House types around Sandown and what they mean for a kitchen

You will find Victorian seaside villas, stone cottages, post-war bungalows and converted flats throughout the Isle of Wight. Victorian villas split into flats often have compact kitchens in former bedrooms, while bungalows and cottages tend to have small square kitchens at the back.

Kitchen units, worktops and appliances usually cross on the vehicle ferry, so delivery dates and crossing times need planning before the fit is booked. Mains water on the Isle of Wight is hard, so limescale on taps, kettles and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Sandown

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas in the older island towns may need consent for a new external vent, and flat owners usually need the freeholder's written consent.

Worth knowing before the fit

Ask for the lead time on your chosen range before setting a fitting date for your Sandown home, as premium ranges can take several months.
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.
Ask to see samples of the door, carcass and worktop materials before ordering, so you know exactly what will be delivered to Sandown.
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 Sandown

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Sandown?

Guide prices in Sandown are about £9,200 to £20,500 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 Sandown do you work in?

All of them. Our Isle of Wight coverage takes in the whole of Sandown, including the PO36 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Ryde. 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.

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.

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.
