Kitchen renovation process in London

At P&B Interiors, we understand that a kitchen renovation is more than just a home improvement project—it’s a transformation of one of the most important spaces in your home. Whether you dream of a modern culinary haven or a classic family kitchen, knowing what to expect can make the renovation journey smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand the kitchen renovation process in London.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Design Brief

Your kitchen renovation journey starts with a personal consultation. At P&B Interiors, we sit with you to understand your vision, needs, lifestyle, and budget. This stage includes:

  • Assessing your current kitchen layout
  • Understanding your design preferences
  • Discussing your must-have features (e.g., islands, smart storage, lighting, etc.)
  • Reviewing your timeline and expectations

This step helps us create a design brief that becomes the foundation of your renovation.

Step 2: Site Visit & Measurements

Next, our team will visit your property to assess the space in person. We take precise measurements, note the current plumbing and electrical setups, and check for structural issues. This ensures we have accurate information to create a practical and beautiful kitchen design.

Step 3: Design & Layout Planning

Using the measurements and your vision, our designers create layout options and 3D renderings to help you visualise the final result. We consider:

  • Ergonomics and flow
  • Appliance positioning
  • Lighting plans
  • Storage solutions
  • Material and colour schemes

We collaborate with you to fine-tune the design until it perfectly fits your vision.

Step 4: Quotation & Schedule

Once the design is approved, we provide a detailed quotation outlining costs for materials, labour, and any specialist work. A transparent, itemised quote gives you peace of mind and avoids surprises.

We also provide a project timeline so you know what to expect each week during the renovation.

Step 5: Permits & Planning (If Required)

For most kitchen renovations in London, planning permission isn’t required unless you’re making structural changes or working on a listed property. If necessary, we assist with:

  • Building regulation compliance
  • Structural engineering approvals
  • Liaising with local councils

We handle the paperwork, so you don’t have to worry.

Step 6: Preparation & Demolition

The existing one needs to be removed before we begin building your new kitchen. This step includes:

  • Removing cabinets, worktops, and appliances
  • Disconnecting utilities (gas, water, electric)
  • Preparing the space for construction (dust protection, skip hire, etc.)

We take care to minimise disruption and maintain cleanliness throughout the process.

Step 7: Installation of Services

After demolition, we install or upgrade:

  • Plumbing systems (sinks, dishwashers)
  • Electrical systems (lighting, sockets, appliance connections)
  • Gas lines (for cookers, ovens, etc.)

Our certified tradespeople ensure all work is done to the highest safety and quality standards.

Step 8: Flooring, Walls & Ceilings

With the services in place, we move on to installing or repairing the structural surfaces:

  • Floor tiling or wood flooring
  • Wall treatments (plastering, painting, splashbacks)
  • Ceiling updates (spotlights, coving, paintwork)

This stage starts to bring your new kitchen to life!

Step 9: Cabinetry & Worktops

Your bespoke kitchen cabinets and worktops are now installed. Our skilled craftsmen ensure:

  • Precise fitting of all units
  • Secure installation of worktops (stone, quartz, laminate, etc.)
  • Custom features like soft-close drawers and integrated storage

This is when you really start to see the transformation taking shape.

Step 10: Appliance Fitting & Final Touches

We carefully fit all your appliances, ensuring they’re correctly connected and ready to use. Final touches include:

  • Installing splashbacks and accessories
  • Final painting or touch-ups
  • Styling the kitchen with finishes like handles and lighting fixtures

Step 11: Final Inspection & Handover

Before considering the project complete, we conduct a detailed inspection to ensure everything is perfect. We:

  • Test all appliances and fixtures
  • Walk you through the completed kitchen
  • Provide care instructions for your new surfaces and appliances

Your satisfaction is our priority. We only sign off when you’re 100% happy.
