Question 1

How long does a typical kitchen renovation take?

Accepted Answer

Most kitchen renovations take between 4 and 10 weeks on site, depending on the size of the space and whether structural work is involved. We agree a clear programme before work starts so you know what is happening at each stage.

Question 2

Do you handle electrics, plumbing, plastering and flooring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We manage every trade needed for your project — builders, joiners, plasterers, electricians, plumbers and tilers — using the same personally vetted subcontractors we work with on every job. You only deal with one point of contact.

Question 3

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension or knock-through?

Accepted Answer

Internal knock-throughs usually do not need planning permission, but any load-bearing wall removal requires a structural engineer's calculations and building control approval. We arrange the necessary calcs and approvals as part of the project.

Question 4

How much does a kitchen renovation cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different. We provide a written, itemised quotation based on your specific space, finishes and structural requirements, with no hidden extras. A free, no-obligation site visit is the best starting point for an accurate cost.

Question 5

Can you supply the kitchen and materials, or do I need to buy them?

Accepted Answer

We can supply and fit kitchens, worktops, doors, flooring and associated materials, or work with items you have already chosen. We are happy to guide you through options that suit your budget and style.

Question 6

Can I live in the house while the work is happening?

Accepted Answer

For most kitchen renovations you can stay at home, although there will be periods when water, gas or electricity is off for short stretches. We plan the programme to keep disruption to a minimum and keep you updated throughout.

Question 7

Are you insured and do you use accredited trades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry the appropriate insurance for renovation work and use accredited contractors for gas and electrical work. Safety, compliance and a professional finish are central to how we run every project.

Question 8

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We work across Cheshire and Greater Manchester, including Stockport, Marple, Hazel Grove, Offerton, Bramhall and surrounding towns and villages. If you are nearby, get in touch and we will let you know if we can cover your project.

Question 9

How do I get a quote?

Accepted Answer

Send us a message through the enquiry form, call, or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us what you are planning, where the property is and your preferred timescale. We will arrange a visit, measure up and send you a written, itemised quote.

Question 10

Do you also do smaller joinery jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As well as full renovations we fit internal doors, media walls, alcove units, fitted wardrobes and bespoke joinery. Take a look at our Joinery page for examples of smaller jobs.
