House types around Borehamwood and what they mean for a kitchen

You will find 1930s semis, post-war new town houses, Victorian terraces and new-build estates throughout Hertfordshire. Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead new-town houses often have a small galley, while 1930s semis tend to have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room.

Commuter-town streets often have tight parking, and estate houses with shared parking courts can mean carrying units some distance to the front door. Hertfordshire's water is very hard, mostly drawn from chalk, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a softener or filter is worth considering.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Borehamwood

A supplied and fitted kitchen needs no planning permission in England, except where listed building consent applies or a new vent is cut through the outside wall of a flat. New circuits and consumer units are notifiable under Part P and certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Cooker hoods are planned to meet Approved Document F, and gas hobs are connected by Gas Safe registered engineers.

A kitchen fit needs no planning permission, but listed buildings and conservation areas, including parts of St Albans and Welwyn Garden City, may need consent for external vents.

Practical advice for Borehamwood homeowners

If your Borehamwood home is older, ask whether walls and floors need preparing before fitting, as that work is easier to price at the design stage.
Ask to see samples of the door, carcass and worktop materials before ordering, so you know exactly what will be delivered to Borehamwood.
Check that the written quote for your Borehamwood 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.

Do you cover all of Borehamwood?

Yes. We work across Borehamwood, including the WD6 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Barnet and Bushey. 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.

Is kitchen design included when you supply the kitchen?

Yes. The measured survey, layout plan and specification are part of the supply-and-fit price rather than a separate charge. You see the layout, door and worktop choices and appliance positions before ordering, and changes are made at the planning stage, when they are simple to redraw. The agreed plan is what we order from and what the fitters work to.

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.
