Kevin arrived promptly at the time we agreed. I simply cannot fault him at all, he was extremely polite, friendly and very meticulous towards his work.

Thankyou Kevin.... you were a joy to meet and many thanks for all the work you carried out.. Definitely a 5 star rating from me.

I had a professional experience from the first point of contact to the finish of the job. Jay & Jordan are both very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and stick to the agreement. It was a straight forward job, and that's exactly how they handled it. No complications. Handed over a clean and tidy site. Have asked them to quote for another job. I have advised them to bring up their online presence to give potential customers more information about the company.

Russell and Tom are very reliable people who can offer high quality for renovation, tiling, plastering, and, like in our case, kitchen fitting. You can talk openly with them and they can also provide good advice that meets your personal budget and expectations. The job was finished on time, with no delays on their part, and they showed an excellent understanding of our needs. Definitely recommended, especially if you've never hired anyone before and need someone trustworthy for a good job!

What is included in a kitchen refurbishment?
A kitchen refurbishment can vary greatly depending on your needs and budget. Typically, it includes:

Cost of a complete kitchen refurbishment
The cost of a kitchen refurbishment can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials chosen, the extent of the work needed, and your location. Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you understand what to expect:
Basic Kitchen Refurbishment: £5,000 – £10,000
A basic refurbishment typically includes:
- Flooring: Installing new, cost-effective flooring options such as vinyl or laminate.
- Painting: Fresh paint for walls and ceilings to update the look of the kitchen.
- Appliance Replacement: Swapping out old appliances for standard, energy-efficient models.
- Cabinet Refresh: Refacing or repainting existing cabinets rather than replacing them.
- Lighting: Basic lighting updates, such as installing new fixtures or LED bulbs.
Mid-Range Kitchen Refurbishment: £10,000 – £20,000
A mid-range refurbishment offers more extensive updates:
- New Cabinets: Installing brand-new cabinets in a variety of materials and finishes.
- Countertops: Adding new countertops made of materials like quartz, granite, or solid surface.
- Appliance Upgrades: High-quality, mid-range appliances that offer better performance and aesthetics.
- Flooring: Installing higher-end flooring options like ceramic tiles or hardwood.

High-End Kitchen Refurbishment: £20,000 – £50,000+
A high-end refurbishment involves top-of-the-line materials and extensive custom work:
- Custom Cabinets: Bespoke cabinetry designed to your exact specifications.
- Premium Countertops: Installing luxurious countertops made from materials such as marble, high-end quartz, or exotic stones.
- Top-Tier Appliances: High-end, professional-grade appliances that offer advanced features and exceptional performance.

- Structural Changes: Significant alterations to the kitchen layout, such as removing walls to create an open-plan space.
- Smart Kitchen Features: Integration of smart technology for appliances, lighting, and other kitchen elements.
Additional Costs to Consider
- Plumbing and Electrical Work: Upgrading or moving plumbing and electrical systems can add to the overall cost.
- Labour Costs: Skilled tradespeople such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and tilers will add to the expense.
- Permits and Regulations: Depending on the scope of the project, you may need permits which can also incur costs.
- Design Services: Hiring a kitchen designer to plan and visualise the new layout and design can be an additional expense.
- Contingency Budget: It’s wise to allocate an extra 10-20% of your budget for unexpected costs or changes during the refurbishment process.
How to Budget for Your Kitchen Refurbishment
- Get Multiple Quotes: Obtain detailed quotes from several kitchen refurbishers near you to compare costs and services.
- Prioritise Your Needs: Decide which elements of your kitchen are most important to you and allocate your budget accordingly.
- Plan for Quality: Invest in quality materials and workmanship to ensure your kitchen stands the test of time and adds value to your home.
- Consider Phasing the Project: If your budget is limited, consider completing the refurbishment in phases, prioritising the most critical updates first.
By understanding the different levels of refurbishment and their associated costs, you can make informed decisions that align with your budget and vision for your new kitchen.
What kinds of tradespeople do I need for a kitchen refurbishment?
A successful kitchen refurbishment typically involves a team of skilled tradespeople, including:
- Kitchen Specialist: To help plan the layout and aesthetics of your new kitchen.
- Carpenters: For cabinet and countertop installation.
- Electricians: To handle all electrical work, including lighting and appliance installation.
- Plumbers: For installing sinks, faucets, and any other plumbing fixtures.
- Tilers: For flooring and backsplash installation.
- Painters and Decorators: To finish walls and ceilings.
Luckily, if you hire a company that specialises in kitchen refurbishments, you won’t have to hire each of these tradespeople separately. They will likely provide a team of people to complete all the work seamlessly.
Other kitchen refurbishment FAQs
Do I need a permit for a kitchen refurbishment?
Depending on the extent of the work, you may need a permit for electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. Check with your local council for specific requirements.
How long does a kitchen refurbishment take?
A full kitchen refurbishment can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and the availability of materials and tradespeople.
Can I live in my house during a kitchen refurbishment?
Yes, but it may be inconvenient. You might need to set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in your home while the work is being done.
