What we do?

What’s included in a kitchen renovation

Here is what most kitchen projects include.

  • Design and layout planning

  • Kitchen plumbing and electrics
  • Ventilation planning and extractor fitting
  • Units, worktops, sink, tap, and appliance fitting
  • Splashbacks and tiling
  • Finishing and decorating
  • Waste removal and final snagging

Refurbishment is a refresh. Renovation is a full replacement. Remodelling usually changes the layout and services.

Kitchen Renovation Services We Deliver

Planning and layout

We plan around how you cook and move. We look at:

  • Prep space
  • Hob and sink positions
  • Fridge location
  • Storage zones
  • Bin and recycling space
  • Lighting zones

We also check what can realistically be moved, based on services and structure.

Strip out and preparation

We remove old units and make the area ready for first fix works. We plan waste removal in advance. In many London streets, this is the difference between a smooth job and delays.


Plumbing for kitchens

Kitchen plumbing often covers:

  • Sink and waste
  • Dishwasher and washing machine feeds
  • Isolation valves
  • Pipe runs that match the new layout

If the layout changes, plumbing usually changes. We explain what is needed and why.

Electrics and lighting

Kitchens need safe circuits, safe connections, and sensible lighting. Many older homes around areas like Maida Vale or Stoke Newington have dated wiring routes and limited sockets. Electrical safety in dwellings is covered by Approved Document P, which gives guidance on meeting Part requirements. We plan:

  • Socket positions for real use
  • Appliance points
  • Under cabinet lighting where needed
  • Ceiling lighting layout
  • Switch locations that make sense

Ventilation and extraction

Poor extraction leads to moisture, smells, and mould. This is common in internal kitchens in flats near the City, and in conversions around Clapham and Camden. Planning Portal guidance on kitchen and bathroom ventilation notes that new kitchens should have extract ventilation to reduce condensation and remove smells. We look at:

  • Best extractor position
  • Duct route where possible
  • Alternatives where external ducting is limited
  • Noise and neighbour impact in flats

Units, worktops, and fitting

We fit kitchen units and worktops with attention to levels and alignment. London homes can have uneven walls and floors. We allow for that in planning, so the final finish looks right. Worktops often drive the look and the price. We help you choose based on use, heat resistance, and upkeep.


Splashbacks and tiling

Splashbacks protect walls and finish the space. We plan the heights and edges around sockets and fittings.


Finishing and snagging

A kitchen should feel finished. We complete sealing, finishing, and checks. Then we do snagging and a handover walk through.

Your Project in the best hands

Safety, standards, and assurance

We take safety and checks seriously because kitchens combine water, electricity, heat, and heavy use.
You can expect:

  • A written estimate and staged plan
  • Qualified trades for electrical and gas related work where needed
  • A final snagging checklist
  • Workmanship assurance and aftercare

Common kitchen problems we fix

  • Not enough storage and cluttered worktops due to poor cabinet layout
  • Weak lighting over prep areas caused by a single ceiling light plan
  • Cooking smells and condensation from poor extractor setup or blocked airflow
  • Unsafe or awkward socket locations due to outdated kitchen electrics
  • Leaks under the sink from worn fittings or poor pipe connections
  • Damaged worktops and splashbacks from heat, water, or age
  • Layout that slows you down because the sink, hob, and fridge sit too far apart

Soraiz Builders & Services has worked across London for 28 years, delivering renovations that hold up in busy family homes and compact flats.

Kitchen refurbishment

This suits you if the layout works and the kitchen is usable, but it looks tired. Common refurb work includes:

  • New worktop and splashback
  • New sink and tap
  • New cabinet doors and handles
  • New lighting upgrades
  • Repaint and refresh finishes

A refurb is often faster and lower cost than a full rip out.

Full kitchen renovation

This suits you if the kitchen is dated, damaged, or poorly planned. A full renovation often includes:

  • Full strip out
  • New units and worktops
  • New lighting plan and new socket locations
  • Plumbing changes for sink and appliances
  • Better ventilation
  • New finishes

Kitchen remodelling work

This suits you if you want a new layout and better workflow. Remodelling can include:

  • Moving the sink or hob position
  • Changing where appliances sit
  • Improving storage zones
  • Better lighting and ventilation planning

Layout changes are where budgets can move. We explain the possible options before work starts.

Small or flat kitchens

London flats bring extra constraints. You might have strict building rules, shared halls, and limited storage. Many kitchens also have weak extraction. We plan the work around access, noise, and building management.

  • Smarter cabinet layouts to increase usable storage
  • Compact appliance planning to free worktop space
  • Improved ventilation where external ducting is limited

Why London homeowners choose Soraiz Builders

You need more than a nice paragraph. You need a team that can run the job well.

Clear scope and clear quotes

You get a written scope that matches your home. You also get a quote you can read and check. It reduces surprises.

Proper sequencing

A kitchen job has a set order. If it is rushed, mistakes happen. We plan each stage, then sign off before moving on.

Practical site control

We protect floors and access routes. We plan deliveries. We plan waste removal. This matters on streets with permits and short bays, from Kensington high streets to residential roads in Walthamstow.

Kitchen focused knowledge

Kitchens have higher loads, more moisture, and more safety risks than many rooms. Good ventilation, safe electrics, and good sealing are not optional. Approved guidance for home ventilation highlights the need for extract ventilation in rooms like kitchens to reduce pollutants and moisture.

Planning permission and building rules

Most kitchen refits do not need planning permission unless the work is part of an extension or other major change. Planning Portal guidance says a planning application for a kitchen is generally not required unless it forms part of an extension, and listed buildings may need consent.

Building regulations can apply to parts of the work,… Read more

such as electrics or drainage. Planning Portal notes that a kitchen refit does not generally need building regulations approval, but related drainage or electrical works may need approval.

If you have gas appliances, only a registered engineer can do that work. The Health and Safety Executive explains that gas work in scope of the Gas Safety regulations must be done by a business on the Gas Safe Register. We can also explain what applies to your kitchen during the site visit.

Our Kitchen Renovation Process

Site visit and measurements

We visit your home, measure properly, and discuss your goals. This matters near busy roads like the Euston Road or the A23 where loading is harder.

Layout and selections

We confirm the layout, appliance plan, and key choices. If you are still deciding, we can guide you through options that match your budget.

Written quote and schedule

You receive a clear quote and a realistic schedule. If something is unknown until strip out, we state it upfront.

Protection and preparation

We protect floors, stairs, and access routes. In flats, we also plan how communal areas stay clean.

Strip out and first fix works

We remove the old kitchen, then complete early stage plumbing, electrics, and ventilation routes.

Installation

We install units, then worktops, then appliances and fixtures. We keep checks at each stage.

Finishing

We complete tiling, sealing, painting, and final details handover.

Snagging and handover

Then we walk the kitchen with you. We list snag items and close them out.

London specific planning that protects your timeline

Kitchens in London fail on logistics more than skill. We plan around the real blockers.

Refurbishment is a refresh of surfaces and fittings. Renovation is a full replacement of the kitchen. Remodelling changes the layout.

It depends on scope. A refresh can be short. A full replacement takes longer. A layout change takes the longest. We give a schedule after a site visit.
