Kitchen refurbishment in Roehampton
Homeowners and landlords in Roehampton can book us for kitchen refurbishment: keep sound units and replace what you see: doors, worktops, handles, sink, tap and lighting.
Is kitchen refurbishment right for your Roehampton kitchen?
Plenty of homeowners in Roehampton have kitchens with solid carcasses and tired fronts, and a refurbishment lets them keep the layout they are used to while replacing everything they see each day.
After a leak under the sink, some Roehampton homeowners find only a few units are damaged; swapping those and refreshing the fronts can cost far less than starting again. Our Greater London coverage reaches every part of Roehampton (SW15) and out towards Putney.

House types around Roehampton and what they mean for a kitchen
In and around Roehampton, homes range across Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.
London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.
Regulations for kitchen work in Roehampton
Refurbishing a kitchen in England needs no planning permission or Building Regulations approval in itself, though a listed home may need listed building consent before historic features are removed. Swapping light fittings or adding sockets on existing kitchen circuits is not notifiable under Part P but must meet BS 7671; a new circuit is notifiable. A gas hob must be disconnected and reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.
Getting the most from your kitchen refurbishment
- Collect appliance model numbers before the survey so housing sizes and door-fixing kits can be checked against anything you plan to keep or replace.
- Photograph the inside of a few cupboards, including the hinges and drawer boxes, so replacement doors and fronts can be matched to your existing carcasses.
- If you let a property in Roehampton, book the refurbishment between tenancies and choose durable finishes such as laminate worktops and wipe-clean splashbacks.
- Open the sink cupboard and look for swollen board or staining; water-damaged carcasses should be replaced, not hidden behind new doors.
Questions about kitchen refurbishment in Roehampton
How much does kitchen refurbishment cost in Roehampton?
Kitchen refurbishment in Roehampton typically costs £3,200 to £7,800 including VAT for new doors, worktops and handles on sound units, based on prices in London. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.
Can you measure up in Roehampton before quoting?
Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Roehampton. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.
Can I keep my existing appliances during a refurbishment?
Usually, yes. Built-in ovens, hobs and integrated appliances can stay if they work well and suit the existing housings. If you replace one, the new appliance must match the housing dimensions and door-fixing method, and a larger oven or an induction hob may need a new cooker circuit. We check model numbers and sizes at the survey, before you buy anything.
Will a refurbished kitchen look like a new one?
It can come very close, because doors, worktops, handles and the splashback make up most of what you see. The differences show inside the cupboards and in the layout, which stays the same. Matching new end panels, plinths and cornice to the doors matters, because old panels left in place give the age of the kitchen away.
How do you check whether my kitchen units are sound?
At the survey we check the carcasses one by one. We look for swollen or flaking board around the sink, dishwasher and kettle area, staining from old leaks, sagging shelves, damaged hinge holes, loose wall fixings and units that have dropped out of level. Sound carcasses are kept, and damaged ones are listed on the quote as replacements so nothing is left to chance later.
