Thinking about supply and fit kitchens in Hove?

If you are weighing up a premium or made-to-measure kitchen for a Hove home, planning the lead time early helps the fit line up with any other building work.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Hove?

The housing mix across East Sussex includes Regency townhouses and flats, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and seaside bungalows, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Regency and Victorian houses split into flats often have small kitchens in former reception rooms, while 1930s semis usually have a compact kitchen at the back.

Seafront flats without lifts, permit parking and steep streets in the coastal towns can make delivery and waste removal slower, so access needs planning. East Sussex has hard water, so limescale builds up on taps, kettles and boiling water taps, and a filter or softener is worth considering.

Do you need approval for supply and fit kitchens in Hove?

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.

Listed Regency buildings, conservation areas and homes inside the South Downs National Park may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners usually need freeholder consent.

Planning ahead

Ask to see samples of the door, carcass and worktop materials before ordering, so you know exactly what will be delivered to Hove.
If your Hove home is older, ask whether walls and floors need preparing before fitting, as that work is easier to price at the design stage.
If you are redecorating as well, judge paint colours against the door samples in your own kitchen light in East Sussex, not under bright shop lighting.
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 Hove

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Hove?

For a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted, budget around £9,200 to £20,500 including VAT in Hove. That reflects typical costs in the South East; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Can you measure up in Hove before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Hove. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

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.

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.
