Kitchen fitting in Walmley

What should you know before starting in Walmley?

Live in a conservation area or a listed building in Walmley? Check with Birmingham City Council before changing the outside of your home. Otherwise the main rules for your new kitchen are Building Regulations, and we'll explain at the survey which certificates you'll receive.

Moving a sink is simplest along an outside wall, where the waste can fall to a drain.

Choices to weigh up in Walmley

Fit-only for a kitchen you've bought

You buy from your chosen supplier and we fit it. Before ordering, we measure the room so the plan matches reality, including the positions of the window, boiler, soil pipe and radiators. On delivery we check the boxes against the order, so any shortages are chased with the supplier before fitting day.

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.

What does your new kitchen cost in Walmley?

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.

Questions about kitchen fitting in Walmley

Can I buy my own kitchen and have you fit it?

Yes. Many customers buy from a trade counter, a retailer or online and ask us to fit it. We'd suggest letting us measure the room before you order, so the plan matches the real walls and services. On delivery we check everything against the order, because shortages are much easier to sort before the old kitchen comes out.

Which postcodes in Walmley do you work in?

We cover B76 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Walmley, neighbouring Erdington and Castle Vale 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Walmley?

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