Kitchen fitters in Cambridge

Design, survey, then a written programme

Nothing is ordered for a Cambridge kitchen until the room is measured, the services are planned and the layout is checked against real door swings and worktop runs. That is what stops the classic mid-fit discovery that the fridge blocks a door.

CB1 to CB4 houses and what they need

Cambridge is bay-fronted Victorian terraces around Mill Road, Romsey and Chesterton, 1930s semis in Cherry Hinton, and newer apartments and houses at Trumpington and Eddington. Central terraces have solid walls, suspended timber floors and very tight access, so pipe routes, boarding and waste removal are planned at survey rather than improvised. We plan the first fix around the construction we actually find on the survey.

One team for the whole fit

Strip-out, plumbing, electrics, carcassing, worktops, tiling, flooring and decoration are all covered by our own team and long-standing gas and electrical specialists we manage directly. You get one programme and one point of contact.

Structural work if the layout needs it

If the kitchen only works by opening into the dining room or a side return, we price the steel, propping and building control sign-off as its own line — engineer-designed, not eyeballed.

Working across Cambridge

Cambridge is around twenty-four miles from our base, so work runs continuous weeks with deliveries timed to each stage. In most houses you have a working sink and cooker back inside eight working days even though the job runs two to three weeks.

Cambridge is bay-fronted Victorian terraces around Mill Road, Romsey and Chesterton, 1930s semis in Cherry Hinton, and newer apartments and houses at Trumpington and Eddington.

Layouts that actually work in Cambridge

Narrow galley kitchens and rear returns are common, so we test door swings, appliance clearances and worktop runs on the drawing before a single unit is ordered.

Access and deliveries in Cambridge

Terraced streets and restricted parking mean deliveries are booked to a slot, units are carried through protected routes and waste leaves the same week.

How much does a new kitchen cost in Cambridge?

A small Cambridge kitchen designed, supplied and fitted starts around £6,500; a standard family kitchen sits between £9,000 and £13,000, and a large island kitchen up to about £16,000. Fit-only starts at £2,600.

Can you fit a kitchen I have already bought?

Yes, and it is common. We check the plan and unit schedule against a measured survey before delivery so missing panels and wrong-handed units are caught before fitting day.

How long will I be without a kitchen?

The whole job runs two to three weeks, but we get the sink and cooker back on inside the first eight working days wherever the layout allows.

Do you handle worktops?

Yes — laminate and solid timber fitted by us, and quartz or granite templated and installed by the stone fabricators we use regularly, sequenced into the programme so there is no dead week.

Can you knock through to make it open plan?

Yes. We price the structural opening separately with an engineer’s calculation, propping sequence and building control sign-off, which is a normal part of Cambridge kitchen work.

Are the gas and electrics certified?

Yes. New circuits, appliance connections and any gas work are done and certified by registered specialists and the paperwork comes to you at handover.

How soon can you start in Cambridge?

Lead time is roughly four to six weeks for Cambridge kitchens, mainly driven by unit and worktop lead times rather than our diary.

What if the walls and floors are out of level?

Very common. Units are scribed and packed to a laser line and floors are levelled where needed, priced as its own line, because fitting to a bowed wall is what makes doors look wrong forever.
