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.
Every house in Salford is a little different, so we never price a new kitchen from a brochure. We look at the structure, access and existing finishes first, then put in writing a fixed figure for the scope we settle on. As a rough steer, homeowners in the North West should budget £7,600–£21,000 including VAT, with work typically taking 1–3 weeks on site.

Local housing and a new kitchen
Rows of Victorian red-brick terraces fill much of Manchester, Salford and the mill towns, with stone terraces in the Pennine fringes around Oldham and Saddleworth. South Manchester has Edwardian semis and villas, Wythenshawe was built as a large interwar garden suburb, and city-centre apartments and new estates continue to grow.
Rainfall is high, especially near the Pennines, so brickwork, gutters and roof coverings take a steady soaking and freeze-thaw over winter.
These patterns matter for a new kitchen: older walls, roofs and floors in Salford can need different materials or extra preparation compared with newer homes.
Permissions for a new kitchen in Salford
Salford is in England, 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 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.
What happens after you get in touch?
Survey and measure
First, someone visits your home in Salford to see the space, take measurements and note anything that could affect the work, such as access or the condition of what is there. There is no charge for this visit.
Your fixed price
Next you receive a written quote with a fixed price for the agreed specification. It lists what is included, what is not, and how payments are staged, so you can compare it properly.
Plan and prepare
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
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.

Questions about a new kitchen in Salford
Which postcodes in Salford do you cover?
We cover M2, M3, M5 and M6, along with the rest of Greater Manchester. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Which worktop material should I choose?
Laminate worktops are the most affordable and come in many stone and wood effects, though they can be damaged by hot pans. Solid wood is warm and repairable but needs regular oiling. Quartz is very hard-wearing, stain-resistant and needs little maintenance, but it costs more and is made to template after the units are fitted. We bring samples and explain the care each one needs.
