About our kitchen renovation service
A kitchen is often the most complex room in any building, requiring a balance between aesthetic design and technical functionality. At Design N Build, we manage the entire kitchen renovation process, helping homeowners and commercial clients transform outdated or inefficient spaces into modern, high performance environments. Whether you are looking for a minor update to your cabinetry or a complete structural reconfiguration as part of a wider home renovation, our approach ensures every detail is handled with precision. From the initial layout planning to the final coat of paint, we integrate expert kitchen plumbing, electrical upgrades, and bespoke joinery. Our services cater to various project types, including residential family homes, modern apartment refurbishments, and commercial food preparation areas. We understand that a kitchen needs to withstand heavy daily use, which is why we focus on durable materials and professional installation techniques that meet all current UK building regulations and safety standards.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a standard kitchen renovation take?
A typical residential kitchen renovation takes between three and five weeks depending on the complexity. This includes the removal of old units, first-fix plumbing and electrics, plastering, installation of new cabinetry, and fitting worktops. Larger commercial projects or those requiring structural wall removals may take longer.
Do I need planning permission for a new kitchen?
Most internal kitchen renovations fall under Permitted Development and do not require planning permission. However, if your property is listed, located in a conservation area, or if you are planning a significant extension as part of the project, formal approval will be necessary. We can advise on these requirements during the planning stage.
Is the work covered by building regulations?
Yes, all electrical work and gas plumbing must be carried out by certified professionals to comply with UK Building Regulations. We provide the necessary safety certificates for all gas and electrical installations upon completion of the project, ensuring your home remains compliant and safe.
Can I stay in my house during the renovation?
While it is possible to stay in your home, the kitchen will be out of use for several weeks. There will be noise, dust, and periods where water or electricity may be turned off. We work efficiently to minimise disruption and can often set up a temporary basic cooking station if required.
What determines the total cost of a kitchen renovation?
Costs vary significantly based on the size of the room, the choice of materials, and the extent of the plumbing and electrical changes. A high quality bespoke renovation typically involves costs for units, work surfaces, appliances, and professional labour. We provide a detailed quote following a site survey.
