What a Kitchen Island or Breakfast Bar Installation Covers

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • Structural work such as knocking through a wall to create the open-plan space an island sits in - that's arranged and costed separately
  • Upgrading the property's electrical consumer unit or incoming supply, if the existing circuit can't take the extra load
  • Moving drainage or supply pipes over any distance, which adds plumbing cost beyond a straightforward sink connection
  • New flooring under or around the island footprint
  • Planning permission or building control sign-off for any structural alteration, which stays with the homeowner or their builder

From First Measure to Final Sign-Off

  1. Free home visit and measure -- We come out to measure the room, check clearance around doorways and appliances, and talk through what the island or breakfast bar needs to do - extra worktop, storage, seating, or all three.
  2. Design and material choice -- CAD and interactive floor-planning software gives a photo-realistic view of the finished island before anything is ordered, so worktop, cabinet finish and seating can be seen in place first.
  3. Written quotation and agreement -- A full, no-obligation written quotation with no hidden extras, and a written agreement covering scope and price, before any work starts.
  4. First-fix trades -- Joiners build and position the cabinet carcass, a Part P approved electrician runs power and USB points, and where the design needs a sink or hob, an NVQ-qualified plumber and a Gas Safe engineer handle those connections.
  5. Worktop templating and fitting -- The worktop is laser templated on site, then cut and fitted with seamless joints, whether that's quartz, granite, solid wood or laminate.
  6. Final checks, sign-off and warranty -- Appliances are tested and finishing touches completed, then the job ends with a formal sign-off and a written installation warranty - five years on labour and installation, two years on products.

Island, Peninsula or Breakfast Bar Extension - Which Fits Your Kitchen

Option Space Needed What's Involved Typical Cost Best For
Freestanding or fixed island 90cm clearance all round (80cm in some Nottingham terraces) Cabinet build, plus optional plumbing, electrics and gas for hobs or sinks £1,200 - £10,000+ Open-plan kitchens with room to walk all the way around
Peninsula Attached to one wall, less floor clearance needed Cabinet build tied into the existing worktop run Similar to a smaller island L-shaped kitchens and tighter terraces where a full island won't fit
Breakfast bar extension No extra floor footprint - extends the existing worktop Worktop extension on a support bracket Lower end of the budget range Small kitchens wanting a casual eating spot without a full rebuild

Who's Actually On Site Fitting Your Island

An island or breakfast bar is rarely just a cabinetry job. The moment you add a sink, a hob, or a bank of sockets and USB points into the middle of the room, you've got joinery, plumbing, electrics and sometimes gas all needing to land in the same spot on the same day - which is why that work is split across City & Guilds trained joiners for the carpentry, NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds certified plumbers for any sink connection, Part P approved electricians with full safety certification for the power run, and Gas Safe registered engineers for a hob or range, rather than asking one fitter to cover all four trades. That coordination is handled in-house rather than subcontracted out and chased up - we're a family-run business, not a call centre passing your job between departments, and the person who measures your kitchen stays connected to the people who build and fit it. Over 20 years and 800+ kitchens across Nottingham and the East Midlands - from Victorian terraces in the Lace Market to modern city-centre apartments - has meant fitting plenty of islands into rooms where the electrics or plumbing needed extending before the cabinet could even go in. Every job starts with a written agreement and ends with a formal sign-off, backed by a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on products. We're members of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses.

Areas We Cover Around Nottingham and the East Midlands

Most island and breakfast bar installations are in and around Nottingham itself, from the narrow Victorian terraces of the Lace Market and St Ann's to the open-plan new builds in Arnold and West Bridgford. Working out from a regional workshop, we also cover Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire within roughly 15-20 miles - Wollaton, Beeston, Sneinton, Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Stapleford, Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, extending out to Chesterfield and the Derbyshire border. Around Wollaton, that often means a classic-meets-contemporary island to sit alongside a more traditional house style near Wollaton Hall; in West Bridgford and along the Trent it's usually about planning delivery and access around the river crossing at Trent Bridge; and in the Lace Market and Creative Quarter, islands tend to lean industrial-chic, with exposed brick backdrops and matte-black hardware.
