Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Staffordshire?

Guide prices start at £2,200 and run to £28,000 depending on size and specification. Supply and fit of a mid-range 10–12 unit kitchen with laminate worktops in a three-bed semi: around £10,500–£14,500.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Staffordshire?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Staffordshire is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
