Supply and fit kitchens in Livingston
Homeowners and landlords in Livingston can book us for supply and fit kitchens: survey, design, supply and fitting of a complete kitchen, with one contract and one point of contact.
Why do people in Livingston choose supply and fit kitchens?
People across the Lothians 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 Livingston home and have not yet chosen a range, a survey first means the design starts from real measurements. We cover all of Livingston, including the EH54 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across the Lothians.

Local homes and their kitchens
In and around Livingston, homes range across former mining village terraces, stone cottages, new town houses and new-build estates. Livingston's new-town houses often have a compact L-shaped kitchen, while older stone cottages and mining-village terraces tend to have a small kitchen at the back.
New-build estates usually have good access for vans, while older village streets and terraced rows can have tight parking close to the front door. Homes across the Lothians generally get soft mains water, so limescale is rarely a big problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Livingston
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 buildings and conservation areas in older towns such as Musselburgh and Linlithgow may need consent for new vents, and flat owners may need neighbours' agreement.
Planning ahead
- Bring photos of kitchens you like to the survey; they help turn a general idea into specific door styles, colours and worktop choices.
- If you are redecorating as well, judge paint colours against the door samples in your own kitchen light in the Lothians, not under bright shop lighting.
- Ask for the lead time on your chosen range before setting a fitting date for your Livingston home, as premium ranges can take several months.
- Settle the specification before the order is placed, because changing doors, worktops or layout afterwards can add cost and several weeks.
Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Livingston
How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Livingston?
For a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted, budget around £7,500 to £16,900 including VAT in Livingston. That reflects typical costs in Scotland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Can you measure up in Livingston before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Livingston. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
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.
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.
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.
