A kitchen refit is largely finishing work, but parts of it are notifiable. Moving the sink, altering the drainage, taking out a wall to open the room up or forming a new opening all pull building regulations into the job. We run the whole refit as one contract and make the building control application where one is needed.
For High Wycombe, on London-derived ranges a kitchen renovation typically costs £18,000 to £60,000 or more from design to fitting; Buckinghamshire work generally runs below that. GS Renovation Ltd, a building contractor based in Potters Bar, does the work in High Wycombe: we carry the strip-out, services and fit as one contract, with the electrics certified by a registered electrician.

Check whether the work needs building regulations approval before you start
Buckinghamshire Council provides an online checker that tells you whether your work needs building regulations approval, and whether you should make a full plans application, submit a building notice, or apply for a regularisation certificate.
A kitchen refit can sit on either side of that line depending on what moves. Units, worktops and finishes are one thing; drainage, structure and new openings are another. We settle the question at survey stage and price any application into the job, rather than raising it once the room is stripped.
Housing in High Wycombe
The Council Tax list puts High Wycombe at about 32,710 homes, 35% flats against 65% houses; 10% went up before 1919, 17% between the wars and 73% after 1945. 32% of homes here are semi-detached; the flank wall of a semi in High Wycombe gives a kitchen extract and a moved sink the shortest route outside.
New drainage or a new connection to a sewer goes in on a building notice
Buckinghamshire Council lists new drainage or connection to a sewer, a new bathroom, shower or toilet, and underpinning as work that can be applied for by building notice. Moving a sink or an appliance waste onto a new drainage run is the part of a kitchen job that route covers.
A building notice is the shorter application, without full drawings, and the site inspection still happens. We make the notice, keep the drainage open for the inspector, and backfill once it has been seen. The floor finish then goes back over work that has been signed off rather than over work that has not.

The GS Renovation Difference in High Wycombe
A kitchen puts several trades into one small room in a fixed order. We run the strip out, any structural work, the first fix, the plastering, the fitting and the finish under one contract, so there is no gap between trades for the programme to fall into. Where drainage or structure is involved, we make the building control application to Buckinghamshire Council and book the inspection before the floor is closed up. You deal with one point of contact throughout, and the certificate comes to you at the end. GS Renovation Ltd is fully insured, registered in England, company number 14611254, with free no obligation quotations.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen Renovation High Wycombe
What is the going rate for kitchen renovation around High Wycombe?
An average rate is where kitchen renovation quotations in High Wycombe go wrong; the market range is £18,000 to £60,000 or more (London-derived), but what decides the figure is the structure, access at HP11 and reinstatement, and the approvals (Part F extraction and Part P certification for the circuits), none of which appear in an average. GS Renovation itemises so the total can be traced to real work.
The kitchen sits in an extension a previous owner built with no certificate. Can that be put right?
Through an application for a regularisation certificate. Buckinghamshire Council states that where work has already been started or completed without approval, that is the route back. It is worth settling before the units are fitted, because anything that has to be opened up is opened up more cheaply then. We can expose the earlier work, put the evidence together and make the application on your behalf.
How do you compare kitchen quotations that are all set out differently?
Line by line, and Buckinghamshire Council advises obtaining at least 3 written quotations and checking that each one covers all the work. In a kitchen the gaps sit in the same places: making good after the old units come out, the drainage alteration, the electrical work, the plastering, the flooring and taking the waste away. Ours states what is included and what is not, free and without obligation.
The wall between the kitchen and the dining room is coming out too. Is that a second application?
It goes in as one. Buckinghamshire Council lists removing 1 or 2 internal load-bearing walls, and new drainage or connection to a sewer, as work that can be applied for by building notice. We make a single application covering the job as a whole and book the inspections around it, so the opening and the drainage are each seen at the right stage rather than after the floor goes down.
Can an extractor vent go through the front wall of a house in a conservation area?
Ask before you cut, because that is an external alteration in a designated area. Four conservation areas around the town carry a start date of 1986 on the national planning register: Terriers, Totteridge, Wycombe Abbey and Downley Common. Policy CP11 commits the council to use Article 4 directions where the character of a conservation area is at risk from permitted development. We check the designation and route the extract accordingly.
