Kitchen installation in Dorset

Covering Dorset

We cover Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch, and the towns around them.

Homes in the South West

In the South West, matching local stone, render or slate is often the main design question, and conservation areas and listed buildings are common in historic towns.

What goes into kitchen installation?

A good kitchen fit is mostly preparation: straight walls, level floors, services in the right place and an extraction route that works. Our teams handle the full sequence including electrics and gas connections by suitably registered engineers.

How much should I budget for kitchen installation?

Use these ranges to budget for kitchen installation; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.

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
Supply and fit, high-end	£20,000 to £40,000

What approvals does kitchen installation need in England?

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 change the price or programme?

Moving the sink may need a new waste route or pump.
Extraction ducted outside works far better than recirculation.

From first call to completion

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.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

What people ask before starting

Do I need building regulations for a new kitchen?

Some electrical work and any structural changes must be approved or notified.

Will I be without water?

Only briefly while the sink is connected; we keep downtime short.

Can you visit a house in Dorset to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
