Kitchen Renovation London

The cost depends on the kitchen size, specification, existing condition and the amount of building work required. A straightforward replacement costs less than a complete renovation involving layout changes, new services, structural work, flooring and decoration. Growchance prepares the scope around the confirmed design and property condition before providing a detailed quotation.

Many standard kitchen renovations take approximately three to six weeks once work starts. Larger projects involving wall removal, structural steel, substantial service alterations, specialist worktops or bespoke components may take longer. The programme also depends on kitchen, appliance and worktop delivery dates.

Yes. Growchance can coordinate the kitchen renovation with internal or load-bearing wall removal. Load-bearing alterations normally require structural calculations, temporary support, correctly specified steelwork and Building Control approval. These requirements should be established before the kitchen layout and installation programme are finalised.

Planning permission is not normally required for internal kitchen renovation work. It may become relevant where the project changes the external appearance, forms part of an extension, affects a listed building or involves restrictions applying to the property. Building Regulations approval may still be required for structural alterations, drainage, ventilation and certain electrical work.

The supply arrangement is agreed for each project. We can work with a kitchen selected and ordered by the customer, or coordinate the renovation around an agreed supplier and design. Before work starts, the final drawings, component list, appliance models, delivery dates and supply responsibilities must be confirmed.

Strip-out, structural work and service alterations can also create noise, dust and temporary disruption.

The final kitchen design, dimensions, appliance specifications, worktop arrangement, finishes and supply responsibilities should be confirmed.
