What this work involves
Start with a final kitchen installation drawing. Then establish which walls, floors and connections change. This avoids furniture that does not fit or inaccessible services.
- Removal of the existing kitchen
- Layout and wall changes
- Water, drainage, electrics and ventilation
- Floor and wall finishes
- Measuring, delivery and installation
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Distinguish patina worth retaining from deterioration during renovation.
Decide this before construction
Select the material early enough to design edges and fixings around it. Review a sample in its intended location before placing the full order.
Which trade-off matters?
Uniform colour and low maintenance are not automatically the same choice. Compare a coated surface with a material allowed to change visibly, including access for future maintenance.
Compare the complete intervention
Compare purchase and recurring maintenance costs. Ask about preparation, fixings and access; the material price per square metre alone gives insufficient guidance.
Cost factors for this service
Building preparation is often separate from the kitchen price. Include service changes and repairs to adjacent surfaces.
Bring this to the discussion
Kitchen design, installation drawing, dimensions and photographs.
Questions about the work
When should the kitchen be measured?
Agree this with the supplier. After building changes, final measuring may need to wait until the relevant dimensions are reliable.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
