Kitchen renovation and installation management
Already have a kitchen design? We quote, prepare and manage the work needed to install it properly.
We are not a kitchen showroom and we do not design kitchens from scratch. We work with your kitchen designer, supplier plans or chosen products, then bring together the right trades to carry out the renovation properly — rip-out, preparation, plumbing, electrics, gas, tiling, flooring, decorating and installation.
You bring the design. We deliver the renovation.
Most kitchen companies are excellent at designing and supplying kitchens. The difficult part for many homeowners is what happens around the kitchen: removing the old room, checking the services, preparing walls and floors, moving pipework, coordinating electrics, arranging gas work, tiling, decorating and making sure the space is actually ready for installation.
That is where we come in. We can work from your kitchen supplier’s plan, your designer’s drawings or the products you have already chosen, then quote for the real work needed to turn that design into a finished room.
The aim is a clear route from design to completion, with the right trades involved at the right time and one company helping keep the project joined up.
The finished kitchen depends on the preparation behind it: services, walls, floors, ventilation, tiling, appliances and a clean installation sequence.
Who we work with
You may already have a design from a supplier, a showroom, an interior designer or an architect. We can help turn that plan into a realistic scope of works and quote for the building, installation and finishing around it.
Plans from Howdens, Wren, Magnet, IKEA, Benchmarx or independent suppliers can be used as the starting point.
We can work from an interior designer’s drawings, layout, specification or design direction.
If you already know the kitchen you want, we can help quote for the practical work around the installation.
Where a kitchen sits within a wider refurbishment, we can coordinate the bathroom and kitchen elements together.
What the quote can cover
A kitchen renovation often touches nearly every trade. We can price and manage the practical work needed before, during and after the kitchen is installed.
Old kitchen removal, strip-out, waste handling, making safe, checking walls, floors and the condition behind the existing units.
Sink, dishwasher, washing machine, waste routes, water supplies, isolation valves and pipework alterations for the new layout.
Sockets, appliance feeds, lighting, extractor points, under-cabinet lighting and electrical alterations carried out by suitable trades.
Gas hob, cooker or pipework changes can be handled through Gas Safe registered engineers where required.
Wall tiling, splashbacks, trims, grout, silicone and the finishing details that make the kitchen feel complete.
Floor preparation, wall repairs, plastering, making good, levelling, boxing and decorating connected to the renovation.
Unit fitting, panels, plinths, end panels, appliance spaces, worktop coordination and finishing around the supplied kitchen.
Extractor routes, cooker hood planning, ducting options and ventilation considerations for the finished kitchen.
A written quotation that explains what is included, what is excluded and what needs to happen before the work starts.
Kitchen and bathroom together
If you are renovating a kitchen and bathroom at the same time, using one company to manage both can make a major difference. The same trades are often involved, the same property services may need checking, and the sequence of work needs to be planned carefully to reduce delays and disruption.
Instead of coordinating separate kitchen fitters, bathroom installers, plumbers, electricians, tilers, gas engineers and decorators, you get one joined-up route. That means clearer communication, better scheduling and fewer gaps between trades.
One schedule
Kitchen and bathroom works can be planned together instead of fighting each other for time and trades.
Shared trades
Plumbing, electrics, tiling, plastering and decorating can often be coordinated more efficiently.
Less disruption
Better planning can reduce repeated visits, duplicated preparation and stop-start progress.
Clear communication
One point of contact keeps decisions, updates and questions easier to manage.
Value and saleability
Kitchens are one of the main rooms buyers notice. A well-planned renovation can improve everyday use, make the property feel more complete and help saleability when the work is carried out to a good standard.
5–6%
Some UK kitchen and property sources quote around 5–6% as a guide for the potential added value of a recently renovated kitchen.
8%
Wren reports that a YouGov-backed survey of property experts found a new kitchen could increase value by up to 8%.
+
Storage, layout, appliances, lighting and finish can all affect how attractive the kitchen feels to future buyers.
A kitchen can lose impact if the preparation is poor. Crooked walls, bad lighting, messy plumbing, rushed electrics, poor tiling or unfinished decorating can make even a good kitchen look average.
That is why we focus on the renovation around the kitchen as much as the units themselves. The finish, the sequence of trades and the hidden services all matter.
Storage
Buyers notice usable storage, clear worktop space and a layout that keeps the kitchen practical.
Appliances
Quality integrated appliances and sensible positions can make the kitchen feel more complete.
Lighting
Task lighting, under-cabinet lighting and ceiling lighting should be planned before the work starts.
Finish
Tiling, flooring, decoration, trims and making good can make or break the final result.
Proper trades for the right work
A like-for-like kitchen replacement may be straightforward, but many kitchen renovations involve electrical alterations, gas appliances, extractor routes, plumbing changes, drainage, structural changes or ventilation upgrades.
We plan the job around the real work required and bring in suitable trades where needed. Gas appliance work should be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and notifiable electrical work may need a competent person route or Building Control sign-off.
Sockets, lighting, appliances and certification routes need to be understood before work starts.
Gas hobs, cookers and pipework must be dealt with by the right qualified people.
Extractor and ducting routes should be considered before cabinets and finishes are locked in.
Where approval or certification is needed, the correct route should be planned early.
Our kitchen renovation process
The aim is to turn the design into a clear, buildable scope before anyone starts ripping out the old kitchen.
Send your supplier drawings, product list, designer plan, photos and any notes about what you want done.
We check the room, services, floor, walls, access, appliances, ventilation route and the work needed around the new kitchen.
We provide a quotation setting out the works, trades, inclusions, exclusions and what needs confirming before the project starts.
Rip-out, making safe, plumbing, electrics, gas arrangements, wall preparation and floor preparation happen before fitting.
Units, worktop coordination, appliances, tiling, flooring, decoration, second fix services and finishing details are coordinated properly.
The room is checked, final details are completed and the kitchen is handed over as a finished space.
Questions
No. We are not a kitchen design showroom. We work from your kitchen designer, supplier plan or chosen products, then quote for the renovation, preparation, installation and finishing work needed to deliver it properly.
Yes. We can work from plans supplied by kitchen companies, independent designers or architects. We may also speak with the supplier where clarification is needed.
Yes. Kitchen renovations often need plumbers, electricians, gas engineers, tilers, plasterers, flooring trades, decorators and fitters. We can coordinate the right trades around the scope of the job.
That can be a strong reason to use one company. The same trades are often involved, scheduling can be coordinated better, and communication is easier when the kitchen and bathroom are treated as one connected refurbishment.
Some like-for-like kitchen replacements may be straightforward, but approval, notification or certification may be needed where the work includes electrical alterations, gas work, drainage, ventilation, structural changes or layout changes. The route depends on the property and scope.
We can discuss the likely scope early, but a proper quote is usually clearer once there is a kitchen plan, appliance list and a site visit. The plan tells us what services, preparation and trades are needed.
