Which option fits your home?

Fit-only for a kitchen you've bought

You buy from your chosen supplier and we fit it. Before ordering, we measure the room so the plan matches reality, including the positions of the window, boiler, soil pipe and radiators. On delivery we check the boxes against the order, so any shortages are chased with the supplier before fitting day.

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.

Which postcodes in Alcester do you work in?

We cover B49 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Alcester, neighbouring Studley and Stratford-upon-Avon are covered too.

How should I prepare for the kitchen fitters?

Empty all cupboards and drawers, clear the worktops and move the fridge contents somewhere else. Set up a temporary kitchen in another room with a kettle, microwave and a washing-up bowl. Make sure there's a clear route from the front door to the kitchen, and tell us about pets, parking and working hours that suit your household.

Does Stratford-on-Avon District Council need to approve my new kitchen?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Alcester is provided by Stratford-on-Avon District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
