Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Building regulations

    In England, refitting a kitchen doesn't generally need building regulations approval, though drainage or electrical work may. A kitchen where there wasn't one before is likely to need it.

  2. Gas hobs and cookers

    In Great Britain, a business fitting a gas hob or cooker must be on the Gas Safe Register. Ask to see the engineer's ID card: the back lists the work they can do, such as cookers.

  3. Cooker circuits

    In England, if a built-in electric cooker needs a new circuit, the work must be certified under the Building Regulations.

  4. Extractor fans and hoods

    In England, when a kitchen is refitted, any existing extractor fan, or cooker hood that vents outside, should be kept or replaced. A newly added kitchen should have extract ventilation.

  5. Made to measure doors

    Replacement doors are made to measure. Ask the supplier to measure every door and drawer front, and to check the new doors fit your hinges.

Questions

Kitchen questions

My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?

Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.

What jobs can I request quotes for here?

Kitchen design, supply and fitting, bespoke and accessible kitchens, refurbishments, cabinets, doors and drawers, cabinet painting, worktops, and kitchen showrooms, suppliers and appliances. The full list is in the form's first step.

Do I need planning permission for a new kitchen?

In England, not usually, unless it is part of an extension. If your home is a listed building, check with your planning authority.

Can I request quotes for a kitchen adapted for a disabled person?

Yes. Choose Accessible Kitchens and describe what needs adapting in the description.

What is the best paint for kitchen cabinets?

It depends on what the doors are made of: solid wood, painted wood, foil and laminate each need different preparation and primer. Choose Painting Kitchen Cabinets and say what your doors are made of, so the painter can advise.

How much does it cost to replace kitchen doors?

It depends on how many doors and drawer fronts there are, the material and finish, and whether the hinges and handles change too. Choose Kitchen Doors - Supply & Installation and say how many in the description.
