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.
Across Nottinghamshire, people look into a new kitchen to replace something worn out, to make the house work better for them, or to get it ready for a sale. We cover Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop and Newark-on-Trent and the smaller towns around them, working to the rules that apply in England. Expect a guide of £7,700–£21,000, VAT included, in the East Midlands, and every quote follows a free visit.

Homes in Nottinghamshire
Nottingham has large areas of Victorian red-brick terraces, with Edwardian villas in Mapperley and Sherwood and big interwar council estates. Mansfield, Ashfield and Worksop have brick terraces and post-war housing built for mining communities, while Newark and Southwell keep Georgian centres. New estates continue to appear around Nottingham and the larger towns.
Terraces commonly suit loft rooms, rear extensions and repointing. Interwar semis take side extensions and garage conversions, and older buildings in Newark or Southwell may need conservation-area window choices.
A moderate, fairly dry climate, but the Trent flood plain affects low-lying areas, and former coal workings can influence ground conditions.
Planning and building rules in Nottinghamshire
Because Nottinghamshire falls under England's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
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
A visit to your home
We arrange a free site survey on a date convenient to you. We measure up, look at the existing structure and access, and discuss your plans for a new kitchen so the price reflects your home.
Your fixed price
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Booking the work
Next comes planning the work itself. We set a start date that suits you, line up the right trades, and make sure any approvals for a new kitchen are in place before the first day on site.
The work itself
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.
How we work
Questions about a new kitchen in Nottinghamshire
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
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.
What should I do to prepare for my kitchen fitting?
Before fitting starts, empty all cupboards and drawers, clear worktops and remove anything from the walls. Plan where you will make drinks and simple meals for a week or two, and agree where deliveries will be stored, as units take up a lot of space. Make sure we can access the stopcock, fuse board and gas meter. We confirm the delivery date and start date in advance.
What happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from a new kitchen, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
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.
