Homes in Worcestershire
Worcester has Georgian and Victorian streets and interwar suburbs, black-and-white timber framing survives in many villages, and Malvern has Victorian villas, some built in Malvern stone. Redditch was expanded as a new town from the 1960s, Kidderminster has carpet-era terraces, and Bromsgrove and Evesham mix older centres with newer estates.
Timber-framed and stone buildings call for lime plaster and careful repairs. Terraces suit loft conversions and rear extensions, and new-town homes often take window, roofline and cladding renewal.
None of this holds for every street in Droitwich, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing a new kitchen rather than assuming from its age alone.
Permissions for a new kitchen in Droitwich
Homes in Droitwich come under the regulations for England, summarised below. We don't rely on general rules alone: we confirm the position for your address with the council before a quote goes out.
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.
Written quote
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.
Getting ready
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Build and hand over
The work is carried out to the agreed specification, with floors and furniture protected and the site kept tidy. At the end we clean up, walk through the finished job with you and hand over any certificates.

Common questions
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.
Do you cover Bromsgrove, Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn?
Yes. As well as Droitwich, we cover Bromsgrove, Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn and the rest of Worcestershire. 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.
Can a new kitchen be part of a knock-through?
A new kitchen often goes hand in hand with removing a wall to create an open-plan kitchen-diner. The wall removal, steel beam and building control approval are done first, then the plastering, and finally the kitchen is fitted into the new space. Doing both under one plan avoids fitting a kitchen twice and lets you design the layout for the larger room.
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.
