Kitchen Fitters in Llanvihangel Pontymoel

Yes — if your kitchen has a gas hob, gas oven, or gas-fed range, any connection, disconnection, or repositioning of the gas supply must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is a legal requirement, not optional. Always ask to see Gas Safe registration before any gas work begins.

Yes. Part P of the Building Regulations covers electrical installations in dwellings, including kitchens. New circuits — such as additional sockets, lighting circuits, or appliance supplies — must be either installed by a registered competent person who self-certifies, or notified to and inspected by Building Control. Failure to comply can cause problems when selling the property.

Yes. Part F of the Building Regulations requires adequate ventilation in kitchens. Mechanical extraction (a cooker hood or extraction fan) must achieve a minimum extract rate, and must be ducted to the outside rather than recirculated where possible. This is particularly important in open-plan kitchens where cooking odours and moisture would otherwise spread through the living space.

Uninspected or unsigned work can cause difficulties when you come to sell your property. A buyer's solicitor will enquire about Building Regulations compliance, and absence of certificates for notifiable work may delay or complicate a sale. It is always worth ensuring compliance is properly documented at the time of installation.
