How much does a kitchen refurbishment cost in the UK?

A kitchen renovation can start from £6,200. This is still significantly less than forking out on a complete remodel.

What’s the difference between a kitchen refurbishment and a new kitchen?

Refurbishment reuses and refreshes existing units, worktops, and layouts. A new kitchen involves a complete replacement and redesign.

How long does a kitchen refurbishment take?

Most refurbishments take 1–3 weeks, depending on how much work is involved.

Bear in mind, though, if new electrics or plumbing needs to be reinstalled as part of the kitchen refurb, this could take longer. The same goes if you decide to kit out your kitchen with a new floor.

Can I refurbish my kitchen on a budget?

Yes, refurbishing your kitchen on a budget is definitely possible. Simple updates like repainting cupboard doors, replacing handles, or fitting new worktops can give your kitchen a new look without a full overhaul.

A kitchen refurbishment company should be happy to share some tips and advice with you.

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen refurbishment?

Kitchen refurbishments don’t require planning permission unless you’re making structural changes or live in a listed property.
