Supply and fit kitchens in Kelso
We take on supply and fit kitchens in Kelso and the surrounding TD5 postcodes, working to a written scope so you know exactly what is included before anyone starts.
Is supply and fit kitchens right for your Kelso kitchen?
If you are weighing up a premium or made-to-measure kitchen for a Kelso home, planning the lead time early helps the fit line up with any other building work.
When a Kelso kitchen is changing layout, with the sink, hob or appliances moving, supply and fit keeps the design and the trades in one plan. We work throughout Kelso (TD5) and across the wider Scottish Borders area.
What is in a typical job?
Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:
- Layout design and specification included in the supply-and-fit price
- Strip-out, electrics, plumbing and gas work booked with qualified trades
- Free survey visit with full measurements and a check of the services
- Delivery received by us and every item checked before fitting begins
- Units, panels, plinths, worktops and fixings ordered to the agreed plan
- Splashbacks, tiling, flooring and a final check together before handover
What do supply and fit kitchens cost in Kelso?
Use these ranges to plan your budget. They include VAT, reflect costs in Scotland, and are firmed up once we have seen your Kelso kitchen. Labour rates in Scotland are generally lower than in London and the South East, so these ranges are a little below the national guide.

Kitchens in homes around Kelso
Typical homes in this part of the Scottish Borders include stone mill-town terraces, Victorian villas, farm cottages and post-war council-built houses. Stone terraces in Hawick and Galashiels often have a small kitchen at the back, while Victorian villas in Peebles and Kelso tend to have larger separate kitchens.
Rural roads and farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries, and older town centres may have limited parking, so delivery is planned in advance. The Scottish Borders generally have soft mains water, though rural homes on private supplies may need testing and filtering.
Regulations for kitchen work in Kelso
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.
Older Borders towns often have conservation areas and listed buildings, so a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.
Before you book supply and fit kitchens in Kelso
- Bring photos of kitchens you like to the survey; they help turn a general idea into specific door styles, colours and worktop choices.
- Check that the written quote for your Kelso kitchen lists units, worktops, appliances and each trade as separate lines, so any change is easy to price.
- 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.
- 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 Kelso
How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Kelso?
Supply and fit kitchens in Kelso typically cost £7,500 to £16,900 including VAT for a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted, based on prices in Scotland. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Do you work near Kelso as well?
Yes. As well as Kelso itself, we cover the rest of the Scottish Borders and nearby towns such as Galashiels and Hawick. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
