We work closely with our Clients to survey & design Kitchens across large scale Kitchen improvement & Void programmes throughout the UK. With WHQS Ltd, housing improvements aren’t just about meeting standards—they’re about creating homes people love.

WHQS provide a variety of services, individually tailored to suit our Clients, Contractors and Tenants

 Our Services:

• On-site kitchen surveys for occupied properties
• Tailored kitchen design and planning
• Collaboration with contractors and manufacturers to ensure accurate specifications
• Coordination of kitchen improvement programmes for social housing providers
• Compliance support with housing standards such as the Welsh Housing Quality Standard (WHQS)
• Project management support for kitchen refurbishment initiatives
• Data reporting and design documentation for client and contractor use

Our Process

Our Surveyors are assigned by WHQS to the appointed Kitchen Manufacturer, Client and Contractor, with the aim of surveying & designing approximately 8 kitchens per day. By visiting each property and speaking with each Tenant, we can ascertain what appliances they have, where their services are, and how they require their new kitchen to be designed.
