Options to consider in Tamworth
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.
How much should you budget in Tamworth?
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.

Which postcodes in Tamworth do you work in?
We cover B77, B79 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tamworth, neighbouring Fazeley and Polesworth 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.
Who approves kitchen fitting in Tamworth?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Tamworth is provided by Tamworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
