What are homes like around Great Malvern?
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.
The Severn and Teme flood regularly, and the Malvern Hills are more exposed to wind and rain than the Vale of Evesham.
So when we survey a Great Malvern property for a new kitchen, the first step is working out how it was built and what has been changed since.
Do you need permission in Great Malvern?
Great Malvern is in England, so the planning and building rules set out below are the ones that apply. We confirm the details with the council before we quote.
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.
How does the job run?
We look at the job
First, someone visits your home in Great Malvern 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
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.
Getting ready
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.
Build and hand over
Our trades complete a new kitchen while your point of contact keeps you updated. When everything is finished, we clear the site, take away waste and go through the result with you before handover.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Ledbury, Worcester and Tewkesbury?
Yes. As well as Great Malvern, we cover Ledbury, Worcester and Tewkesbury 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.
How much does a new kitchen cost?
A mid-range kitchen of around 5–7 linear metres of units costs £7,800–£21,500 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.
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.
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.
