Kitchen fitting in Kinver

What should you know before starting in Kinver?

In Kinver, building control is provided by South Staffordshire Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Which options suit homes in Kinver?

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.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Kinver

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.

Which postcodes in Kinver do you work in?

We cover DY7 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Kinver, neighbouring Wollaston and Wordsley are covered too.

Will the new kitchen need Building Regulations approval?

A like-for-like replacement usually doesn't, but associated work might. New electrical circuits are notifiable, gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and moving a kitchen into a different room or removing a wall needs approval. We tell you what applies to your job at the survey, and the certificates are part of the handover.

Who approves kitchen fitting in Kinver?

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