The Service
One Bracknell-based team. 15+ years of Berkshire pipework, drainage and installation work behind every job. Same-day service guaranteed across the region.
What it covers
Full kitchen installation covers strip-out of the existing kitchen, structural prep (walls, floors, services), first-fix plumbing, electrics and gas, cabinet assembly and hanging, worktop templating and fitting, appliance integration, tiling/splashbacks, second-fix services, sealing and final decoration.
Who it's for
Homeowners replacing tired kitchens, families changing layout when extending or knocking through, landlords upgrading rental kitchens for value and durability, and self-builders needing a fit team for a flat-pack package from Howdens, Magnet, Wren or DIY Kitchens.
When you need it
When the existing kitchen no longer works (layout, storage, sociability), when units are physically failing (delaminated doors, cracked worktops, broken hinges throughout), or when you're extending the property and the new kitchen footprint is part of the project.
Why professional matters
A kitchen is the most expensive and disruptive room in the house to fit. Cabinets that aren't level by 2mm read as wonky for the next twenty years. A worktop scribed badly to a wall is a permanent eyesore. A waste run installed without proper falls becomes the source of every smell in the house. Professional fitting is the difference between 'a new kitchen' and 'a kitchen that looks bespoke'.
What Happens If You Wait
Every plumbing and drainage problem follows the same curve — cheap to fix early, painful to fix late. Here's what the wait actually costs.
Floors in older Berkshire homes are rarely level. Cabinets hung without packing and levelling read as crooked from day one and can't be fixed without removing worktops and starting again.
Solid surface and stone worktops are templated once and fitted once. A bad template means the join over the hob is 4mm wide and visible for the life of the kitchen. Laminate worktops scribed badly to a wall leave a wedge gap that fills with crumbs.
Waste pipes laid with insufficient fall back up. Hot water flex tails twisted under appliances fail in three years. Gas connections done without a proper tightness test are a Gas Safe offence and an insurance void.
Common Mistakes We See Weekly
Our Process
01
Site visit, measure-up of the existing kitchen, layout discussion, and a fixed itemised quote for the fit. We work with your chosen supplier or recommend one if you'd like.
02
Old kitchen removed (re-homed via charity if usable), walls and floor prepared, services capped and made safe, any structural work agreed before we start.
03
New plumbing routes for sink, dishwasher, fridge and washing machine. Electrics first-fixed under Part P. Gas pipework run to the hob position by Gas Safe.
04
Cabinets levelled with packers and shimmed to the wall, doors aligned, worktops templated/scribed/fitted, appliances integrated and connected, splashbacks tiled or sealed.
05
Gas tightness test, electrical certification, hot/cold/waste run-through, door alignment check, deep clean, paperwork and 12-month guarantee issued.
Why It's Worth Doing Right
Plumbing, electrics, joinery and gas all under one roof — no waiting on subcontractors, no scope-gap finger-pointing.
Every cabinet shimmed and packed. Doors and drawers align cleanly. Worktops sit flat and joins are tight.
Stone and solid-surface tops templated to the actual cabinet line — not a CAD drawing. Joins where they belong, edges scribed to the walls properly.
Gas Safe certificates on all gas work. Part P certificates on all electrics. Notifications submitted to Building Control where required.
10–18 working days for a typical replacement kitchen. We give you a date the kitchen is usable, in writing, before we start.
Itemised invoices, gas and electrical certificates, manufacturer warranties registered in your name. Everything your insurer or future buyer might ask for.
Technical Detail
Kitchen fitting has industrialised over the last decade — most modern UK kitchens are flat-pack or rigid units from a handful of suppliers, fitted to broadly standard specifications. The skill is in the prep, the templating and the integration of services that vary house-to-house.
Local Knowledge
Bracknell-based, working daily across Wokingham, Maidenhead, Windsor, Ascot, Reading, Woodley, Woking and into West London. The right kit for Berkshire soil, Berkshire pipework and Berkshire weather.
Howdens (the standard for trade fits in Berkshire), Magnet, Wren, DIY Kitchens, Wickes, B&Q. Rigid construction preferred over flat-pack where budget allows — squareness and durability are noticeably better. We're agnostic on brand; we'll fit what you've bought and tell you honestly if the spec is a problem.
Laminate (cost-effective, modern decors, life ~10 years), solid wood (warm, requires oiling, moves seasonally), composite stone/quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, Cimstone — bombproof, joined inconspicuously, 25-year design life), granite (natural variation, sealed), Dekton/Lapitec (ultra-hard sintered stone). Each templates differently; we sequence the fit accordingly.
Built-in single ovens, double ovens, microwave/combi towers, induction and gas hobs, integrated fridges and freezers, dishwashers (full integration with door-on-door), wine coolers, boiling-water taps. Each has its own circuit, ventilation and service requirements — we plan them at first-fix, not when the unit is in the box on site.
Sink and waste routed with proper falls into the soil stack or external gully. Dishwasher and washing machine on isolated valves with stop-on flex hoses (never solid-piped without an isolator). Gas hob fed in 15mm copper from a CSGV, tested to GSIUR and certified. Sockets behind appliances on appropriate circuits; induction hobs on 32A dedicated radial. Notified electrical work submitted under Part P.
Residential kitchens are domestic spec throughout. Light commercial (rental HMOs, small offices, B&Bs) often demands stainless prep surfaces, commercial-rated extraction (with mechanical ducting and grease filters), interlocked gas safety systems and waste systems with grease management. Sean's commercial background means we can spec either correctly.
Questions
Still got a question we haven't answered? Phone the office and ask an engineer directly — no call centre, no script.
07949 996627Fit-only labour for a standard replacement kitchen typically runs £3,500–£6,500 depending on size, layout changes and worktop type. Larger kitchens with stone tops, integrated appliances and layout changes run £6,500–£12,000. The price is fixed before we start and excludes the cost of units, appliances and worktops unless we're also supplying.
Replacement same-layout kitchen: 10–14 days. Layout change with moved sink and hob: 14–18 days. New-build or extension fit-out: 18–25 days. We give you the date the kitchen is usable, in writing, before we start.
Partly. We aim to keep the sink and an isolated fridge useable wherever possible, but most clients set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere (microwave, kettle, induction plate) for the duration.
Yes. We fit all major brands. We'll review the order list before fitting and flag any missing parts — Howdens orders are often missing end panels or cornicing that we'll spot before strip-out.
Yes — we can supply Howdens, DIY Kitchens and several other ranges at trade pricing. See our kitchen design & supply page or ask on the quote visit.
Yes — gas by our Gas Safe engineer, electrics by our Part P electrician. All work certified and notified where required.
12 months on all workmanship (cabinet alignment, worktop joins, plumbing connections, gas, electrics, sealing). Manufacturer warranties on cabinets and appliances are registered in your name.
Bank transfer or card on completion for one-day jobs. Larger installs run on a clear schedule — deposit to secure the slot and order materials, a stage payment when first fix is complete, and the balance on sign-off. No cash-only nonsense, no pressure to pay before the work is signed off.
