Kitchen fitters in Chelmsford

Most kitchens we fit in Chelmsford and Great Baddow, Springfield and Broomfield involve more than units: a wall out, a steel in, services moved and the floor levelled. We do all of that ourselves, so the building work and the fit out are one job, with one price and one team in your house.

Planning rules in Chelmsford

Planning applications in Chelmsford go to Chelmsford City Council. The council has 26 conservation areas, nine of them in the city itself, including Moulsham Street and the West End.

Some jobs need a full application and some fall under permitted development. We tell you which applies before you pay for drawings, and build to your architect's and structural engineer's drawings.

Building control in Chelmsford

Building regulations are signed off separately from planning. Where your kitchen needs building regulations approval, we book the inspections with Chelmsford City Council or an approved inspector and see it through to the completion certificate.

Questions about kitchen renovations in Chelmsford

How do I get a quote?

Whichever suits you best: call us on 07792 625391, message us on WhatsApp, or fill in our short enquiry form. We will arrange a time to come and see the property, then put a written quote together.

Do you supply the kitchen as well as fit it?

We can work either way. Some clients supply their own kitchen and we install it, and others prefer us to handle the supply as part of the project. We will agree it in writing at the start.

Can you remove a wall to open up the kitchen?

Yes, that is a common part of the work. It is structural, so it needs an engineer's design, appropriate steelwork and building control involvement, all of which we handle.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Shaun and his team done for us! From the extension through to the internal refurbishments, everything has been completed to a really high standard with great attention to detail…

Casey Whitlock July 2026 Posted on Google

Shaun and his team have carried out a large extension for me at Chelmsford over the last 5 months. Was impressed at how quick his team completed the work. Skilled and experienced on groundworks, brickwork, structural steelwork, roofing and driveways. Has managed the project well and given us honest advice throughout. Very grateful to have found a building company we can trust, at a competitive price. Recommend 100%
