Covering Reading
Our coverage around Reading (RG1, RG6, RG30) also includes Henley-on-Thames, Wokingham and Crowthorne.
Homes in the South East
The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.
What does kitchen installation involve?
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.
- Design and layout check
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen
- Plumbing, electrics and gas alterations

Do you need permission for kitchen installation in Reading?
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 should Reading homeowners check first?
- Worktops in stone or quartz are templated after the units go in, adding a week or two.
- Induction hobs often need a dedicated circuit.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- 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.
