Kitchen fitting in Stechford

What should you know before starting in Stechford?

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

New circuits for an electric oven or induction hob are notifiable work under Part P.
Adding sockets to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, as kitchens aren't classed as special locations.
Quartz and other stone worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding up to two weeks.

Which options suit homes in Stechford?

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.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Stechford

What guarantees come with a new kitchen?

Units, worktops, appliances, sinks and taps each carry their own manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms are set out in your quote. Keep the paperwork we hand over, as appliance manufacturers often ask for proof of installation date. If something we've fitted isn't right, call us and we'll come back to look at it.

Which postcodes in Stechford do you work in?

We cover B33 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Stechford, neighbouring Yardley and Castle Bromwich are covered too.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Stechford?

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