Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Irvine, homes range across red sandstone villas, sandstone tenement flats, four-in-a-block flats and post-war council-built houses. Four-in-a-block flats and ex-council houses often have a small galley kitchen, while sandstone villas in Ayr tend to have a larger kitchen with a separate dining room.

Upper four-in-a-block flats usually have their own stair, and coastal towns can have limited parking, so the route for long worktops is checked at the survey. Ayrshire's mains water is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.

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

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.

Listed sandstone villas and conservation areas in older town centres may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners may need neighbours' agreement for shared walls.

Tips before you start

Decide whether you want a boiling water tap or an induction hob before the plan is drawn, as each can need power or plumbing planned in.
If you are redecorating as well, judge paint colours against the door samples in your own kitchen light in Ayrshire, not under bright shop lighting.
Ask to see samples of the door, carcass and worktop materials before ordering, so you know exactly what will be delivered to Irvine.
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 Irvine

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Irvine?

Guide prices in Irvine 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.

Which parts of Irvine do you work in?

All of them. Our Ayrshire coverage takes in the whole of Irvine, including the KA12 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Kilwinning. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
