House types around Exmouth and what they mean for a kitchen

Across Devon you will often find cob and thatched cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war houses and flats and seaside bungalows, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian terraces in Exeter and Torbay often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war houses and seaside bungalows usually have a square room that suits an L-shape.

Much of Devon has soft mains water, which is kind to taps and appliances, though some eastern parts are harder, so check with your supplier. Single-track lanes, steep town streets and cottages with no parking can make deliveries slow, so long worktops and tall units need a planned route into the house.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Exmouth

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.

Homes within Dartmoor or Exmoor national parks, listed thatched cottages and conservation areas may need consent before a new extractor vent goes through an outside wall.

Practical advice for Exmouth homeowners

If you are redecorating as well, judge paint colours against the door samples in your own kitchen light in Devon, not under bright shop lighting.
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 Exmouth home, as premium ranges can take several months.
Choose appliances before the design is finalised, as their sizes decide housing widths, tall unit heights and where sockets and isolators go.

Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Exmouth

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Exmouth?

For a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted, budget around £8,200 to £18,500 including VAT in Exmouth. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Exmouth do you work in?

All of them. Our Devon coverage takes in the whole of Exmouth, including the EX8 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Exeter. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
