Service Overview

Kitchen Renovation & Refurbishment — the honest overview.

What it is

Kitchen renovation is the full refit of your kitchen — usually including layout changes, new services, structural work like wall removal, and a full replacement of cabinets, worktops and appliances. It's the biggest single change you can make to how a house lives.

Who it's for

Homeowners in Bexley, Bromley, Dartford and Kent who've outgrown their current kitchen, opened up a wall, extended, or are simply done pretending the current one works.

When you need it

Renovate when the layout no longer fits how you cook and entertain, when you're extending and integrating an old kitchen won't work, or when cabinets and appliances are beyond economic repair.

Why professional matters

A kitchen renovation touches more trades than any other room — structural, plumbing, electrical, gas, plastering, flooring, joinery, tiling, decorating. Doing it with one accountable team is the difference between a smooth six-week job and a chaotic three-month one.

What Happens If You Wait

The cost of doing nothing — or doing it cheaply.

A kitchen renovation with the wrong team is the most expensive way to buy the same problems in nicer packaging.

Risks & consequences

  • Sub-contractor gaps: plumber leaves before the electrician arrives; nobody owns the boundary between them.
  • Ordering timeline slips: cabinets delivered before the room is ready, or worktops templated off the wrong dimensions.
  • Structural work done without proper calcs — expensive to unpick later, dangerous to live under.
  • Budget creep from verbal quotes and undocumented variations.

Common mistakes homeowners make

  • Starting the renovation before design is fully signed off — every mid-project change is 3× the cost of an on-paper one.
  • Splitting trades between multiple providers to save money — you save on labour and lose on coordination.
  • Underestimating the impact on daily life — a written schedule protects your sanity as much as your budget.
Our Process

Five steps. Fixed dates. Fixed prices.

  1. 01

    Consultation & Design

    We walk the room, discuss how you cook, entertain and store, and produce a design and specification that fits the way you actually live.

  2. 02

    Fixed Written Quote

    Itemised quote covering every trade, every fixture, every allowance. Written variation process for any mid-project changes.

  3. 03

    Strip-Out & Structural

    Old kitchen removed, walls opened where planned, structural steels installed with certified calcs. Floors protected end-to-end.

  4. 04

    First Fix & Cabinet Install

    Plumbing, electrics and gas run to new positions and tested. Cabinets fitted, levelled and scribed. Worktops templated.

  5. 05

    Second Fix, Snag & Handover

    Worktops fitted, appliances commissioned, tiling and flooring completed. Full snag inspection under raking light before we leave.

Why It's Worth Doing Right

Specific, measurable benefits.

Every trade under one roof

Structural, plumbing, gas, electrical, plastering, joinery, tiling — one crew, one accountability.

Fixed itemised written quote

You know the number before day one. Variations in writing.

Coordinated schedule

Trades handoff cleanly. No idle days. No trade waiting on another's leftovers.

Structural work done right

Steels sized by calcs, installed by carriers, signed off by Building Control.

Finish inspected up close

Every door aligned, every worktop joint tight, every silicone bead drawn.

Clean handover

The kitchen you cook in on day one is the same one you'll be proud of in year ten.

The Detail

What actually goes into the work.

A renovation is really a project-management job wearing overalls. Here's how we manage it so you don't have to.

Design and specification

We start with how you live: how many cooks, how you shop, what you never use in your current kitchen. From that comes layout, then storage, then aesthetics — not the other way round. Every drawing is signed off before order.

Structural work

Load-bearing walls come out only with certified calcs, correctly-sized steels and Building Control notification. We coordinate the structural engineer, the steel supplier and the Building Control sign-off — you don't chase anyone.

Services and utilities

Gas connections are handled by a Gas Safe engineer where we're not directly qualified. Electrics are to Part P, water to current regs. Underfloor heating, boiling-water taps and induction supplies are sized correctly before install.

Cabinets, worktops and appliances

Cabinets are fitted before worktop templating. Templates go to the stone supplier, install is coordinated to the day. Appliances are commissioned by us or by the supplier's engineer where the warranty requires it.

Flooring, tiling and decoration

Flooring choice is coordinated with the cabinet plinth height so nothing sits proud. Splashback tiling is set out from hob and sink centre lines. Painting and decorating close out the room so you walk into a finished space, not a checklist.

Handover and aftercare

Bound folder of appliance manuals, warranty cards, worktop care instructions, paint codes and tile codes for future touch-ups. Snag-fix window built into the contract.
