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.
If you live in Cirencester and are weighing up a new kitchen, the starting point is a visit to measure up and talk through what you want, which costs nothing. We cover homes across GL7, and a typical project of this kind in the South West lands somewhere in the £8,200–£22,500 bracket, including VAT. The exact figure depends on size, access and the finish you choose.

Local housing and a new kitchen
Golden Cotswold limestone defines towns and villages such as Cirencester, Stow and Tetbury, often with stone-slate roofs. Cheltenham is known for Regency stucco terraces and villas, Gloucester has Victorian brick terraces and interwar estates, the Stroud valleys have mill-era stone cottages, and the Forest of Dean uses its own sandstone.
Cotswold stone homes often need lime pointing, stone repairs and windows that suit conservation areas. Regency houses may call for render and decorating, while brick terraces and estate homes suit loft rooms and extensions.
Knowing the typical building types in Gloucestershire helps, but a survey of your own home in Cirencester is what decides the right approach to a new kitchen.
Do you need permission in Cirencester?
The notes below cover England, which is where Cirencester sits. Rules change and every property is different, so we speak to the council before pricing your job.
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
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Written quote
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for a new kitchen.
Getting ready
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 Cirencester property.
The work itself
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.
How we work
Kitchens in Cirencester: questions
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.
How much does a new kitchen cost?
A mid-range kitchen of around 5–7 linear metres of units costs £8,200–£22,500 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.
How long does it take to fit a kitchen?
Fitting a kitchen typically takes one to three weeks on site, depending on its size and how much the layout changes. Strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, and any plastering come first, then units, worktops, appliances and tiling. Stone worktops are templated once the base units are in and usually fitted a week or two later. We give you a day-by-day plan before we start.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
Which postcodes in Cirencester do you cover?
We cover GL7, along with the rest of Gloucestershire. 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.
