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.
Separate functional improvements from interventions changing the recognisable elevation.
Decide this before construction
Assess the existing detail before selecting products. Then coordinate insulation, ventilation and visible finishes so one improvement does not create an unexamined consequence elsewhere.
Which trade-off matters?
New performance and existing proportions need assessment together. A different frame profile can affect glass area, reveals and internal finishes; compare the complete detail, not just the product rating.
Compare the complete intervention
Include internal making good and possible sill adjustments with facade work. Compare options using the complete work package around the opening.
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.
