Kitchen island installation in Luton, Stopsley and Wigmore. Islands planned for space, power and plumbing, fixed down securely and finished to match the kitchen.
An island changes how a Luton kitchen works. It only helps if the room is big enough to walk round it with drawers and the dishwasher open. The planning comes first. We check clearances on every side. We decide whether the island needs sockets or a sink. Then we plan how the power or water reaches the middle of the floor. Moving an island often means lifting the floor to run cables or pipes. The same applies to adding one to an existing kitchen. It is done before the new floor goes down.
Many Luton kitchens are being opened up into the dining room, which is where an island often fits best. The cost depends on the size of the island, the worktop and any power or plumbing that needs to reach it. A photo of the room and a rough sketch with measurements is enough to price it.
Stools and seating are planned in from the start.
Roughly a metre of clear walkway all round is a good starting point. We measure your room before suggesting a size.
Often, with the floor lifted to reroute any power or plumbing. Photos of the room help us plan it.
Yes, if the waste can run to the drain with enough fall. That is checked at the survey.
Yes, with units back to back or with doors on the seating side.
Usually a couple of days, longer if power or water is run to it.
Yes, if extraction is planned. That can be a ceiling extractor above the island or a downdraft unit built into the worktop.
The size, the worktop and whether power or water has to reach it. An island with sockets only is simpler than one with a sink and a hob. The floor also matters if it has to be lifted.
01Space planned | Room left on every side to open doors, drawers and appliances and walk past. |
|---|---|
02Power and water | Sockets, a hob or a sink in the island, with cables and pipes run under the floor. |
03Fixed down | Islands anchored to the floor so they never move, even with a heavy worktop. |
04Seating overhang | Worktop overhangs supported properly so stools tuck in and the top stays level. |
05Worktop matched | The island top matched to the rest of the kitchen or chosen as a feature. |
06Floor planned | The island positioned before the new floor goes down where possible, so the floor runs round it. |
07What makes quoting easy | A photo of the room from the door and a sketch with the main measurements. Say where the sockets and the sink are now. That is enough to plan the island and price it. |
