Kitchen renovation in Fulham
Kitchen replacement and open-plan reconfiguration, including structural openings.
A full kitchen renovation in Fulham is £25,000–£70,000 including units, appliances, and all building work. Around half of that is builder's work — moving services, structural openings, floors and plastering — which is the part people underestimate when comparing showroom quotes.
Consider this if
- The kitchen is a closed-off galley you want opened up
- You are removing a wall between kitchen and dining room
- Appliances and services need relocating, not just replacing
- The floor level steps down into a back addition
- You are fitting a kitchen supplied by a showroom and need a builder
- The kitchen is part of a wider extension project
What's included
- Structural opening with steel beam, designed and building-control signed off
- All services relocated — gas, water, waste, power, extraction
- Floor levelling across the old back-addition step
- Plastering, decoration and floor finishes
- Installation of your chosen kitchen, or supply through our suppliers
- Electrical certification and gas safety certificate

Structural openings designed by an engineer and inspected by building control; electrical work certified under Part P; gas connections by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

How much does a new kitchen cost in Fulham?
£25,000 to £70,000 for a full renovation excluding VAT. Roughly half is builder's work — structural openings, moving services, floors, plastering and decoration — and half is the kitchen itself. A showroom quoting £20,000 for units and appliances is quoting for half the job; the building work is what closes the gap between that number and the final bill.
Read the full answerHow long is a kitchen out of action?
Four to eight weeks for a full renovation involving structural work, or two to three weeks for a straight replacement in the same layout. We can set up a temporary kitchen with a sink, fridge and microwave elsewhere in the house, which most clients with children find essential. Tell us at quoting stage and we will build it into the programme.
Read the full answerDo I need building regulations approval for a new kitchen?
For a like-for-like replacement, no. But you do the moment you remove a structural wall, add or move electrical circuits, alter gas pipework, or change drainage — which covers almost every open-plan kitchen project. The work is notifiable and must be certified, and it is what a buyer's solicitor asks for when you sell.
