Aberdeen?

Yes. We work across Aberdeen, including the AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and AB16 postcode districts, and nearby towns such as Stonehaven and Inverurie. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Can I choose my own appliances with a supply and fit kitchen?

Yes. You can choose appliances through us as part of the specification or buy them yourself. If you buy them, send us the model details before the design is finalised, so housings, ventilation gaps, door-fixing kits and power points are planned around them. Any manufacturer cover on appliances you buy stays with you and the retailer you bought them from.

What are the payment terms for a supply and fit kitchen?

Payment terms are set out in your written quote before anything is ordered, so you know exactly what is due and at which stage. They depend on the range and the scope of work, and nothing is ordered until you have read and agreed them. If any part of the schedule is unclear, ask about it before you sign rather than after the order has been placed.

How long does a supplied kitchen take to arrive?

Roughly four to six weeks for budget ranges, six to ten weeks for mid-range and twelve to twenty weeks for premium ranges, counted from the order. Bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens typically take longer. Stone worktops are templated once the base units are fixed and fitted about one to two weeks later. We confirm the expected lead time for your chosen range before you commit to an order.
