I had a professional experience from the first point of contact to the finish of the job. Jay & Jordan are both very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and stick to the agreement. It was a straight forward job, and that's exactly how they handled it. No complications. Handed over a clean and tidy site. Have asked them to quote for another job. I have advised them to bring up their online presence to give potential customers more information about the company.

Russell and Tom are very reliable people who can offer high quality for renovation, tiling, plastering, and, like in our case, kitchen fitting. You can talk openly with them and they can also provide good advice that meets your personal budget and expectations. The job was finished on time, with no delays on their part, and they showed an excellent understanding of our needs. Definitely recommended, especially if you've never hired anyone before and need someone trustworthy for a good job!

Kitchen design and installation from local specialists
What does kitchen design involve?
Good kitchen design is a lot more than choosing the worktops you like and ordering them in the right size. A kitchen specialist who plans and designs kitchens will take a lot of things into account to make sure the kitchen that gets installed is fit for purpose and looks great.
Some of these things are:
- The distance between work areas.
- Worktop materials and whether they can withstand spillages and heat.
- How easy the kitchen is to clean.
- The positioning of different work areas (e.g. is the sink too far from the hob).
- Storage options.
- The positioning of windows and lights – to help create a clean, bright environment to cook and prepare food in safely.
- The location of plumbing and electrical fixtures.
They’ll also consider who the kitchen is being designed for to make sure it meets that person’s tastes and needs. That can mean accommodating disabilities or recognising that a left-handed person might prefer a dishwasher to be to the left of the sink rather than to the right. At the very least, it’ll mean taking that person’s height into account to make sure they don’t need to tip-toe or bend down too far to access cupboards.
A good kitchen designer will draw up plans for the kitchen to help you visualise how the new room will look and make sure the room meets current building regulations. They can also remove an old kitchen before a new one is fitted.
Cost of kitchen design work
The cost of kitchen design work can vary widely depending on how you choose to approach your project. Many independent kitchen designers charge a flat fee for creating a bespoke layout, which usually ranges from £300 to £1,500for the planning and 3D visual design phase alone. On very large or luxury projects, a specialist designer might instead charge a percentage fee, typically around 8% of the overall project cost.
However, if you buy your cabinets and appliances through an all-inclusive high street kitchen showroom or a national brand, the 3D design work is frequently offered as a "free" service, as the company rolls that cost into the final supply and fit price tag of the kitchen itself.
When planning your total renovation budget, it helps to know that the overall cost of a new kitchen—including design, materials, and professional installation—typically falls into three main brackets:
- Budget or cosmetic refresh: £6,000 to £12,000 for off-the-shelf flat-pack units, laminate worktops, and keeping your existing layout.
- Mid-range renovation: £12,000 to £25,000 for durable, semi-bespoke cabinetry, premium surfaces like quartz or granite, and professional tradespeople handling minor structural or plumbing changes.
- High-end or fully bespoke: £25,000 to £60,000+ for handmade, custom joinery, luxury smart appliances, and complex spatial alterations.
As a general rule of thumb, you should expect to allocate roughly 40% of your total budget to cabinetry and worktops, 20% to new appliances, and 20% to professional installation labour, leaving the remaining 20% for flooring, decoration, and a vital emergency contingency buffer.
The qualifications your tradesperson needs
There’s no one recognised qualification for kitchen specialists but most of them have taken a general interior design course with City & Guilds or a similar body before learning the trade on the job. They might start out as interior designers but they could also begin their careers as carpenters or cabinet makers before deciding to specialise in kitchen design.
As well as kitchen design principles, they’ll have a good knowledge of current building regulations and may have connections with other tradespeople like plumbers, electricians, tilers and carpenters who they can call on to help bring a new kitchen space to life. If a gas cooker is on the wish list, only a tradesperson with a valid Gas Safe qualification can fit it. A similar thing goes for electrics. They’ll need to be fitted by a tradesperson with a Part P qualification. They might have both of these qualifications themselves but it’s more likely that they’ll bring in a Gas Safe registered plumber or Part P qualified electrician to carry out the work.
What is a Gas Safe accreditation?
A tradesperson is Gas Safe when they’re on the gas registration body, Gas Safe Register. The register is an official list of gas engineers who are qualified to work safely on gas appliances like boilers and cookers. All qualified engineers carry ID cards with an identification number which you should check on the main Gas Safe Register website, along with their company name, before allowing them to work on gas in your home.
What are the building regulation and Part P requirements for a new kitchen?
While a basic like-for-like kitchen refit doesn't require official approval, any new drainage or electrical installations must comply with UK Building Regulations. Specifically, electrical work should be handled by a Part P certified tradesperson who can self-certify that the job safely protects your home from fire and electric shocks. Furthermore, if you are relocating your kitchen into a brand-new room, you will need formal building regulations approval to ensure the space meets strict ventilation, drainage, structural stability, and fire safety standards.
For guidance around the latest building regulations, visit the Planning Portal
Do I need planning permission or insurance for kitchen design work?
You generally do not need planning permission to install a new kitchen unless the work is part of a larger house extension or your property is a listed building, in which case you must consult your Local Planning Authority first. Additionally, while holding public liability insurance isn’t a legal requirement for kitchen designers, it is highly recommended that your chosen specialist has it to protect both parties against any accidental property damage or personal injury claims during the project.
What questions should I ask a kitchen specialist before hiring them?
Before making a hire, ask the specialist how long they have been trading, if they can show you a gallery of previous designs, and whether they will be fitting the kitchen themselves or subcontracting the work. You should also clarify how long your kitchen will be unusable, what their guarantee covers, and verify that they hold valid public liability insurance. Finally, always confirm if they use certified tradespeople, specifically asking for a Gas Safe registered engineer for gas appliances and a Part P qualified electrician for the wiring.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS I can't recommend Tom. Previously TH&Jones Ltd he has changed the company name. He has left us with an extension that doesn't meet building regulations and needs to be taken down. Our house unsalable. I have an independent report to support it. Insufficient foundation, no damp course, insufficient insulation, incorrect installation of roof. He said he would rectify if we paid for 'things unquoted' but failed to show exactly what. We haven't heard from him in months. Stay away!!

I was apprehensive appointing someone through a website, but so glad I did Carl was great, from a very informative initial meeting and then estimate all the way through to completion of 1 ensuite, 1 small family bathroom and 1 small downstairs toilet. He was full of useful ideas which helped the project go smoothly. Due to the nature of this project, flexibility was key and he excelled in this regards.

Anton did a great emergency call out job on some pipe work. I called him on Monday late afternoon, and he was able to come and see the work that needed to be done within the hour, he was then able to start work the following day, working around the roofers we had on site too. As I wasnt onsite when he did the inspection he sent me a video of the work that he was going to do, which was great! I would definitely recommend him, and will be getting a quote for some other jobs that need doing. Thanks Anton
