Kitchen fitting in Aldridge

What should you know before starting in Aldridge?

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Aldridge, building control is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Moving a sink is simplest along an outside wall, where the waste can fall to a drain.

Which options suit homes in Aldridge?

Supply and fit

We measure, help you plan the layout, order the units, worktops and appliances, and fit everything. You get one price covering the kitchen and the work, with one firm responsible for both. It's the simplest route if you want somebody else to deal with deliveries, missing parts and making sure everything that arrives fits the room.

Kitchen with a new open-plan layout

When a kitchen goes in alongside a knock-through or extension, the steel position, lighting, sockets and radiators are planned around the kitchen design. Fitting the kitchen last, after plastering and screeding are finished and dry, protects the new units and means the flooring can run through both rooms without joins.

What does your new kitchen cost in Aldridge?

Expect to budget between £2,200 and £28,000 depending on size and specification in Aldridge. Supply and fit of a mid-range 10–12 unit kitchen with laminate worktops in a three-bed semi: typically £10,500–£14,500.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Aldridge

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.

Which postcodes in Aldridge do you work in?

We cover WS9 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Aldridge, neighbouring Rushall and Walsall Wood are covered too.

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 Walsall Council need to approve my new kitchen?

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