Free Consultation
01302-490-277
What's Included in a Full Kitchen Renovation - and What Isn't
- Free design consultation with CAD visuals showing layout, worktop height and socket positions before anything is ordered
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen and packaging under the company's own registered waste carrier licence
- Structural and building work for wall removal or extensions, including liaison with structural engineers and building control
- Bespoke cabinetry built by City & Guilds qualified joiners, from painted Shaker doors to handleless modern units
- Worktop templating and installation in granite, quartz, solid surface and other stone or laminate options
- Plumbing for sinks, taps and appliance connections, carried out by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds trained plumbers
- Electrical work - new circuits, sockets and lighting - installed and safety-certified by Part P approved electricians
- Gas hob and range cooker connection and commissioning, carried out only by Gas Safe registered engineers
- Plastering by a master plasterer
- Handover with appliance operating instructions and full warranty documentation
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Additional electrical or plumbing upgrades that some older properties turn out to need aren't assumed in a standard quote - they're identified at the initial consultation and priced separately, not sprung on you mid-job
- Planning permission and building control sign-off (needed for larger extensions, structural wall removal, or work on listed or conservation-area properties) is managed on your behalf but is a separate statutory process from the renovation quote itself, with its own timescale
- If you'd rather fit your own appliances instead of buying through the company, qualified trades can still carry out the connection, but the item itself falls outside the 2-year product guarantee that applies to appliances supplied as part of the job
How a Kitchen Renovation Actually Runs, Trade by Trade
- Free design consultation -- A visit to assess the existing kitchen and structure, talk through how the space actually gets used day to day, and produce CAD visuals with a written quotation before anything is committed to.
- Design sign-off and trades booked in -- Once the design is agreed, cabinetry goes into production, worktop materials such as granite or quartz are scheduled for laser templating, and the specific qualified trade needed for each part of the job is booked - City & Guilds joiners, NVQ Level 2/City & Guilds plumbers, Part P electricians, and a Gas Safe registered engineer if a gas hob or range cooker is involved.
- Strip-out and structural work -- The old kitchen and packaging are cleared under the company's own registered waste carrier licence, and any structural work - wall removal, extension building, coordination with a structural engineer and building control - is completed before fitting starts.
- Fitting -- Cabinetry, worktops, plumbing, electrics, plastering and gas connections are installed by the in-house crew under one project manager, so there's a single point of contact for any query rather than several separate tradesmen to chase.
- Testing, certification and handover -- Electrical work is safety-certified, any gas appliance is tested and commissioned by the Gas Safe engineer, and the finished kitchen is handed over with appliance instructions and warranty paperwork covering the 5-year labour and installation guarantee and 2-year product guarantee.

One Crew, One Project Manager, No Subcontractors to Chase
Ask what happens if something needs fixing after the fitters have gone, and the answer says more about a company than any list of qualifications. Every kitchen here comes with a 5-year guarantee on the labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on the products themselves, agreed in writing before a tool is picked up - not a verbal assurance that's hard to enforce once the job is finished. That guarantee only means something if the person doing the work is properly qualified to do it, which is why gas hobs and range cookers are commissioned exclusively by a Gas Safe registered engineer, new wiring and circuits are signed off by a Part P approved electrician, and plumbing connections are handled by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds trained plumbers rather than whoever happens to be free that day.
It's also part of why the business gets called out more often than it would like to put right kitchens fitted by unqualified, bargain-basement traders - a cheap quote that skips proper certification tends to cost more to unpick later than it saved at the time. Cabinetry and joinery are built by City & Guilds qualified joiners, plastering is carried out by a master plasterer with decades on site, and the old kitchen and packaging leave the property under the company's own registered waste carrier licence rather than being handed off to a third-party skip firm. Membership of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses, and finance options for larger projects, matter less on their own than the fact that one project manager oversees the whole job from start to finish - so a query about the plastering or the gas connection goes to the same person every time, not a different subcontractor depending on who fitted what.
Kitchen Fitting Across Rotherham, From Kimberworth to Wath-upon-Dearne
The company is based at 49A Avondale Road in Kimberworth, S61, so Rotherham jobs aren't a special trip out of area - it's the ground the vans are already covering most weeks. That puts the town centre and Moorgate, Wickersley and Bramley to the east, Wath-upon-Dearne and Swinton to the north, Maltby and Dinnington out towards the Nottinghamshire border, and Whiston, Aston and Catcliffe near the M1 all within easy reach for a design visit, worktop templating or a snagging call-back. House age varies street by street across Rotherham, and that changes what a renovation actually involves.
Around Eastwood, Masbrough and Canklow - streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces originally built for workers at the old Templeborough steelworks - kitchens tend to be narrow and galley-shaped, walls are often solid stone or brick that need a proper lintel and opening rather than a stud-wall shortcut when one comes out, and there's sometimes an old coal cellar or pantry that can be folded into the new layout. The ex-council semis common around Wath, Maltby and parts of Kimberworth usually give more room to reconfigure the layout but often still have their original consumer unit and wiring, so an electrical upgrade tends to come up as part of the job rather than being an optional extra. Newer estates around Bramley and Wickersley are generally more straightforward, with fewer structural surprises, though access for deliveries on some of the tighter cul-de-sacs is worth mentioning at the design visit so it can be planned around in advance.
