Start Your Kitchen ProjectKitchen Design & Space Planning
Good kitchen design starts with how the space will actually be used. Before any units are ordered or walls are touched, we help you think through the layout, workflow and storage so that your fitted kitchen works as well in practice as it looks on paper.
Common layouts we work with regularly across Wellingborough homes include:
Galley
Efficient use of a narrow space. Two parallel runs of units with a clear working corridor between them.
L-Shape
A versatile layout that suits most kitchen sizes. Units along two walls create a natural workflow triangle.
U-Shape
Maximum worktop and storage in a three-sided configuration. Works best in rooms with sufficient floor space.
Island
A freestanding central unit that adds prep space, seating or additional storage in open-plan kitchens.
Beyond the basic layout, effective planning means considering the following before installation begins:
- Position of sink relative to existing waste and water supply
- Cooker and hob placement in relation to ventilation pathways
- Fridge and freezer positioning away from heat sources
- Sufficient worktop run for food preparation
- Corner unit solutions — pull-outs, carousels or deep shelving
- Tall storage for pantry items, brooms and appliances
- Drawer and soft-close door specifications
- Lighting zones — task, ambient and accent
- Convenient access points for small appliances

See Our Full ProcessKitchen Plumbing Requirements
Every kitchen installation involves plumbing work at some level. Even straightforward sink replacements require understanding how water supply and waste connect within your kitchen. For more significant projects, pipework may need to be rerouted, extended or upgraded.
Normz Plumbing includes plumbing co-ordination as part of our kitchen installation service. For projects that require a plumber in Wellingborough, we can handle this directly. Our plumbing and heating services are available as part of a combined installation.
Common kitchen plumbing considerations include sink position relative to existing waste outlets, whether your current stopcock is accessible and in working order, any requirement to move or add cold water supply points, and boiler or hot water connections for certain appliances.
Sink Installation
Fitting your new sink includes seating it correctly into the worktop, connecting to the supply valves, connecting waste to the existing drain outlet and checking for any potential trap issues.
Dishwasher & Washing Machine Plumbing
Built-in dishwashers and washing machines require hot and/or cold supply connections and a waste connection routed to your standpipe or under-sink waste.
Pipework Rerouting
If your new kitchen layout moves the sink position or places appliances in different locations, existing pipework may need extending or rerouting to serve the new positions.
Boiling Water Taps
Instant hot water taps require a separate cold water supply connection and an electrical supply for the under-sink tank unit. We co-ordinate both as part of installation.
Waste and Drainage
Adequate drainage is critical. We check existing waste pipe capacity and routing before installation and identify any issues before they affect your finished kitchen.
Electrical Considerations in Kitchen Installation
Socket Positioning
We reposition sockets where needed to suit your new kitchen layout and provide convenient access for everyday appliances.
Appliance Circuits
Electric ovens, induction hobs and other high-load appliances may require dedicated circuits, which are planned before installation begins.
Under-Cabinet Lighting
LED under-cabinet lighting provides practical task lighting and is easiest to install during a full kitchen renovation.
Extractor Fan Installation
We prepare the electrical supply for cooker hoods and extractor fans, along with any ducting requirements where needed.
Ceiling Lighting
Whether you're fitting LED downlights or island pendant lighting, positions are planned before installation begins.
Safe Installation
Where electrical routing forms part of your kitchen installation, we ensure all cables and connections are installed cleanly, securely, and neatly integrated into your new layout.
Cabinet & Worktop Installation
Getting cabinets perfectly level, plumb and square is the foundation of a quality kitchen installation. Walls in older Wellingborough and Northamptonshire properties are rarely perfectly straight, which means experienced fitting — not just following the unit manufacturer's instructions — is what makes the difference between a kitchen that looks professional and one that doesn't.
We use packing, scribing and careful templating to ensure every unit sits correctly regardless of what the walls are doing behind them. Soft-close mechanisms, drawer runners and hinge adjustments are all checked and set before we move to the next phase.
Laminate
Practical, durable and cost-effective. Wide range of finishes including wood and stone effects.
Solid Wood
Classic, warm and repairable. Requires treatment and some ongoing maintenance.
Quartz
Low maintenance and highly durable. Template-cut to fit before delivery.
Granite
A natural stone option with unique patterning. Supplied and fitted by specialist stone cutters.

Small Kitchen Solutions
Many homes in Wellingborough and across Northamptonshire have kitchens that feel too small or badly organised for how they're actually used. A thoughtful kitchen installation can transform even a compact room into a space that's genuinely practical and enjoyable to work in.
The key is intelligent storage planning, a layout that maximises every available run of wall, and unit choices that serve the space rather than overwhelm it. Small kitchens don't need to feel cramped — they need to be well planned and expertly fitted.
We've installed fitted kitchens in a wide range of property types across the area, from Victorian terraces with narrow galley kitchens to modern apartments with open-plan kitchen-diners. Each one requires a different approach to get the most from what's available.
Use full-height units
Floor-to-ceiling cabinets maximise vertical storage and remove the gap above wall units where dust collects and space is wasted.
Integrated appliances
Hiding the fridge, dishwasher and bins behind cabinet doors keeps the visual footprint of the kitchen clean and makes the room feel larger.
Pull-out drawers over deep shelves
Deep base unit shelves are difficult to access. Pull-out drawers or carousels make full use of the depth of every unit.
Light colour choices
Light fronts, reflective worktops and well-placed under-cabinet lighting all make a small kitchen feel more open and spacious.
Consistent finishes
Limiting variation in cabinet colour, worktop material and floor finish keeps a compact kitchen looking cohesive rather than cluttered.
Kitchen Styles & Finishes We Install
Every homeowner has a different vision for their new kitchen. We install a wide range of kitchen styles, finishes and worktop options, helping you create a space that's practical, durable and designed to suit your home.
Shaker Kitchens
Timeless and versatile, shaker kitchens suit both traditional and contemporary homes. Available in a wide choice of colours with classic framed cabinet doors.
Handleless Kitchens
Clean lines and a minimalist appearance make handleless kitchens a popular choice for modern homes, creating a sleek and uncluttered finish.
Matt & Gloss Finishes
Whether you prefer a soft matt finish or a reflective gloss surface, we install kitchens in a variety of colours and finishes to suit your style.
Laminate, Quartz & Stone
From affordable laminate to premium quartz and stone worktops, we install a range of surfaces that combine durability with everyday practicality.
Tiled & Glass Finishes
Complete your kitchen with ceramic tiling, porcelain tiles or sleek glass splashbacks, professionally fitted to complement your chosen design.
Kitchen Flooring Options
We install kitchen flooring including luxury vinyl tile (LVT), ceramic tiles and engineered wood to create a durable finish that ties the whole room together.
Complete Home Improvement Support
Many kitchen installations happen as part of a wider home improvement project. If you're also updating a bathroom, adding a downstairs WC, or undertaking a broader renovation, Normz Plumbing can co-ordinate the full scope of work rather than having you manage multiple trades separately.
Our full home refurbishment service covers kitchen installation, bathroom fitting, plumbing, heating and decoration — managed as one project under one team. This is particularly useful if you're buying a property in Wellingborough that needs updating throughout, or if you're ready to tackle multiple rooms at once.
We also install bathrooms in Wellingborough and across the wider Northamptonshire area, including Northampton, Kettering and Rushden.
Full Home RefurbishmentKitchen Fitters Based in Northamptonshire
Normz Plumbing are based in Northamptonshire and have been installing kitchens and bathrooms across the county for many years. When you choose a local kitchen fitter in Wellingborough, you benefit from knowledge of local property types, local suppliers and the practical realities of working in homes across this part of the East Midlands.
We understand that Wellingborough's housing stock spans Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council housing, and modern new builds — each with its own quirks when it comes to plumbing positions, wall types, floor levels and structural considerations. Our experience working in all of these property types means we're rarely caught off guard.
Being local also means we can respond quickly to enquiries, visit for a consultation without a long wait, and be on site promptly when your project is ready to begin. We're not a national kitchen company managing installations at arm's length — we're the people who will actually be in your kitchen, doing the work.
We also carry out kitchen installations in Kettering, Northampton, Rushden, Corby and throughout Northamptonshire. Our kitchen renovation work in Northampton is carried out to the same standard as everything we do locally.
Why local matters
- We know the property types in the area
- Quick response and site visits
- Local supplier relationships
- No long-distance management fees
- Direct communication with your fitter
- Available for post-installation support
- Familiar with local residential layouts
- Practical understanding of area housing quirks

Kitchen Installation Costs
Kitchen installation costs vary significantly depending on the size of the kitchen, the materials chosen, the extent of the work and any structural or layout alterations required. It's not possible to quote a meaningful price without understanding your specific project — which is why we always visit before providing a detailed estimate.
What we can say is that the quality of the installation itself has a long-term impact on value. Poorly fitted kitchens need correcting sooner, and correcting poor workmanship after the event is always more expensive than having it done properly in the first place.
We offer finance options that allow you to spread the cost of your kitchen installation, making it easier to invest in the quality of materials and fitting that the project deserves. Speak to us about how this might work for your project when you book your consultation.
Get a QuoteKitchen Size
More units, longer worktop runs and more wall space for tiling all increase the time and materials required.
Materials Chosen
Quartz worktops, solid wood doors and tiled splashbacks cost more than laminate alternatives. Both can produce excellent results — at different price points.
Plumbing & Electrical Work
If the new kitchen layout moves the sink position or requires extending existing feeds, additional physical installation time is required and this is reflected in the overall cost.
Structural Changes
Removing a non-load-bearing partition wall to create open-plan space, changing room dimensions, or altering window openings are separate physical modifications that add to the project scope.
Appliances Supplied
Whether you supply your own appliances or want us to source them affects the overall cost. We can advise on suitable appliances for your project if required.
