What Kitchen Fitting Involves
Kitchen fitting is more than placing units. We handle cabinet installation with precise positioning and levelling, worktop fitting with proper sealing (critical for stone), plumbing for water supply and drainage, electrical work with Part P compliance, flooring installation, and appliance coordination including gas work (Gas Safe certified).
Cabinet Assembly & Installation
Cabinet assembly, positioning, internal fittings (soft-close hinges, drawers, organisers).
Worktop Fitting & Sealing
Worktop measurement, fabrication coordination, sink cutouts, sealing.
Plumbing & Electrical Work
Plumbing and electrical circuits, splashbacks, wall finishing, painting.
Appliance Coordination
Full coordination including gas work (Gas Safe certified) and final connections.
Flooring Installation
Complete flooring preparation and installation to finish the kitchen.
Our comprehensive approach ensures your kitchen is built to the highest standards with every detail perfectly installed.

Fitted vs. Bespoke: Which is Right?
Both options deliver professional results. The right choice depends on your space, budget, and timeline.
Fitted Kitchens
Modular pre-designed units that install in 3-5 days with a 4-6 week lead time. Cost: £4,500-£12,000 for complete kitchen. Best for standard rectangular spaces, modern aesthetics, and quick turnaround. Typical lifespan is 10-20 years.
Bespoke Joinery
Custom-built by our joiners, hand-crafted to fit any space perfectly—alcoves, fireplaces, non-standard angles. Cost: £15,000-£50,000+ depending on materials. Better for awkward layouts, period properties, or long-term investment. Lasts 25-40+ years (2-3x longer than fitted, better home value return).
Semi-Bespoke Option
Semi-bespoke combines modular base units with custom uppers—good middle-ground option that balances cost and customization.
Victorian Terrace Solutions
Victorian properties in Uplands, Sketty (SR2, SA1 postcodes) have narrow kitchens with bay windows, original fireplaces, and sloped ceilings. Bespoke joinery preserves period character while maximizing awkward space. Example: Sketty Road properties often have fireplaces in alcoves—standard fitted kitchens don’t fit; bespoke design works around these features.
1930s Semi-Detached Homes
1930s semi-detached properties in Townhill, Mount Pleasant (SA1, SA5) typically feature 9-10ft wide galley kitchens with solid brick walls (9-inch construction). Space-maximizing bespoke design or smart fitted kitchen layout transforms cramped spaces. Example: SA5 semi with original galley kitchen—bespoke cabinets built to exact dimensions, adding storage where standard units leave gaps.
Modern Extensions & New Builds
Modern extensions and new builds feature open-plan kitchen-diners, often divided with stud wall partitioning to separate cooking and dining areas. We coordinate kitchen fitting as part of house extensions builds for seamless integration.
Heritage Area Compliance
Conservation Areas (Uplands, Townhill) have heritage restrictions—we understand period-appropriate finishes and compliance requirements for listed properties.
Expert Swansea Knowledge
Our extensive experience with Swansea property types ensures your kitchen design respects local architectural styles and building regulations.
Each Swansea home has unique requirements—we design solutions that fit perfectly while preserving the character of your property.

Materials & Components
Choosing the right materials impacts durability, maintenance, and the long-term value of your kitchen investment.
Worktops – The Heart of Your Kitchen
Laminate (£35-£150/m², 7-10 years) is budget-friendly. Solid wood (£150-£350/m², 15-25 years) offers traditional character. Quartz (£220-£900/m², 20+ years) is modern and low-maintenance. Granite (£270-£450/m², 20+ years) is luxury but high-maintenance.
Cabinetry Options
Fitted kitchens use MDF or chipboard (10-20 year lifespan), painted or veneered. Bespoke uses solid hardwoods (oak, walnut, ash) or plywood with natural stains or hand-painted finishes.
Flooring Materials
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are durable and easy-clean. Vinyl is budget-friendly and comfortable. Wood adds warmth but shows wear. Our wood flooring expertise is available if you want to coordinate both kitchen and flooring.
Hardware & Finishes
Soft-close hinges, premium handles, and integrated appliances add quality and longevity to your kitchen design.
Professional Specification
We help you select the right material combinations for your lifestyle, budget, and the specific conditions of your Swansea home.
Material quality directly affects your kitchen’s appearance, functionality, and how well it ages over time.

Timeline & Cost
Understanding the full project timeline and cost breakdown helps you plan with confidence.
Project Timeline: 8-12 Weeks Total
Design: 2-4 weeks. Manufacturing: 4-12 weeks. Active installation: 2-4 weeks. Key phases include initial consultation with measurements and design, material ordering, demolition and prep, rough-in work (plumbing, electrical, gas), cabinet installation, worktop fitting, flooring and finishes, appliance installation, and final inspection.
On-Site Installation
Once installation starts on-site, active work is typically 2-4 weeks. Most customers eat out or use a microwave elsewhere during the 2-3 week installation period.
Complete Kitchen Costs
Small kitchen (9m²): £4,500-£7,000. Medium (15m²): £7,500-£12,000. Large (20m²+): £12,000-£25,000+. Bespoke: £15,000-£50,000+.
Labour Costs
Labour cost: £250-£350/day; typical project 5-10 days = £1,500-£3,000+. We provide detailed itemized quotes with no hidden costs.
Additional Costs to Budget
Old kitchen removal (£200-£500), structural remediation if needed (£500-£2,000+), plumbing relocation (£300-£800), electrical upgrades (£400-£1,500), contingency buffer 15%.
We break down every cost transparently so you know exactly what to expect and can budget confidently for your kitchen project.

Why Hire Professionals vs. DIY
Professional kitchen fitting protects your investment and ensures compliance with all safety standards.
Speed & Quality
We deliver perfect alignment and invisible gaps in 3-5 days; DIY takes 2-3+ weeks with visible gaps and alignment issues.
Safety & Compliance
We ensure Gas Safe certification, Part P electrical compliance, and liability insurance; DIY carries safety risks and code violations.
Warranty & Protection
We guarantee 1-2 years labour and cover remedial work; DIY has no protection.
True Cost Analysis
While DIY appears cheaper initially, mistakes cost far more to fix than professional installation would have cost.
Home Value Investment
A professional kitchen adds £10,000+ to home value and lasts 20+ years, making it one of the best home improvements you can make.
Professional kitchen fitting gives you peace of mind, a beautiful result, and long-term value that DIY cannot match.
