Which options suit homes in Acocks Green?

Layout change

Moving the sink, hob or a run of units means rerouting water, waste, gas and electrics before the new kitchen goes in. Sinks are easiest near an outside wall where the waste can fall to a drain, and hob positions depend on where the extractor can vent. Planned early, a layout change is straightforward; decided late, it's expensive.

Laminate, wood or stone worktops

Laminate is affordable, cut and fitted on the day. Solid wood needs oiling but can be sanded back. Quartz and compact laminate are hard-wearing, but quartz is templated after the units are fitted and installed a week or two later, so you'll have a temporary top in between. The choice shapes the programme as well as the price.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Acocks Green

How long will we be without a kitchen?

A typical kitchen takes 5–10 working days from strip-out to handover. Stone worktops add a gap of up to two weeks between templating and fitting, but temporary tops keep the sink and hob usable meanwhile. We give you the date the old kitchen comes out well in advance, so you can set up a kettle, microwave and washing-up space elsewhere.

How do I book a survey in Acocks Green?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new kitchen and arrange a time to visit.

Can I buy my own kitchen and have you fit it?

Yes. Many customers buy from a trade counter, a retailer or online and ask us to fit it. We'd suggest letting us measure the room before you order, so the plan matches the real walls and services. On delivery we check everything against the order, because shortages are much easier to sort before the old kitchen comes out.

Does Birmingham City Council need to approve my new kitchen?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Acocks Green is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
