Kitchen Renovations

Entire Building Services carries out kitchen renovations for homeowners and landlords across Bury and Greater Manchester. A kitchen project can involve more than replacing fittings and finishes: the existing layout, the way the room is arranged and any building work needed around the proposed kitchen can all affect the scope of the renovation.

Renovating an existing kitchen starts with understanding the room that is already there and what needs to change. Some projects retain a broadly similar layout and focus on updating the kitchen, while others involve reworking how the space is arranged. The existing structure and services within the property can influence what is practical and what additional work may need to be considered.

Where the proposed kitchen layout involves alterations to walls, new openings or other structural changes, those elements need to be considered as part of the wider project rather than separately from the kitchen itself. Depending on the work proposed, structural input or Building Regulations requirements may also need to be established for the specific property.

A kitchen renovation can also form one part of a larger house renovation or property refurbishment. In that situation, the kitchen work can be considered alongside changes taking place elsewhere in the property so that the different elements form part of an agreed overall scope.

Typical Project Stages

2. 2Consider the proposed layout and identify any associated building or structural work that may form part of the project
3. 3Establish the agreed scope of the kitchen renovation and how the different elements fit together
4. 4Carry out the agreed renovation work through to completion

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a kitchen renovation include?

A kitchen renovation can include changes to the existing layout, fittings and finishes, together with associated building work required for the proposed kitchen. The exact scope depends on the existing room, the property and the changes you want to make.

Can the layout of an existing kitchen be changed?

It may be possible to rework the kitchen layout, but the existing structure, available space and position of services can affect what is practical. The proposed arrangement needs to be considered in the context of the specific property.

Can wall alterations form part of a kitchen renovation?

Yes, where appropriate to the project. Altering or removing certain walls or forming new openings may involve structural considerations, and some work may require structural-engineer input or Building Regulations approval depending on what is proposed.

Can a kitchen renovation be included within a wider property refurbishment?

Yes. Kitchen work can be planned as one element of a wider house renovation or property refurbishment, allowing related changes elsewhere in the property to be considered as part of the overall scope.

What should be considered when planning a kitchen renovation?

Useful starting points include the existing layout, the proposed new arrangement, how the space is intended to be used and whether the changes involve additional building or structural work. The requirements will vary from one property and project to another.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

The programme depends on the scope of the renovation and the work required for the particular kitchen. A project involving substantial layout or structural changes will have different requirements from one focused on a more straightforward update, so the programme should be considered once the scope is established.
