What does a kitchen installation include?

Our kitchen installations in Hemel Hempstead cover the whole job, so you don't need to coordinate separate trades:

  • A survey of your existing kitchen and full measurements
  • Help planning the layout around how you use the room
  • Removal of the old kitchen
  • Building work such as knocking through or removing a wall
  • Carpentry, units, worktops and appliance fitting
  • Plastering, painting and decorating
  • Utility room installations

Kitchens are among the most important rooms in a home. Modern kitchens are multi-functional spaces for cooking, dining, socialising and relaxing, and our job is to turn yours into a practical, stylish space.

How do we plan your kitchen installation?

Planning and design is the most important stage. Before any work starts, we visit to assess your current kitchen and take all the measurements we need.

We then consult closely with you on the specification, your budget, the look you want and any additional fixtures and fittings, so we understand exactly what you want to achieve. We work with high-quality products and materials from leading manufacturers, and we keep your home safe and tidy throughout the installation.

Do kitchen installations need planning or Building Regulations approval?

A like-for-like kitchen replacement needs neither. New electrical circuits must meet Part P of the Building Regulations and be certified, new drainage must comply, and removing a load-bearing wall to create a kitchen-diner needs Building Regulations approval and a structural engineer's design.

Read our guide to removing a load-bearing wall if you are planning a knock-through.

Kitchen installations in Hemel Hempstead: frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for a new kitchen?

No. Replacing a kitchen inside your home doesn't need planning permission. If the kitchen is part of an extension, the extension itself may need it.

Does a kitchen refit need Building Regulations approval?

Like-for-like units don't, but new electrical circuits must meet Part P and be certified, new drainage must comply, and removing a load-bearing wall needs Building Regulations approval.

Can you knock through to make a kitchen-diner?

Yes. We remove walls, including load-bearing walls with a steel beam designed by a structural engineer, and then fit the new kitchen, so one team handles the whole job.

How long will we be without a kitchen?

It depends on the size of the kitchen and whether walls or services move. We agree a timetable before work starts and keep the sink connected for as long as possible.

Do you fit utility rooms too?

Yes. We install utility rooms, often alongside a new kitchen or as part of an extension.
