Choices to weigh up in Tividale

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.

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.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Tividale

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 Tividale?

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Tividale?

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