Layout and space planning
Working the plan around how you actually cook, including clearances, appliance swing and the walk pattern between sink, hob and fridge.
Layout, cabinetry, stone, plumbing, electrical and lighting handled as a single package — so the trades stop blaming each other.
A kitchen is the densest room in a house. Structure, plumbing, gas, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry, stone, tile and lighting all have to land within millimetres of each other, in a sequence where each trade depends on the last one being right.
When those trades are hired separately, the gaps between them become your problem. The cabinet installer blames the framer, the stone template arrives before the appliances are confirmed, and the pendant lights end up off-centre over an island that moved two inches.
We run the whole thing under one licence. Selections are locked before demolition, the layout is set out on the floor before anything is ordered, and one person carries responsibility from tear-out through to the final silicone line.

One licence covers all of it. You are not appointing six separate trades and refereeing between them.
Working the plan around how you actually cook, including clearances, appliance swing and the walk pattern between sink, hob and fridge.
Custom and semi-custom cabinetry, scribed and levelled properly — the difference between a kitchen that looks fitted and one that looks placed.
Templating after cabinets are set, not before, so reveals and overhangs are right and the seams land where they should.
Relocated waste and supply, filtered water, pot fillers and gas runs, all inspected and signed off.
Circuits for modern appliance loads, plus task, feature and under-cabinet lighting planned with the layout rather than after it.
Backsplash setting-out that centres on what the eye actually reads, continuous flooring, and a proper paint finish.
You will always know which stage you are in and what happens next.
Layout agreed, appliances confirmed, and cabinetry, stone, tile and fixtures selected — before a single cabinet is ordered.
Careful demolition, then plumbing, gas and electrical moved to suit the new plan and inspected.
Cabinetry set and levelled, stone templated and installed, backsplash set out to read correctly.
Lighting, fixtures, paint, appliance install, then a walkthrough where you list anything that is not right.

A straightforward remodel in the existing footprint usually runs six to ten weeks on site. Moving walls, relocating plumbing or waiting on custom cabinetry extends that. The single biggest cause of delay is selections that are still undecided after demolition has started.
Almost always, yes. We seal the work area, protect the routes through the house, and most clients set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere. We will tell you which weeks are the disruptive ones.
Either. Many clients prefer us to supply and coordinate cabinetry because it puts lead times and any manufacturing faults on us rather than on you. If you have already chosen a supplier, we will work with them.
If you are moving plumbing, gas or electrical, or altering structure, then yes. Cosmetic replacement in the same footprint often does not. We will tell you which category your project falls into and handle the submission if it is needed.
Under-specifying lighting and power. Cabinets and stone get all the attention, but the thing people notice daily is whether the worktop is properly lit and whether there are enough outlets where they actually work.
Most projects touch more than one of these. See all services.
Waterproofing, substrate and drainage done properly first — then the tile, stone and fixtures you actually picked out.
Interior gut and rebuild — planned so you know what happens each week and, more importantly, when you get your house back.
