Kitchen fitting in Moseley

Kitchen fitting in Moseley: approvals and local details

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 Moseley, building control is provided by Birmingham City Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

New circuits for an electric oven or induction hob are notifiable work under Part P.
Cooker hoods ducted to outside should extract at least 30 litres per second.
Adding sockets to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, as kitchens aren't classed as special locations.

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.

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.

Before you book in Moseley

How long will we be without a kitchen?

A typical kitchen takes 5–10 working days from strip-out to handover. Stone worktops add a gap of up to two weeks between templating and fitting, but temporary tops keep the sink and hob usable meanwhile. We give you the date the old kitchen comes out well in advance, so you can set up a kettle, microwave and washing-up space elsewhere.

Which postcodes in Moseley do you work in?

We cover B13 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Moseley, neighbouring Edgbaston and Kings Heath 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Moseley?

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