Supply and fit kitchens in Oban start with a free survey visit: we measure up, check the walls, floor and service positions, and explain what the job involves before anything is priced.
Why supply and fit kitchens for an Oban home?
When an Oban kitchen is changing layout, with the sink, hob or appliances moving, supply and fit keeps the design and the trades in one plan.
If you are weighing up a premium or made-to-measure kitchen for an Oban home, planning the lead time early helps the fit line up with any other building work. Oban sits about 38 miles north-west of Dunoon, and our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in everything in between.
What is in a typical job?
Here is what usually goes into supply and fit kitchens, adjusted to your Oban kitchen after we have measured it:
- Help choosing door styles, carcass construction, worktops, sinks and appliances
- Units, panels, plinths, worktops and fixings ordered to the agreed plan
- Units, worktops, sink and appliances fitted, with stone templated after the base units
- Layout design and specification included in the supply-and-fit price
- Splashbacks, tiling, flooring and a final check together before handover
- Strip-out, electrics, plumbing and gas work booked with qualified trades

Local homes and their kitchens
The housing mix across Argyll and Bute includes Victorian villas, whitewashed cottages, tenement flats and post-war bungalows, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Victorian villas in Dunoon and Oban often have a separate scullery and a larger kitchen, while cottages and bungalows tend to have a compact room at the back.
Soft water is usual across Argyll and Bute, so limescale is rarely a concern, though rural homes on private supplies may need their own filtering. Long single-track roads are common, and some mainland addresses are quickest reached by ferry, so delivery dates, vehicle size and worktop lengths need planning around timetables and weather.
Regulations for kitchen work in Oban
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.
Parts of Cowal lie within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent.
Before you book supply and fit kitchens in Oban
- Bring photos of kitchens you like to the survey; they help turn a general idea into specific door styles, colours and worktop choices.
- Leave room in the budget for smaller extras such as under-cabinet lighting, a plinth heater or extra sockets that come up once the layout is settled.
- Check that the written quote for your Oban kitchen lists units, worktops, appliances and each trade as separate lines, so any change is easy to price.
- Lead times vary by range: roughly four to six weeks for budget kitchens, six to ten for mid-range and twelve to twenty for premium.
Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Oban
How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Oban?
Guide prices in Oban 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 Oban do you work in?
All of them. Our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in the whole of Oban, including the PA34 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Dunoon. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.
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.
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.
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.
