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.
Brecon sits within our coverage for a new kitchen, as do neighbouring Merthyr Tydfil, Ebbw Vale and Aberdare. 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.

Homes in 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.
That variety is why a guide price for a new kitchen in Brecon is only a starting point; the survey shows what your particular property needs.
Do you need permission in Brecon?
Each UK nation sets its own consent rules, and Brecon is in Wales. What follows is a plain summary; we check the specifics for your property with the council before pricing anything.
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?
Survey and measure
We begin by looking at the job in person. During the free survey we discuss options, materials and budget for a new kitchen, and photograph or measure anything the quote needs to reflect.
Quote in writing
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for a new kitchen.
Booking the work
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
Finish and handover
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.

Frequently asked questions
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 Brecon 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.
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 does it take to fit a kitchen?
Fitting a kitchen typically takes one to three weeks on site, depending on its size and how much the layout changes. Strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, and any plastering come first, then units, worktops, appliances and tiling. Stone worktops are templated once the base units are in and usually fitted a week or two later. We give you a day-by-day plan before we start.
How much will a new kitchen cost in Brecon?
As a guide, expect to pay £7,400–£20,000 including VAT for a new kitchen in Brecon. 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.
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.
