Kitchen fitting in Northfield

What should you know before starting in Northfield?

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

Which options suit homes in Northfield?

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.

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.

On delivery we check everything against the order, because shortages are much easier to sort before the old kitchen comes out.
