Kitchen fitting in Streetly

Planning your new kitchen in Streetly

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 Streetly, building control is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Quartz and other stone worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding up to two weeks.
New circuits for an electric oven or induction hob are notifiable work under Part P.
Moving a sink is simplest along an outside wall, where the waste can fall to a drain.

Choices to weigh up in Streetly

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.

Kitchen with a new open-plan layout

When a kitchen goes in alongside a knock-through or extension, the steel position, lighting, sockets and radiators are planned around the kitchen design. Fitting the kitchen last, after plastering and screeding are finished and dry, protects the new units and means the flooring can run through both rooms without joins.

Your questions answered

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.

How do I book a survey in Streetly?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new kitchen and arrange a time to visit.

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.

Does Walsall Council need to approve my new kitchen?

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