Which option fits your home?

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.

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 fitting in Kings Heath: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Kings Heath?

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.

What guarantees come with a new kitchen?

Units, worktops, appliances, sinks and taps each carry their own manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms are set out in your quote. Keep the paperwork we hand over, as appliance manufacturers often ask for proof of installation date. If something we've fitted isn't right, call us and we'll come back to look at it.

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 Kings Heath is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
