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.
Identify mouldings and original elements that must be retained beforehand.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
Which trade-off matters?
Exact reproduction and a clearly contemporary addition are different design choices. Compare their junctions; an almost matching brick or profile can look less coherent than a carefully chosen contrast.
Compare the complete intervention
Allow a separate item for making good around the junction. The new wall may be precisely priced while adjustments to existing pointing, mouldings and finishes remain missing.
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.
