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 Powys, 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 Newtown, Brecon, Welshpool and Glyn-neath and the smaller towns around them, working to the rules that apply in Wales. Expect a guide of £7,400–£20,000, VAT included, in Wales, and every quote follows a free visit.

Housing across Powys
Powys is largely rural, with stone farmhouses and cottages under slate roofs, and timber-framed black-and-white buildings in Montgomeryshire towns near the English border. Brecon has Georgian streets, Llandrindod Wells has Victorian spa-town villas, and towns such as Newtown and Welshpool mix older centres with post-war and newer estates.
Stone and timber-framed homes need breathable lime finishes and careful roof repairs. Rural homes commonly take extensions, porches and driveways, and town terraces suit loft conversions and window replacement.
Upland weather dominates, with heavy rain, snow and hard frosts on higher ground, and remote sites can need extra planning for access and deliveries.
Planning and building rules in Powys
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Powys comes under Wales, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
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.
How does the job run?
A visit to your home
First, someone visits your home in Powys 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
After the survey we send a quote for a new kitchen that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
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.
Finish and handover
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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 much will a new kitchen cost in Powys?
As a guide, expect to pay £7,400–£20,000 including VAT for a new kitchen in Powys. 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.
