Supply and fit kitchens in Portsmouth

What prompts supply and fit kitchens in Portsmouth?

If you are planning a new kitchen for your Portsmouth home and have not yet chosen a range, a survey first means the design starts from real measurements.

For a larger Portsmouth kitchen with an island or tall appliance housings, having the people who fit the kitchen also draw it cuts down surprises on fitting day. We cover all of Portsmouth, including the PO5 postcode district, and travel out to neighbouring towns across Hampshire.

What is included in the work?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

Delivery received by us and every item checked before fitting begins
Units, panels, plinths, worktops and fixings ordered to the agreed plan
Strip-out, electrics, plumbing and gas work booked with qualified trades
Help choosing door styles, carcass construction, worktops, sinks and appliances
Splashbacks, tiling, flooring and a final check together before handover
Free survey visit with full measurements and a check of the services

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Portsmouth?

Across Hampshire you will often find Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.

Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle. Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.

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

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.

Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.

Planning ahead

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.
If your Portsmouth home is older, ask whether walls and floors need preparing before fitting, as that work is easier to price at the design stage.
Ask to see samples of the door, carcass and worktop materials before ordering, so you know exactly what will be delivered to Portsmouth.
Bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens typically take longer still, so allow for that if you are working towards a moving-in date.

Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Portsmouth

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Portsmouth?

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

Which parts of Portsmouth do you work in?

All of them. Our Hampshire coverage takes in the whole of Portsmouth, including the PO5 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Southsea. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.

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.
