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.
For a homeowner in Colwyn Bay, planning a new kitchen tends to begin with two questions: what will it cost, and how disruptive will it be? Our guide range is £7,400–£20,000 including VAT, and a typical job runs to 1–3 weeks on site. Both numbers firm up once we have seen the property, measured up and agreed exactly what is included.

Building in Colwyn Bay
Wrexham has Victorian terraces in red Ruabon brick, alongside interwar and post-war estates. The north coast resorts of Rhyl, Prestatyn and Colwyn Bay have Victorian villas, guest-house terraces and bungalows, while Denbighshire and Flintshire villages use local stone under Welsh slate roofs.
The north Wales coast is exposed to wind and salt from the Irish Sea, and the Clwydian hills inland are wetter and colder.
That mix of housing shapes how we approach a new kitchen in Colwyn Bay: the age and construction of your home affect the materials, the method and, in the end, the price.
Do you need permission in Colwyn Bay?
Colwyn Bay is in Wales, so the planning and building rules set out below are the ones that apply. We confirm the details with the council before we quote.
Internal improvements do not need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
Building Regulations in Wales cover notifiable electrical work, drainage, ventilation and any structural change.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
Survey and measure
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for a new kitchen, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Your fixed price
We turn the survey notes into a written quote. The price is fixed for the specification we agree, and the document sets out materials, scope and payment stages in plain language.
Getting ready
Before anyone starts, we confirm the programme in writing, check whether consents are required and arrange deliveries. If a skip or scaffolding on the road needs a permit, we apply for it.
Build and hand over
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.
How we work
Common questions
Can you combine a new kitchen with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan a new kitchen alongside other work on your Colwyn Bay home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
Do I need a new extractor fan?
A kitchen needs effective extraction to remove steam, cooking smells and grease, and building regulations set minimum rates for new or altered kitchens. A ducted extractor that vents outside is the most effective, while recirculating hoods filter the air and return it to the room. We check whether a duct can reach an outside wall and recommend a hood that suits your hob and room size.
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.
Do you cover Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn?
Yes. As well as Colwyn Bay, we cover Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn and the rest of Clwyd. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
You are usually without a working kitchen for one to two weeks, from strip-out until the sink and hob are reconnected. If stone worktops are being made to template, we can fit a temporary worktop so you can use the sink while you wait. Many people set up a microwave, kettle and fridge in another room. We plan the order of work to keep this period as short as possible.
