Homes in the East of England
Housing in the East of England ranges from post-war estates and modern developments to timber-framed and period homes in historic towns, so permitted development checks and conservation controls both feature regularly.
What is kitchen installation?
Kitchen installation covers removing the old kitchen, preparing the room, fitting new units and worktops, connecting plumbing and appliances, and finishing with tiling and flooring. We supply kitchens or fit ones you have bought.
- Plastering and making good
- Units, worktops, sink and appliance fitting
- Splashback tiling and flooring

Do you need permission for kitchen installation in Braintree?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
A new kitchen does not need planning permission.
What can affect kitchen installation?
- Worktops in stone or quartz are templated after the units go in, adding a week or two.
- Induction hobs often need a dedicated circuit.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
