Kitchen Renovations in Wandsworth

A standalone kitchen renovation in a Wandsworth terrace is a different scope from a side return extension. You're working inside the existing footprint: re-routing electrics and plumbing, removing or repositioning walls if required, retiling, replastering, and installing a new kitchen design from your chosen supplier. Most SW18 kitchen renovations run 3–5 weeks.

What a Wandsworth kitchen renovation typically includes

• Strip-out: removal of existing kitchen, appliances, flooring, wall tiles, splashbacks.
• Wall removal if a layout change is needed (often a non-load-bearing internal wall to open up a galley kitchen). Structural calc required for any load-bearing wall.
• First fix electrical: re-routing for the new layout, additional sockets, lighting circuits, appliance dedicated circuits, EICR-compliant work.
• First fix plumbing: hot/cold supply runs, waste runs, dishwasher and washing machine connections.
• Replastering walls and any floor levelling work.
• Underfloor heating installation if specified.
• Floor tiling or hardwood flooring.
• Wall tiling and splashback.
• Kitchen unit installation — we coordinate with your supplier (or build to a spec you provide).
• Appliance install (oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge connection).
• Second fix: sockets and lighting, taps and waste connections, sealing.
• Decoration and snagging.

Typical timeline

Most Wandsworth kitchen renovations run 3–5 weeks on site. The kitchen is unusable for the duration so most clients arrange a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house — we can advise on a sensible setup if needed. Where possible we minimise the period between strip-out and your supplier's delivery to keep the unusable window short.

Choosing a kitchen supplier

You bring the kitchen design and units; we build around them. Common suppliers we've worked with in SW18:

• Howdens / Wren — budget to mid-range, fast lead times, widely available.
• Magnet, B&Q, Wickes — mid-range with in-house design service.
• Devol, Plain English, Naked Kitchens — premium, longer lead times, often 12–16 weeks from order.
• Bespoke joiners — we can recommend SW London joiners if you want fully bespoke.

Lead time for premium and bespoke is the most common scheduling issue. We can sequence other work — plastering, flooring, electrical — to land on the kitchen delivery date so site time is not wasted.

Pricing approach

Standard SW18 kitchen renovations sit in £18k–£45k for the building work, excluding the units themselves. The range reflects scope (wall removal, layout change, extent of new flooring) and finish level. After a free site visit we provide an itemised written quote within 5 working days. We quote separately for any structural elements so you can see the breakdown.
