Kitchen Refurbishment in Guildford
A kitchen is the room you use the most, so it pays to get it right. At Tanner Construction we handle kitchen refurbishment across Guildford and the surrounding area, from a tidy update of an existing layout to a full refit where we change the room around completely. We take care of everything, including the design, the units, the plumbing, the electrics, the plastering, the tiling, the worktops, the flooring and the lighting. If you already have your kitchen on order from a supplier, we are happy to do a fit-only job and install it properly for you.
What sets us apart is that we do the whole job in house with one team. There is no need to chase a separate plumber, electrician, tiler and plasterer and hope they all turn up in the right order. We manage the project from groundwork to decorating, so the trades follow on cleanly and the work is done to building regulations. You deal with the same people from the first visit through to the day we hand the kitchen back, which keeps things simple and keeps the standard high.
What a Kitchen Refurbishment Can Include
Every kitchen is different, so we start by looking at how you use the space and what you want to change. Some clients want a fresh look without moving anything, while others want a full renovation with a new layout, a knocked-through wall or a proper kitchen-diner. Whatever the scale of the job, here are the parts we regularly take care of for homes around Guildford.
- Design help and a clear plan for the new layout and where everything goes
- Supply and fit of units, doors and handles, or a fit-only service if you have already bought your kitchen
- All the plumbing for sinks, taps, dishwashers and washing machines
- Electrics including sockets, appliance connections, extractors and new lighting
- Plastering, tiling and splashbacks to a clean, square finish
- Worktops in laminate, solid wood, quartz or stone, cut and fitted on site
- New flooring laid level and finished off neatly against the units
The Quality of the Finish
A kitchen lives or dies on the small details, so we take care over the parts you notice every day. Doors line up, gaps are even, tiles are level and the worktops sit flush with no rough edges. Because the same team handles each stage, the plumbing and electrics are planned around the units before anything goes in, which means no awkward boxing-in or wires left on show.
We keep the site as clean and tidy as we can while the work is going on, and we run the electrics and gas connections so they are safe and signed off correctly. When we finish, the kitchen is ready to use, the decorating is done and the room is left clean. We would rather take the time to get it right than rush a job and leave you with snags to chase later.
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
Most kitchen refurbishments inside the existing footprint of the house do not need planning permission, so a like-for-like refit or a new layout in the same room is usually straightforward. If your project involves removing a load-bearing wall, an extension or a change to the drainage, building regulations will apply and some work may need sign-off. We will tell you early on what is needed, sort the structural calculations and notifications where required, and make sure the finished kitchen meets the regulations so there are no problems down the line.
