Kitchen Renovation FAQs

A typical kitchen renovation takes 3-6 weeks from start to finish. Simple replacements take 1-2 weeks, while major works involving structural changes, extensions, or complete redesigns can take 6-10 weeks. We provide detailed timelines with every quote.

The best layout depends on your space and needs. Popular options include: galley (efficient for narrow spaces), L-shaped (versatile), U-shaped (maximum storage), and open-plan with island (social cooking). We help design layouts that maximize functionality.

Fitted kitchens maximize space and provide seamless storage, ideal for most homes. Freestanding suits larger period properties wanting flexibility and character. Many clients choose a combination - fitted units with freestanding statement pieces.

Popular choices include: Quartz (durable, low maintenance), Granite (natural beauty, heat resistant), Laminate (budget-friendly, versatile), Solid Surface (seamless, repairable), and Wood (warm, needs maintenance). We help you choose based on budget and lifestyle.

Standard kitchen renovations don't need planning permission. However, if you're extending, altering a listed building, or making changes in a conservation area, you may need approval. We handle all planning applications as part of our service.
