Before giving a price we want to see the property: the condition of what's there now, the access, and anything that might need extra work. The guide range for Wales is £7,400–£20,000 including VAT, and your written quote will spell out exactly what that covers.

What are homes like around Blackwood?
The Rhondda, Cynon and Merthyr valleys are lined with stone terraces built for mining families, stepped along steep hillsides. Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Merthyr Tydfil have Victorian centres, and Bridgend has grown with large modern estates alongside interwar and post-war housing.
Valley terraces commonly need repointing, roof repairs, rendering and window replacement, and loft conversions can add useful space. Newer estate homes often take garage conversions, porches and landscaping.
These patterns matter for a new kitchen: older walls, roofs and floors in Blackwood can need different materials or extra preparation compared with newer homes.
Permissions for a new kitchen in Blackwood
Which rules apply depends on where you live. For Blackwood, the answer is Wales, and the points below reflect that; we verify them with the council before quoting.
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.

Common questions
How much does a new kitchen cost?
A mid-range kitchen of around 5–7 linear metres of units costs £7,400–£20,000 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.
How much will a new kitchen cost in Blackwood?
As a guide, expect to pay £7,400–£20,000 including VAT for a new kitchen in Blackwood. That range is adjusted for Wales, which runs about 8% below the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
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 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 Blackwood 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.
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.
