Kitchen fitting in Colchester
Most kitchens in this area fall into two camps: a straight replacement in a 1930s semi in Lexden or Prettygate where the walls are anything but square, or a knock-through kitchen-diner in a newer Stanway or Highwoods house. Both need the same thing — scribed fillers, a level worktop run and services planned before a single unit goes on the wall.
- Full kitchen installations — supply & fit or fit-only
- Howdens, Wren, Magnet, Benchmarx & independent units
- Laminate, solid wood, quartz & granite worktops (templated)
- Wall removal, RSJ steels & structural openings
- Integrated appliances, extractors & new ring mains
- Kitchen-diner knock-throughs & bi-fold openings
- Boiler relocation & new radiator circuits (Gas Safe)
- Plastering, flooring, tiling & decorating to finish
Bathroom installation in Colchester
The difference between a bathroom that lasts fifteen years and one that leaks in eighteen months is almost always what happens before the tiles go on: a properly tanked wall behind the shower, a boarded and bonded floor rather than chipboard, and a waste run with real fall on it. We don't tile over problems.

Kitchen & bathroom fitting in Colchester — your questions answered
How much do kitchen fitters in Colchester charge?+
Fit-only labour for a standard 10–12 unit kitchen in Colchester is typically £2,800–£4,500 depending on worktop type, whether appliances are being relocated and how much making-good the old kitchen leaves behind. Supply and fit — units, worktop, appliances, tiling, electrics and plumbing — usually lands between £9,000 and £18,000. We give a fixed written quote after a free measure-up, never a day rate.
How much does a bathroom installation cost in Colchester?+
A full bathroom refit — strip-out, first fix plumbing and electrics, floor and wall tiling, new suite, shower and extractor — starts around £6,500 for a standard 2m x 2m room. Walk-in wet rooms with a tanked, tray-less floor typically run £8,500–£12,000 because of the tanking, the fall in the floor and the drainage work.
Can you fit a kitchen I've already ordered from Howdens or Wren?+
Yes, and we do it every week. Howdens, Wren, Magnet, B&Q, Benchmarx or an independent supplier — bring us the plan and delivery date and we'll fit it. We'll also check the plan before delivery, because supplier designs regularly miss a filler panel, get a corner post wrong, or specify a worktop run that won't physically get through the door.
Do you handle the plumbing, gas and electrics too?+
Yes — it's all in-house. Our team includes Gas Safe registered and Part P qualified tradesmen, so boiler moves, new radiator circuits, consumer unit work, new ring mains and shower circuits are handled by us and certificated. You don't have to project-manage three separate trades.
How long will my kitchen be out of action?+
A straight swap-for-swap kitchen refit takes 2–3 weeks. Add a wall removal with an RSJ, re-plastering and a new floor and it's 4–6 weeks. We phase the work so the sink and one worktop run go back in as early as possible, and we set up a temporary kettle-and-microwave point on day one.
Do bathrooms need Building Regulations approval?+
A like-for-like bathroom refit doesn't, but new electrical circuits in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P and any new soil or waste run needs to comply with Part H. We self-certify the electrical work and issue the certificate on handover so it's clean for a future house sale.
Which areas around Colchester do you cover?+
CO1–CO7 — Colchester town centre, Lexden, Stanway, Mile End, Highwoods, Prettygate, Wivenhoe and Marks Tey — plus Tiptree, Dedham, West Mersea, Manningtree, Clacton, Witham, Kelvedon and Braintree.
