Options to consider in Edgbaston

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.

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.

Which postcodes in Edgbaston do you work in?

We cover B15 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Edgbaston, neighbouring Harborne and Moseley 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 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 Edgbaston is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
