Supply and fit kitchens in the Scottish Borders
We carry out supply and fit kitchens across the Scottish Borders, from Hawick to the smaller towns, with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote as standard.
Why supply and fit kitchens for a Scottish Borders home?
Homeowners in the Scottish Borders often choose supply and fit when they want one company to handle the kitchen from the first measurement to the last plinth.
If you are weighing up a premium or made-to-measure kitchen for a Scottish Borders home, planning the lead time early helps the fit line up with any other building work.

How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in the Scottish Borders?
The figures below are guide prices for the Scottish Borders, including VAT and adjusted for typical costs across Scotland. The fixed price comes after we have measured up. Prices in Scotland usually come in below the national guide, as labour rates are lower than in the South East.

Kitchens in homes across the Scottish Borders
Across the Scottish Borders you will often find stone mill-town terraces, Victorian villas, farm cottages and post-war council-built houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. 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.
The Scottish Borders generally have soft mains water, though rural homes on private supplies may need testing and filtering. 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.
Stone terraces in the mill towns usually have small rooms and thick walls that suit a galley or L-shaped layout. Farm cottages are often off the gas grid, so cooking may be planned around induction, LPG or an oil-fired range.
Rules for supply and fit kitchens in the Scottish Borders
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 start
- Carcass construction matters as much as the doors: ask about board thickness, back panels and whether units arrive rigid or flat-pack.
- Bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens typically take longer still, so allow for that if you are working towards a moving-in date.
- 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.
- Read the payment terms in the written quote before ordering, including what is due at each stage, as the kitchen is ordered specifically for you.
- 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 Scottish Borders kitchen lists units, worktops, appliances and each trade as separate lines, so any change is easy to price.
Questions about supply and fit kitchens in the Scottish Borders
How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in the Scottish Borders?
For a budget kitchen, supplied and fitted, budget around £7,500 to £16,900 including VAT in the Scottish Borders. That reflects typical costs in Scotland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
Yes. We carry out supply and fit kitchens across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso. Every job starts with a free survey visit and 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.
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.
