Choices to weigh up in Norton Canes

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.

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.

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.
