A new kitchen installation replaces your old units, worktops and appliances with a new layout fitted to your room, including the plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing needed to leave a complete, working kitchen.
Whatever prompted you to look into a new kitchen, whether wear and tear, a growing family or plans to move, we can survey your Crewe home and give you a price in writing. Homes in the North West typically come in at £7,600–£21,000, VAT included, for this kind of work. We also cover Winsford, Kidsgrove and Congleton, and the same steps apply wherever you are in Cheshire.

Homes in Cheshire
Chester mixes Georgian and Victorian terraces with black-and-white revival frontages, and red sandstone shows up across the west of the county. Crewe has railway-era brick terraces, Macclesfield has mill workers' cottages, and Wilmslow, Knutsford and Alderley Edge are known for large detached homes. Interwar semis and newer estates surround Warrington and Northwich.
The Cheshire Plain is fairly mild, but rainfall rises towards the Pennine edge, and parts of mid Cheshire have a history of subsidence linked to salt extraction.
Knowing the typical building types in Cheshire helps, but a survey of your own home in Crewe is what decides the right approach to a new kitchen.
Do you need permission in Crewe?
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Crewe comes under England, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
Internal work such as a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plastering or decorating does not need planning permission in England, unless the house is listed, when listed building consent may be needed even for internal changes.
Some internal work is covered by Building Regulations: new electrical circuits and work in bathrooms (Part P), new drainage, structural changes, extractor ventilation and any new window. Notifiable work is certified by a registered installer or by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
From survey to handover
Survey and measure
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about a new kitchen.
Price and scope agreed
After the survey we send a quote for a new kitchen that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Crewe property.
Finish and handover
Our trades complete a new kitchen while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.

Frequently asked questions
Which postcodes in Crewe do you cover?
We cover CW1 and CW2, along with the rest of Cheshire. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
Can I move my sink or cooker to a new position?
Moving the sink, hob or cooker is usually possible but adds cost, because waste pipes, water supplies, gas and electrics have to be rerouted. Sinks need waste pipes to fall towards the drain, so the position of the outside wall matters. Hobs may need a new circuit or gas run and a suitable extractor route. We check what is practical during the survey and price each change separately.
How much does a new kitchen cost?
A mid-range kitchen of around 5–7 linear metres of units costs £7,600–£21,000 supplied and fitted. Value kitchens in smaller rooms cost less, and premium kitchens with stone worktops, an island and high-end appliances cost more. Moving the sink or hob, new electrics and replastering also affect the total. As a guide, allow roughly £1,000–£2,800 per linear metre of units plus fixed fitting costs. We confirm a fixed price after the survey.
Do I need planning permission in Crewe?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Crewe is in England, so England's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
Can a new kitchen be part of a knock-through?
A new kitchen often goes hand in hand with removing a wall to create an open-plan kitchen-diner. The wall removal, steel beam and building control approval are done first, then the plastering, and finally the kitchen is fitted into the new space. Doing both under one plan avoids fitting a kitchen twice and lets you design the layout for the larger room.
