In the process of kitchen renovation, legislation provides for many features that will be discussed in the article.

What is prohibited to do with the kitchen

According to technical building standards and legislation, it is prohibited to perform the following in a kitchen with a gas stove:

• dismantling or reconstruction of ventilation openings;
• moving the slab from its location to a distance of more than 1 meter;
• connection between kitchen and room. In the event of a gas leak, people should stay as far as possible from the source;
• installation of gas pipes in the walls. Such redevelopment should not be allowed in the apartment, because in case of unforeseen circumstances it will be much more difficult to detect a gas leak;
• repair of a sanitary facility without permission from special services.

Stage No. 7 - Contact the BTI to enter the combined room and kitchen into the technical records

Submit to the BTI: passport; your copy of the previously signed act on completed redevelopment (stage No. 6); if you own an apartment, then you need a paper extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate about the property or a registration certificate. If the apartment is municipal, then a social tenancy agreement/order.

When submitting documents, inform the BTI employee that the kitchen and room were combined, so you need to call a technician to make these changes to the technical accounting. The cost of the service varies everywhere, from about 2000 rubles.

On the appointed day, the technician will inspect and measure the apartment. After about 10 days, you need to pick up a new technical passport from the BTI. The apartment plan in the technical passport will now correspond to the current layout with a combined room and kitchen.

How to legalize redevelopment

Remodeling a kitchen with a gas stove is a very complex technical and construction task.

Depending on the type of repair and reconstruction, you need to order a plan or just make a sketch. The project is ordered from architects in the design bureau. The redevelopment customer meets with the architects and describes the renovation plans. Based on this and the technical documentation available to the architects, a project is drawn up according to the standard, taking into account the wishes of the customers.

For some types of work, the owner draws a sketch of the changes he wants to make in the apartment.

After drawing up a project or sketch, the apartment owner contacts the BTI, since often in order to approve a permit for redevelopment it is necessary to submit a technical passport to the Housing Inspectorate. This inspection is the last resort that the customer contacts before the start of repair work.

Replacing a gas stove with an electric one

If an apartment owner wants to remodel his home by replacing a standard gas stove with an electric one, he should contact:

• housing inspection;
• management company;
• gas service;
• electricity generating company.

First, employees of the housing inspection and management company study the technical feasibility of such changes.

Please note that it is impossible to carry out this redevelopment with your own hands.

If there is approval, gas service employees go to the work site and dismantle the gas stove, and also seal all possible channels for gas entering the apartment.

The kitchen is a room where a lot of food is often prepared.

Therefore, representatives of the management company will offer the owner the following choice:

• install a two-burner electric stove;
• agree on technical conditions with power engineers and change the line to a more powerful one.

Combining a kitchen with a living room in a panel house

In a panel high-rise building, combining a kitchen with a room, if the stove is gas, is, in most cases, allowed. The exception is houses designed by MNIITEP and put into operation after 2007.

Combination without changing the gas stove

If the redevelopment of an apartment requires the presence of a gas stove and equipment, then in no case should free access to the gas riser and pipes be blocked. It is strictly forbidden to install pipelines into the wall. All work must be carried out by specialists from the gas industry.

To combine living and kitchen space without replacing the gas stove, the project will need to indicate the presence of sliding or swing doors. An accordion door can also be installed, but in this case it is not always possible to obtain permission to destroy the wall. This is due to the fact that the combined space must be separated from the rest of the apartment by a tightly closing door.

There are doors consisting of several sections, which in a sense can be classified as “accordions”. Their design allows the opening to be tightly closed, which will be the basis for obtaining permission to remove the wall.

Redevelopment in Khrushchev

In the Khrushchev redevelopment project, it is necessary to provide for the presence of a living room with an area of ​​at least 9 square meters. The remaining requirements correspond to those given above.

Due to the fact that in such apartments the kitchens are very small, creating a single space with the living room will make the housing brighter and more spacious. The combined rooms can be separated from each other using different finishes or a bar counter.

What documents are needed

Regulatory legal acts regulate the list of documents that are necessary for approval of redevelopment. These include:

• applicant's passport;
• certificate from the passport office;
• documents from the management organization;
• documents on ownership or a social rental agreement;
• technical passport for the apartment;
• technical report from the archive of architectural projects;
• redevelopment project.

What if you don’t tear down the partition?

Not everyone will like the option of combining rooms. Proponents of isolated kitchens have their own arguments. At least two of them are quite reasonable:

• smells of food in the living room. No matter how powerful the hood is, over time, odors permeate the objects in the living room (especially textiles);
• open space is not always a plus. For example, a discrepancy in biological rhythms among family members, when one wants to stay up late, while the other rests. In this case, an isolated kitchen in a one-room apartment would solve the problem: owls and larks will not interfere with each other.

By the way, you can make a legal redevelopment by leaving the kitchen isolated, but at the same time making the corridor and the entrance to it more convenient. The picture below is just an example of such a reorganization.

Can it be combined with another room?

Modern trends in the architectural design of apartments and the wishes of customers basically coincide.

Many people want to expand the kitchen of their apartment at the expense of other rooms. Let's consider several options for expanding the kitchen from a safety point of view.

With room

The kitchen is a gasified room, and the room is a living room.

Nowadays there are a lot of apartments where the kitchen and the room are connected. It is important to understand that if you dismantle the wall between these two rooms yourself without approval, then penalties may be applied to the violator as a result.

According to the norms of clause 11.18 of Appendix 1 of Moscow Government Decree No. 508 of 02/08/2005, carrying out this kind of redevelopment is prohibited.

By the way, why do they do this? Let's say there is one room in an apartment. She is often small. According to the owners, the combined room becomes the center of life in the home. In one corner there is a stove and a table for cooking, and in the other there is a soft corner and another table.

Let us note once again: the rules for a one-room apartment directly prohibit doing this.

With a corridor

The connection between the kitchen and the corridor is extremely unlikely, because in this case the living quarters of the neighbors below may be under the slab.

The project will be approved only if under the location of the kitchen appliances there is:

• neighbors corridor;
• built-in wardrobe;
• pantry.

With bath or toilet

The legitimacy of such a connection is controversial.

It seems that the law does not prohibit such reconstruction, but the lack of isolation of the bathroom from other premises will be considered a deterioration in the living conditions of citizens, therefore the Housing Inspectorate is unlikely to approve such a project.

To successfully implement your plan, you must:

• notarized confirmation of the owners’ consent to the deterioration of their living conditions;
• detailed development of a floor plan with a specific indication of the location of the elements;
• conduct an engineering inspection of the apartment.

With a balcony or loggia

Combination with a balcony is possible, but it is worth remembering the following points:

• dismantling of load-bearing walls is prohibited;
• radiators cannot be located on the balcony.

The main goal that will be achieved after such a renovation is to significantly freshen the air in the kitchen.

The connection of the kitchen and the loggia is rarely carried out, because in this option it is difficult to obtain approval.

The customer will have to provide an additional package of documents:

• a copy of the personal account for the apartment;
• plan with explanation;
• extract from the house register.

Moving a gas stove in the kitchen

Do you know if a gas stove can be moved within the kitchen? Then you should carefully read the rules for operating residential premises. Thus, in accordance with Decree of the State Construction Committee of the Russian Federation No. 170 dated September 27, 2003 “On approval of the Rules and Standards for the Technical Operation of Housing Funds,” moving a gas stove within the kitchen, if the length of the gas hose allows, is not the installation of a gas system, and accordingly is not prohibited.

Therefore, the gas stove can be moved independently, as far as the length of the hose connecting the stove with stationary communications allows. In this case, the hose itself cannot be pulled - it must hang freely. Such an operation will not be a redevelopment and therefore does not require approvals.

If it is planned to move the slab, which will result in interference with the gas supply system, then this operation will already be considered a redevelopment and will require the creation of a detailed diagram and coordination with government agencies.

The length of the hose for a gas stove can be no more than 4 meters. This length allows, if necessary, to move the gas stove independently during renovation work or when creating a designer style in the kitchen. Experts do not recommend using metal hoses, as the internal rubber layer wears out quickly and leaks may occur.

Before planning to move the slab, you need to know what is prohibited during redevelopment.

What is prohibited from changing during redevelopment?

In accordance with the requirements of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, when making changes inside a residential premises, it is prohibited:

• worsen living conditions;
• change or eliminate the ventilation system;
• combine a kitchen with a gas stove with a living space;
• combine the kitchen with the balcony;
• cause damage to the internal structure of the apartment.

Thus, it will be possible to coordinate the movement of a gas stove if officials do not see any of the above points in the provided project.

Requirements for moving a gas stove

The main condition for redevelopment is compliance with all established standards.

They are formulated (detailed) in the following legal acts:

• In the requirements for fire safety of buildings (Federal Law “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements” dated July 22, 2008 N 123-FZ).
• In the rules for carrying out work in gas distribution systems (“SP 62.13330.2011*. Code of rules. Gas distribution systems. Updated version of SNiP 42-01-2002″ (approved by Order of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia dated December 27, 2010 N 780).
• In the technical regulations on the safety of buildings and structures (Federal Law “Technical Regulations on the Safety of Buildings and Structures” dated December 30, 2009 N 384-FZ).
• In sanitary and hygienic requirements SanPiN 2.2.1 2.1.1.1278-03.

These documents are approved at the state level and are mandatory for use.

When designing the design of a future kitchen, you should initially prepare communications for installing a gas stove. This must be stipulated in the contract with the developer company, or done with the help of specialists before the delivery of the house.

Among the requirements are the following:

• connecting the gas stove to the gas supply system must be made with one solid hose; extensions or connections with several hoses are strictly prohibited;
• the hose must not cross the gas pipe;
• It is prohibited to place a gas stove outside the kitchen, including moving and installing a gas stove in another room, in the hallway and in the basement;
• there must be free access to gas pipes, all sections of the pipeline must be accessible for visual inspection;
• It is necessary to have a door to the kitchen;
• It is necessary to have a window with a window;
• the gas tap must be located next to the gas stove, but outside the heating zone; it is prohibited to place it above the stove or outside the kitchen;
• a gas tap must be provided;
• the gas pipeline should not cross the electrical cable; there should be a distance of at least 10 cm between them;
• the stove cannot be located near a window; installation in kitchens or rooms without natural light is prohibited;
• the minimum distance from the window or door should exceed 50 cm;
• installing a gas stove next to a refrigerator or any other refrigeration equipment is prohibited (we also recommend that you read the information about placing a refrigerator near a gas pipe);
• each gas appliance requires a separate gas tap, to which the gas pipe must be connected without threaded connections;
• horizontal sections of the gas pipe must be at a height of more than 50 cm from the floor.

Punctual compliance with these requirements primarily ensures the safe operation of gas equipment. Therefore, it is important to comply with them.

The gas pipe must always be accessible for inspection. Walling it up or covering it with a box is prohibited. It is possible to hide it inside the furniture, but there should be easy access to it

It is worth remembering that the gas stove will be the main work surface in the kitchen. Therefore, when remodeling, you should make sure that the approach to it is convenient, and further use is comfortable and safe.

Why you can’t move your kitchen into a room without windows

Moving the kitchen into a room without windows is only possible if it receives lighting from other rooms through large glass partitions.

Other options are prohibited.

Moving a gasified kitchen to a non-residential premises

The layout of apartments in very old houses (1920-1940) may imply the presence of auxiliary premises: a pantry, a built-in closet, etc. The modern owner is ready to move the kitchen into this not entirely necessary room. But here there are certain regulatory requirements:

• The room should not be less than 5 square meters. m;
• This room must have a window.

And at the second point, the owner is disappointed, because the auxiliary, utility rooms are not equipped with a window opening.

The same story happens if the owner of an apartment in a late-built building wants to move the kitchen into the hallway. Firstly, the kitchen will now open directly into the living room, which is prohibited in the case of a gasified kitchen. Secondly, there is no window.

Registration cost

The price of the service depends on the volume of planned work.

Rules for remodeling kitchens with gas stoves

Redevelopment of a gasified apartment is a complex task, for which the owner will need professional help from qualified designers.
The gas supply system, despite all its advantages, is extremely dangerous. Users of gas systems are not protected from emergency situations, and this must be taken into account when making changes to the layout of the facility. Due to the high complexity and responsibility, work on redevelopment of gasified apartments must be carried out according to a project developed by specialists with SRO approvals and agreed upon with all interested organizations. Violation of these rules may lead to the recognition of the completed overhaul as illegal.

Where to start renovating a kitchen? 8 Important Before Steps

Step 1: The main thing in the kitchen is the set

If you have already chosen the company from which you will order its production, then you know the time frame within which the furniture must be delivered to you for assembly. By this time you should have the space fully prepared for installation.

Consider this first. The set is the basis of the kitchen.

If you are planning to install a set back to back or the room has a complex configuration, be sure to call a measurer.

Step 2: Order the headset

After you have a plan with all the dimensions in your hands, and you already have an idea of ​​what your furniture should look like, come to the salon so that the consultant will create for you a more detailed sketch, which will indicate all the sizes of the cabinets, mechanisms, and supply locations. sewers, sockets, switches, lighting cables, etc.

Ideally, you need to contact the designer directly.

Step 3: Selecting household appliances

There is no question here that you need to immediately buy household appliances. At this stage, it is important to simply understand what will be installed in order to know what conditions must be provided in order to connect this or that electrical device. For example, some hobs operate from ordinary sockets, while others operate from three-phase sockets.

Step 4: Make sockets in locations that match your kitchen plan

Sockets, switches, wiring - this is where all repair tips usually begin. Think about where small and large appliances will be installed in order to provide the required number of sockets and wires for lighting and switches. Everything should already be done before the robots begin installing the headset.

The optimal arrangement of sockets is several near the work area, several near the dining area.

Step 5: Level the surface of the walls

As soon as you deal with the electrics, call painters and plasterers. It is important that the angle of the walls is ideal, since the kitchen furniture will be exactly at a right angle, it is necessary that the installation proceeds without problems, and that the modules fit neatly.

The slightest deviation from normal values ​​can ruin even the highest quality kitchen.

Step 6: Lay the floor and protect it

At this stage, you need to select the material with which the floor will be decorated. But before laying it, you need to level the base itself. In order not to damage the finished floor covering during the installation of the headset, it is important to protect it. This can be done using film or cheap linoleum, which was purchased specifically for these purposes.

Some important tips for arranging a gasified kitchen

In addition to the points listed above, there are also important rules that must or are recommended to be followed when arranging:

• Do not block the ventilation duct with the hood pipe. This threatens the accumulation of gas in dangerous volumes, because air, when the channel is blocked, can only escape if the hood is running;

• replace old gas equipment with new ones. Modern stoves and gas boilers are equipped with additional leak protection systems, which is important primarily for your safety;

• do not place the sink and stove close to each other;

• Do not carry gas communications yourself. This should only be done by a professional gas service employee.
