Covering Thatcham
Thatcham is about 13 miles west of Reading. We also cover Newbury (3 miles to the west), Basingstoke and Reading.
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 is 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.
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen
- Plastering and making good
- Units, worktops, sink and appliance fitting
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 |
| 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.
What should Thatcham homeowners check first?
- Moving the sink may need a new waste route or pump.
- Extraction ducted outside works far better than recirculation.
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.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
