0115-824-4201
What's Included in a Derby Kitchen Fit, and What Isn't
- Full project management with one point of contact from the first site visit through to final sign-off
- Electrical work certified to current Part P building regulations, from extra sockets to a complete rewire
- Plumbing for sinks, taps, dishwashers, washing machines and heating changes, done to current standards with proper certification
- A Gas Safe registered engineer for hob and range connection and commissioning
- Worktop templating, cutting and fitting done in-house across granite, quartz, wood or laminate
- Bespoke cabinetry and joinery installation, including on-site adjustment of handmade pieces for a precise fit
- Structural modifications where needed, plus tiling and finishing work
- Building control liaison - we submit the paperwork and manage inspections for structural, electrical or gas work on your behalf
- Daily site clean-up with dust sheets, plastic barriers and extraction equipment, and full debris removal
- A final quality inspection and written installation warranty before the job is signed off as complete
Not Included / Costed Separately
- The kitchen units, worktops and appliances themselves - a fitting quote covers labour and installation; materials and appliances are priced separately as part of a full design-supply-install package
- Statutory planning or listed building consent fees - we handle the applications and liaise with conservation officers, but any fee charged by the local authority is payable by the homeowner
- Work beyond the agreed scope that only becomes apparent once a wall or floor is opened up - this is always priced and agreed with you before we proceed, never added to the bill afterwards
- Same-day emergency response outside our normal Nottingham, Derby and Derbyshire coverage area
How This Compares to a General Builder or a National Chain
| Nottingham Kitchen Fitter | General builder | National kitchen chain | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade coordination | One in-house team of joiners, plumbers, electricians, gas engineers and plasterers, one point of contact | Sub-contracts kitchen trades on a job-by-job basis | Installers are often third-party subcontractors booked centrally |
| Certification | City & Guilds carpentry, NVQ Level 2 plumbing, Part P electrical and Gas Safe gas work, all in-house | Varies job to job, not always kitchen-specific | Varies by regional installer, harder to check locally |
| Design preview before you commit | CAD and interactive floor-planning software shows a photo-realistic layout first | Rarely offered | Sometimes available in-showroom only |
| Guarantee | 5 years on labour and installation, 2 years on products, in writing | Varies, often verbal only | Standard warranty, claims handled via a national call centre |
| Who you deal with | The people actually designing and fitting your kitchen | The builder you hired, who may sub out the kitchen work | A regional installer assigned after your showroom order |
Family-Run and Directly Accountable: What Sets Us Apart in Derby
Nottingham Kitchen Fitter is still a family-run business after more than 20 years, and that changes what happens when something needs deciding mid-project - on a Derby job, that's usually the same person who did your original site visit, not a different name each time you call. We're not a national chain assigning your job to whichever installer is free that week: across 800+ completed kitchens, the people who measure, design and quote your kitchen are generally the ones fitting it, and we're proud members of the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) as a small, accountable business rather than a franchise. Before any unit is ordered, our CAD and interactive floor-planning software gives you a photo-realistic layout to review on screen, so cabinet runs, appliance positions and worktop overhangs are agreed before the
fit starts, not worked out on the day once units are already delivered. We're also straightforward about cost: we don't win jobs by specifying thinner worktops or budget hinges to shave a quote down, a free home visit leads to a full written quotation with no hidden extras, and kitchens typically start from around £5,000, with finance available through an FCA-regulated partner for anyone who wants to spread the cost. Every trade on the job, from carpentry through to plastering, is carried out by someone holding the relevant qualification, backed by a written agreement before work starts and a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation once it's finished - and because it's our own name on that warranty rather than a subcontractor's, there's a person to come back to if anything needs a second look after handover.
Where We Fit Kitchens Around Derby
Derby is one of our core coverage areas, worked from a regional workshop within roughly a 15-20 mile radius that also takes in Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor toward the Nottinghamshire border. Within Derby itself we fit kitchens across a genuine mix of housing stock: Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Normanton, Rose Hill and Peartree, where floors and door reveals are rarely square and worktops often need scribing to an out-of-true wall rather than cut dead straight; 1930s semis in Chaddesden, Alvaston and Allestree, where original chimney breasts and understairs cupboards tend to dictate the layout; and newer estate housing in Mickleover, Oakwood and Chellaston, where plots are more standard but electrical and plumbing runs still need checking against the actual build rather than assumed from the plans. We also cover city-centre and Pride Park apartments, where lift access, parking permits and delivery windows
are usually the bigger practical hurdle than the kitchen fit itself. If you're just outside these areas, get in touch - our radius stretches on toward Chesterfield and Mansfield, and we can normally confirm whether a job is in scope over the phone before booking a site visit.
