Supply and fit kitchens in the Highlands
Supply and fit kitchens in the Highlands start with a free visit to measure up, then a written scope and quote before any work begins.
Is supply and fit kitchens right for your Highlands kitchen?
People across the Highlands who have watched a fitter and a retailer blame each other for a problem often prefer a single contract the next time round.
If you are planning a new kitchen for your Highlands home and have not yet chosen a range, a survey first means the design starts from real measurements.

Kitchens in homes across the Highlands
Across the Highlands you will often find stone crofthouses, Victorian villas, post-war council-built houses and timber-framed kit houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Older crofthouses often have a small kitchen in a lean-to, while Victorian villas in Inverness and Nairn tend to have separate kitchens with room to open up.
Mains water across the Highlands is soft, though many remote homes rely on private supplies, which may need testing and filtering before a boiling water tap goes in. Long distances, single-track roads and winter weather can affect delivery and fitting days, so lead times and worktop lengths need planning well in advance.
Many rural Highland homes are off the gas grid, so the kitchen may be planned around induction, LPG or an oil-fired range. Crofthouses and older cottages tend to have thick walls and small windows that shape the layout and lighting.
Rules for supply and fit kitchens in the Highlands
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 buildings and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes to historic features.
Before you start
- Bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens typically take longer still, so allow for that if you are working towards a moving-in date.
- Settle the specification before the order is placed, because changing doors, worktops or layout afterwards can add cost and several weeks.
- Carcass construction matters as much as the doors: ask about board thickness, back panels and whether units arrive rigid or flat-pack.
- Read the payment terms in the written quote before ordering, including what is due at each stage, as the kitchen is ordered specifically for you.
- If your Highlands home is older, ask whether walls and floors need preparing before fitting, as that work is easier to price at the design stage.
- Bring photos of kitchens you like to the survey; they help turn a general idea into specific door styles, colours and worktop choices.
Questions about supply and fit kitchens in the Highlands
How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in the Highlands?
Guide prices in the Highlands are about £7,500 to £16,900 including VAT for a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Do you cover the whole of the Highlands?
Yes, across the mainland Highlands, including Inverness, Fort William, Thurso and Wick. We do not currently cover Skye or the other islands. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.
Who is responsible if a supplied part is wrong or damaged?
We are. Because we order the kitchen and take delivery, we check every item against the plan and deal with the supplier directly if anything is missing, damaged or wrong. You do not have to chase a retailer while a fitter waits on site. If a replacement affects the timetable, we tell you and re-plan the order of work around it.
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.
