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.
Anyone planning a new kitchen in Aldershot wants three things: a clear price, a realistic timetable and a tidy job. We publish a guide of £9,000–£24,500 including VAT for the South East up front, explain that work normally takes 1–3 weeks on site, and confirm both in writing after a free survey of your property.

What should you budget for a new kitchen in Aldershot?
To help you plan, we show what a new kitchen typically costs in Aldershot instead of holding figures back for a sales call. The range is £9,000–£24,500 with VAT, using rates in the South East that are about 12% above the national guide. A free survey then fixes your actual price.
| Type of job | What it usually involves | Guide in Aldershot |
|---|---|---|
| Value kitchen | Standard units and laminate worktops in a small or medium room, keeping the existing layout. | £5,600–£10,000 |
| Mid-range kitchen | Better units, some layout changes, built-in appliances and a choice of worktops. | £10,000–£22,500 |
| Premium kitchen | High-end units, stone worktops, an island and premium appliances in a larger room. | £22,500–£45,000 |
The main things that change the figure:
- Length of units and the size of the room
- Unit range, door finish and worktop material
- Appliances, including built-in and premium models
- Tiling, flooring and any wall removal or replastering
What’s included?
- Measured survey and layout planning for your room
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen
- Electrics and new circuits by qualified electricians, with certificates
- Gas connections by a suitably registered engineer where needed
- Units, worktops and appliances fitted, levelled and adjusted
- Splashbacks or wall tiling to your chosen design
What are homes like around Aldershot?
Southampton and Portsmouth have dense Victorian terraces, with plenty of post-war rebuilding after wartime bombing. Winchester keeps Georgian and medieval streets, Basingstoke expanded rapidly with 1960s and 1970s estates, and New Forest villages feature cob, thatch and brick. Brick and flint is common on the chalk downs, and new estates ring most towns.
Coastal areas along the Solent face salt and wind, while chalk downland is better drained but exposed; inland clay can move in dry summers.
In Aldershot, as elsewhere in Hampshire, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in a new kitchen.
Planning and building rules in Aldershot
Which rules apply depends on where you live. For Aldershot, the answer is England, and the points below reflect that; we verify them with the council before quoting.
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.
The four stages
We look at the job
First, someone visits your home in Aldershot 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.
Written quote
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.
Dates and permissions
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
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.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
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 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.
Do you cover Farnham, Farnborough and Fleet?
Yes. As well as Aldershot, we cover Farnham, Farnborough and Fleet and the rest of Hampshire. 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.
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.
How long will a new kitchen take?
On a typical home, allow 1–3 weeks on site. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
