Quick Answer
A good kitchen renovation improves how the room performs, not just how it photographs
The strongest kitchen projects fix layout frustration, storage pressure, lighting, flow and finishing quality together, so the room becomes easier to use every day.
Direct answer: most London kitchen renovations sit between £12,000 and £60,000+, with many serious design-led projects starting from around £20,000. Installation is typically 3 to 6 weeks, but the right route depends on whether you are keeping the layout, redesigning the room, or combining the kitchen with wider structural change.
Conversion Tool
Want a fast kitchen budget range before you enquire?
Use the kitchen cost calculator to get a realistic starting range before you commit time to drawings, supplier visits or the wrong design direction.
Installation phase
Typically 3 to 6 weeks
Straight installations move faster. Structural work, lead times and layout changes can extend the overall programme.
Starting point
From around £20,000
That is where many London kitchens start once you want a properly coordinated design, quality installation and a result that feels built to last.
Delivery model
Design-build or installation-only
We can manage the whole route or step in as the build team if your design and supply choices are already made.
Included
What is included in a kitchen renovation
This is the real work behind a finished kitchen. It is not just cabinets going in. It is coordination across services, layout, installation and finishing.
Strip-out and preparation
Removing the existing kitchen cleanly, preparing the room properly and dealing with the practical realities that affect the new install.
Plumbing and electrics
First-fix and service changes for new layouts, appliance positions, lighting, extraction and the day-to-day functionality of the room.
Units, worktops and cabinetry fitting
The core installation work that determines how the kitchen looks, feels and performs long after the handover.
Tiling, decorating and finishing
The surfaces, trims and final detailing that make the difference between a kitchen that is merely new and one that feels properly finished.
Appliance fitting and final connections
Integrating appliances cleanly and safely so the kitchen works as a complete room rather than a collection of separate parts.
Snagging and closeout
The final pass where tolerances, finishes and usability are checked so the result feels premium, not rushed over the line.
Costs
Kitchen renovation cost ranges in London
Use these guide ranges to narrow down which type of kitchen project is actually realistic for your budget before you fall in love with the wrong scheme.
£12,000 to £18,000Around 3 to 4 weeks
Basic refresh
Best when the layout broadly works and the goal is to replace tired cabinetry, surfaces and finishes without major reconfiguration.
£20,000 to £35,000Around 4 to 6 weeks
Mid-range redesign
The strongest fit for most London kitchens where you want a better layout, stronger storage, upgraded finishes and a more resolved design.
£35,000 to £60,000+Often 5 to 8+ weeks
High-end or structural kitchen project
Used when the project includes structural openings, premium cabinetry, higher-spec appliances, bespoke detailing or a more ambitious design brief.
Delivery Model
Design and build versus installation-only
Both routes can work. The right choice depends on how much is already resolved before site starts and how much coordination you want to own yourself.
Full design, supply and install
Best when you want one accountable team to coordinate the layout, technical planning, procurement input, installation and final finish. It reduces disconnects between what was drawn, what was ordered and what gets built.
Installation-only
Best when your kitchen has already been designed and sourced, but you still want an experienced team to install it properly, coordinate the trades and protect the finish quality on site.
Proof
Kitchen projects that show both finish quality and control
The best kitchen proof is specific. It should show that the room works better, the detailing is clean, and the installation did not unravel into stress.

Process
How we keep kitchen projects organised
Kitchen projects usually become stressful when the design, supplier choices and installation are not properly coordinated. This process is designed to stop that happening.
Step 1
Define the right kitchen brief
We start by getting clear on how you cook, store, host and move through the room, so the design solves real frustrations rather than just changing the look.
Step 2
Plan the layout and technical scope
Cabinetry, appliances, electrics, plumbing, extraction, lighting and finishes all need to work together before installation starts.
Step 3
Prepare the room properly
Strip-out, making-good and first-fix work come before the visual transformation. This is what protects the quality of the install later.
Step 4
Install with controlled sequencing
Units, worktops, appliances, tiling and decorating are sequenced carefully so tolerances stay tight and the finish quality does not drift.
Step 5
Snag and hand over properly
A kitchen should be handed over feeling complete, aligned and ready to use, not waiting on a tail of small fixes.
