Hey there! Michael here from Nottingham Kitchen Fitter. If you've been thinking about getting those sleek, hidden appliances that make kitchens look amazing and work better, you're in the right place.
We've been fitting built-in appliances in Nottingham homes for over 15 years now. From Victorian terraces in The Park to new builds in Arnold, we've seen all sorts of kitchens and know exactly how to make built-in appliances work beautifully in them.
Kitchen Appliance Shop Nottingham
As Nottingham's trusted appliance specialists, we don't just fit kitchens - we help you choose the right appliances too. Our shop has all the built-in options you could want, from ovens and fridges to coffee machines and wine coolers.
We've personally picked each brand we sell based on what works best in Nottingham homes. We know the local water pressure can be tricky in parts of West Bridgford, so we recommend dishwashers that cope well with that. And for those lovely but quirky Victorian homes near the Lace Market, we've got special slim-line options that fit perfectly.
Built-in Appliance Options
When we're talking about integrated appliances, there's loads to choose from:
- Ovens and microwaves - Single, double or combo units that sit at eye level for easy use
- Hobs and extractors - Induction, gas or ceramic that disappear into your worktop
- Integrated fridge freezers - Hidden behind cabinet doors for a seamless look
- Integrated dishwashers - No more bulky white boxes ruining your kitchen's flow
- Built-in coffee machines - Wake up to barista-quality coffee without cluttered counters
- Warming drawers - Perfect for Sunday roasts when you're feeding the whole family
I was fitting a kitchen in Beeston last month with a built-in coffee machine, and the homeowner said it's changed their morning routine completely - no more countertop clutter and the coffee's better than the stuff they used to get in town!
We've noticed Nottingham families really like Bosch and Neff appliances. Through our partnership with Kudos Kitchens, we can offer these at great prices. The Neff Slide&Hide oven is super popular right now - my mum's got one in her kitchen in Sherwood and she won't stop going on about it!
Technical Requirements for Built-in Appliances
This is where having a local Nottingham kitchen specialist really helps. Built-in appliances need specific things to work properly:
Space and Ventilation
Most built-in appliances need breathing room. Our team knows how to create the right gaps around appliances to keep them working well and lasting longer. This is specially important in older Nottingham homes that weren't built with modern appliances in mind.
In a Victorian terrace in The Park area last year, we had to get creative with ventilation channels for an integrated fridge freezer. The solid brick walls were a challenge, but we found a solution that kept the appliance running perfectly while preserving the period features.
Electrical Requirements
Built-in appliances often need their own circuits. Our Nottingham-based electrician Mike makes sure everything's wired safely and meets all the building regs. He's especially good with the older electrical systems you find in Nottingham's period properties.
Plumbing Considerations
If you're getting an integrated dishwasher or a built-in coffee machine with a water connection, you'll need proper plumbing. Water pressure in some parts of Nottingham can vary - we know which models work best where you live.
Design Integration
The whole point of built-in appliances is making them blend in, right? We're proper good at this bit.
Seamless Installation Techniques
We've developed special methods to make appliances disappear into your kitchen design. This includes:
- Perfect door alignment so everything sits flush
- Hidden ventilation that doesn't mess up the look
- Clever use of lighting to enhance the seamless feel
Coordinating with Cabinetry
Your appliances should match your cabinets perfectly. We work with cabinet makers to get the right finish, whether that's:
- Matching panel colours exactly to your cabinet doors
- Finding the right handle style that works across everything
- Creating consistent lines and heights for a smooth look
Panel-Ready Options
Some of our customers in West Bridgford and The Park area love panel-ready appliances. These let us put the same door fronts on your appliances as on your cabinets, so you can't tell which is which!
We fitted a kitchen last autumn near Wollaton Park where all the appliances were panel-ready. When we finished, you couldn't spot a single appliance until the kitchen was actually being used. The homeowner said it was like a magic trick!
Built-in Appliance Case Study: Victorian Charm Meets Modern Tech
We recently completed a full built-in kitchen for a lovely couple with a Victorian property in Nottingham's Lace Market Conservation Area. They wanted all the modern conveniences without spoiling the character of their beautiful home.
The Challenge
- Limited space in a period property
- Conservation area restrictions
- Needed to preserve original features
- Wanted high-spec modern appliances
Our Solution
We designed a kitchen with completely integrated appliances that respected the original architecture. This included:
- A built-in fridge freezer disguised within a period-style larder unit
- An integrated dishwasher with a custom panel matching the original wood tones
- A modern induction hob that disappeared into the worktop when not in use
- A built-in oven and microwave combo hidden in what looks like original cabinetry
"Michael and his team somehow gave us all the mod cons we wanted while keeping the Victorian character we love. Our friends can't believe it's a new kitchen - it looks like it's always been here, just better!" - Jane & Tom, Lace Market
Professional Installation Service
Getting built-in appliances fitted right is dead important. Our Nottingham-based installation team has been doing this for years and knows exactly how to make sure everything works perfectly.
The Installation Process
- We carefully measure everything before ordering appliances
- We handle all the preparation work - electrical, plumbing, ventilation
- We fit the appliances with proper attention to detail
- We test everything thoroughly before we leave
- We show you how to use your new appliances
"They took so much care fitting our built-in fridge and oven. They even put down special mats to protect our floors and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. You wouldn't have known they'd been here except for the gorgeous new kitchen!" - Sarah, West Bridgford
Experience with Different Property Types
We've fitted built-in appliances in all sorts of Nottingham homes:
- Narrow Victorian terraces in The Park
- 1930s semi-detached homes in Beeston
- Modern apartments near the Victoria Centre
- Period properties around the Castle
- New builds in Edwalton and Gamston
Each type of property has its own quirks, and we know how to work with them all.
Cost Considerations
Let's be honest - built-in appliances usually cost more than freestanding ones. But there's good reasons for that:
Price Comparison
Built-in appliances typically cost about 15-30% more than similar freestanding models. However, they:
- Last longer (usually 2-3 years more on average)
- Use space more efficiently
- Look much nicer
Value Added to Your Property
Estate agents in Nottingham have told us that a kitchen with quality built-in appliances can add 3-5% to your home value. For the average Nottingham house, that could mean £7,000-£12,000 added value.
Package Options
We offer special package deals for Nottingham homeowners:
- Built-in starter package: oven, hob and hood
- Full kitchen suite: all major appliances integrated
- Luxury package: including coffee machine, wine cooler and warming drawer
Many of our customers in Wollaton and West Bridgford go for the full kitchen suite, while those in Beeston and Carlton often prefer the starter package with the option to add more later.
Questions People Ask About Built-in Appliances
Are built-in kitchen appliances more expensive than freestanding?
Yes, built-in appliances usually cost more upfront. You're paying for the design work that goes into making them fit seamlessly, plus the installation is more involved. But they often add more value to your home and last longer, so the extra cost balances out over time.
What are the advantages of built-in kitchen appliances?
The big ones are:
- They look loads better - no bulky appliances breaking up your kitchen lines
- They save space - specially important in smaller Nottingham homes
- They're often quieter because they're surrounded by cabinetry
- They create a more high-end, custom feel
- They're at the right height for using comfortably (no bending down to check the oven)
How long do built-in kitchen appliances last?
In our experience fitting kitchens across Nottingham, built-in appliances typically last 7-10 years, compared to 5-8 years for freestanding ones. They're generally better protected from knocks and temperature changes, which helps them last longer.
Can built-in appliances be repaired easily?
Yes, but it's best to get a professional. We offer repair services for all the built-in appliances we sell and install. Sometimes it takes a bit more work to access parts, but most repairs are straightforward for our experienced team.
What's the standard size for built-in kitchen appliances?
Most built-in appliances are designed to standard sizes:
- Most ovens are 60cm wide
- Fridges come in 55-60cm widths
- Dishwashers are typically 60cm wide
- Microwaves usually come in 50-60cm widths
For homes with non-standard dimensions (like some in Beeston and the Lace Market), we can source special slim-line options or create custom solutions.
Do built-in kitchen appliances add value to your home?
Absolutely! Real estate agents in Nottingham regularly tell us that quality built-in appliances make properties sell faster and for better prices. It's one of the best kitchen investments you can make.
