Kitchen Renovations

As a 2025 UK guide, a kitchen renovation typically costs between £8,000 and £25,000. The biggest factors are cabinetry, worktops and appliances chosen, whether walls are removed for open-plan, and electrical and plumbing changes. These are guide figures only — the best way to get an accurate price is two or three quotes, which our free matching service arranges for you.

Most kitchen renovation projects take around 2–6 weeks on site, plus design time and any approvals beforehand. Your matched specialist will give you a firm schedule once they've seen the project.

Replacing a kitchen in the same footprint doesn't need planning permission. You only move into planning territory if you extend the house or alter its external appearance. Building regulations apply to electrics, gas and any structural changes such as removing a wall for open-plan — your specialist will confirm what's needed.

Keep the existing layout where you can (moving plumbing and electrics adds cost), invest in worktops and the units that get daily wear, and spend less on easily-changed items. Getting two or three quotes is the single best way to see a fair price.

The kitchen is the room buyers judge most, so a quality refit reliably adds value as well as everyday enjoyment. Matching the spec to your home and area matters more than simply spending the most.
