About This Service

What a Kitchen Renovation in Manchester Actually Involves

A kitchen renovation in Manchester is rarely a one-trade job. The walls of a 1930s semi in Sale need different treatment to those in a 1970s terrace in Levenshulme. The drainage configuration under a Chorlton terrace sits differently to a detached in Altrincham. That local knowledge — built across 200+ kitchens and 15 years of working exclusively across Greater Manchester — is what separates a renovation that lasts from one that causes problems 18 months later.

We manage every element of your kitchen renovation in-house: strip-out, structural alterations (including RSJs for open-plan layouts), first and second fix plumbing, first and second fix electrics, plastering, tiling, unit installation, worktop fitting, appliance connection and final decoration. You deal with one team and one project manager throughout — not a rotating cast of subcontractors each responsible for a different part of your kitchen.

Whether you want a straightforward kitchen refurbishment or remodel — new units, worktops and splashback in your existing layout — or a full open-plan kitchen extension that transforms your ground floor, we quote both in the same way: itemised, fixed and in writing before a single wall comes down.

Our Process

How Your Kitchen Renovation Works — Step by Step

A clear, transparent process so you always know what's happening and when — from first call to final sign-off.

1

Free Site Survey

We visit your home, measure your kitchen, assess existing services (plumbing, electrics, gas) and listen to exactly what you want. We'll flag any structural implications upfront — particularly relevant for open-plan conversions in Greater Manchester's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, where the wall between kitchen and dining room is almost always load-bearing.

Day 1 — No charge, no obligation
2

Design & Fixed-Price Quote

Within 48 hours you receive a fully itemised quote — every trade, material and fixture broken down line by line. For bespoke and fitted kitchens we produce a CAD layout for your approval before locking the price. The quote is fixed. We only charge more if you ask us to add to the scope after acceptance.

Within 48 hours of survey

Materials Ordered & Start Date Confirmed

Once you approve the quote we order all materials and lock in your start date. We handle any building control applications needed — typically only for structural work. Most kitchen renovations in Manchester don't require planning permission.

FAQs

Kitchen Renovation Manchester — Your Questions Answered

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Manchester?+
Based on 200+ kitchens completed across Greater Manchester: a budget refurbishment (new units in existing layout) runs £9,000–£14,000. A mid-range renovation with repositioned services and quality worktops runs £14,000–£22,000. A full open-plan conversion or bespoke kitchen typically costs £22,000–£40,000+. Every quote is fixed and itemised after your free site survey — you'll know the exact price before any work starts.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Manchester?+
A straightforward kitchen refurbishment with no layout changes typically takes 1–2 weeks. A mid-range renovation with repositioned services and new tiling runs 2–3 weeks. A full open-plan kitchen conversion including structural work usually takes 3–5 weeks. We provide a detailed week-by-week programme before any work starts so you can plan accordingly.
Do I need planning permission to renovate my kitchen in Manchester?+
In the vast majority of cases, no. Internal kitchen renovations — including structural alterations like removing a load-bearing wall — fall under Building Regulations rather than planning permission. You'll need building control sign-off for structural work, which we include as part of our service. Planning permission is only required if your kitchen renovation involves an external extension to the property.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall to create an open-plan kitchen?+
Yes — this is one of the most common requests we receive, particularly in Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Chorlton, Didsbury and Levenshulme where the wall between kitchen and dining room is almost always load-bearing. We handle the structural engineer's calculations, RSJ procurement and installation, padstones, building control application and sign-off — all included in your fixed quote.
Do you supply the kitchen units or do I need to source them?+
We're flexible. We can supply and fit kitchens from a range of suppliers including Howdens, Symphony and bespoke joinery, or we can fit a kitchen you've already sourced from Wren, IKEA, John Lewis or any other supplier. Supply-and-fit and fit-only quotes are priced separately so you see exactly what you're paying for each element.
What makes you different from other kitchen fitters in Manchester?+
Three things that matter most: all our trades are directly employed (no subcontractors), every quote is fully fixed in writing before work starts (not a loose estimate), and you have one named project manager throughout the entire project. We've worked exclusively across Greater Manchester for 15+ years, meaning we understand the specific construction methods, council requirements and property types in M20, M21, SK1 and every postcode in between.
Do you cover my area of Manchester?+
We cover all Greater Manchester postcodes — Didsbury (M20), Chorlton (M21), Salford (M5–M7), Stockport (SK1–SK6), Altrincham (WA14–WA15), Sale (M33), Stretford (M32), Urmston (M41), Levenshulme (M19), Withington (M20), Wythenshawe (M22–M23) and Trafford (M16–M17). If your postcode isn't listed, contact us — we almost certainly cover it.
