Before your new kitchen in Olton
Work like this in Olton rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Solihull Council is the authority.
- Checking a self-supplied kitchen against the order on delivery saves days of waiting for missing parts.
- Turning another room into a kitchen is likely to need Building Regulations approval, from Solihull Council or a registered building control approver.
- Gas hobs and cookers must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

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.

Before you book in Olton
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.
