Kitchen fitting in Rowley Regis

What should you know before starting in Rowley Regis?

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 Rowley Regis, building control is provided by Sandwell Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Moving a sink is simplest along an outside wall, where the waste can fall to a drain.
Cooker hoods ducted to outside should extract at least 30 litres per second.
Gas hobs and cookers must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Options to consider in Rowley Regis

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Rowley Regis?

Your questions answered

How should I prepare for the kitchen fitters?

Empty all cupboards and drawers, clear the worktops and move the fridge contents somewhere else. Set up a temporary kitchen in another room with a kettle, microwave and a washing-up bowl. Make sure there's a clear route from the front door to the kitchen, and tell us about pets, parking and working hours that suit your household.

Which postcodes in Rowley Regis do you work in?

We cover B64, B65 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Rowley Regis, neighbouring Quinton and Oldbury 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Rowley Regis?

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