Covering Christchurch
Our coverage around Christchurch (BH23) also includes Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole.
Homes in the South West
The South West mixes stone and render cottages, Victorian terraces in the larger towns and modern estates, and many historic centres are conservation areas where materials and roof shapes are closely controlled.
What does kitchen installation involve?
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.
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen
- Plumbing, electrics and gas alterations
- Splashback tiling and flooring
What will kitchen installation cost?
Indicative costs for kitchen installation. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
| Kitchen installation | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Fit only (your units) | £3,000 to £7,000 |
| Supply and fit, mid-range | £10,000 to £20,000 |

Do you need permission for kitchen installation in Christchurch?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
A new kitchen does not need planning permission. Some electrical work must be notified under building regulations, and gas work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
What can affect kitchen installation?
- Worktops in stone or quartz are templated after the units go in, adding a week or two.
- Moving the sink may need a new waste route or pump.
What are the steps?
- 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.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
