Kitchens in homes across Tyne and Wear
The housing mix across Tyne and Wear includes tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war council-built houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Tyneside flats often have a narrow kitchen in the rear offshoot, while 1930s semis and ex-council houses tend to have a small square kitchen at the back.
Hardness varies across Tyne and Wear, from fairly soft around Newcastle to harder in parts of Sunderland, so check with your supplier before choosing a filter. Back lanes behind terraced streets can help deliveries, but upper Tyneside flats have their own internal stair, so long worktops need careful handling.
In an upper Tyneside flat, the kitchen often sits in a narrow offshoot, so planning a usable layout within that width is the main task. Terraces and semis frequently have a separate kitchen that owners open into the dining room.
Rules for supply and fit kitchens in Tyne and Wear
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.
In conservation areas and listed buildings, such as parts of central Newcastle and Tynemouth, a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.
Before you start
- Settle the specification before the order is placed, because changing doors, worktops or layout afterwards can add cost and several weeks.
- Carcass construction matters as much as the doors: ask about board thickness, back panels and whether units arrive rigid or flat-pack.
- Choose appliances before the design is finalised, as their sizes decide housing widths, tall unit heights and where sockets and isolators go.
- Bespoke and made-to-measure kitchens typically take longer still, so allow for that if you are working towards a moving-in date.
- Bring photos of kitchens you like to the survey; they help turn a general idea into specific door styles, colours and worktop choices.
- If your Tyne and Wear home is older, ask whether walls and floors need preparing before fitting, as that work is easier to price at the design stage.
Questions about supply and fit kitchens in Tyne and Wear
How much do supply and fit kitchens cost in Tyne and Wear?
Guide prices in Tyne and Wear are about £7,200 to £16,200 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.
Do you cover the whole of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We carry out supply and fit kitchens across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. 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.
