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.
Allocate responsibility for interfaces between renovation packages.
Decide this before construction
Prioritise decisions affecting several rooms before individual product choices. Then use room-by-room decision dates linked to the work that would otherwise wait.
Which trade-off matters?
A continuous material palette brings calm, but rooms serve different uses. Decide which qualities should remain consistent and where moisture, sound or intensive use calls for a different solution.
Compare the complete intervention
Compare quotations by room and by trade. Check that interfaces such as making good walls after service work are included exactly once, with clear responsibility.
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
