Kitchen Remodeller & Construction Company Wakefield

A full remodel that involves knocking through a wall, extending into the garden, or moving the sink, hob and drainage to a new position isn't the same job as swapping units on a like-for-like footprint, and it needs a company set up to run the building work and the kitchen fit as one project rather than two separate ones handed over midway through. Premium Kitchens of Wakefield has designed, supplied and fitted bespoke kitchens for homeowners across Wakefield and West Yorkshire for more than 20 years, and this side of the business covers the heavier end of that work: structural alterations, planning and building control submissions, and a finished kitchen fitted by the same in-house team that took the wall down in the first place. What follows sets out what's included in that construction-and-fit service, how a project actually runs from the first home visit through to the final walkthrough, how it compares to booking a builder and a kitchen fitter as separate contracts, and what areas of Wakefield and West Yorkshire the team covers. It's worth being clear early on about what sits inside this service and what sits outside it, because construction means different things to different companies. Here it means the building work needed to get a kitchen into a space it can't currently fit into - a wall coming down, an RSJ going up, an extension shell being built, gas and electrical supplies being relocated, and the planning or building control paperwork that comes with any of that. It doesn't mean general house building, loft conversions unrelated to the kitchen, or interior design work beyond the kitchen itself, such as lighting schemes or furniture selection in other rooms, which is why those are called out separately further down the page rather than left ambiguous. The pages that follow cover the same ground in more depth: what's included and excluded, how pricing is worked out, how a project is sequenced from the first visit to the final walkthrough, how it stacks up against booking a builder and a fitter separately, and the answers to the questions homeowners in Wakefield and West Yorkshire most often ask before committing to a structural kitchen project.

• Safe removal and disposal of your existing kitchen, including old units, worktops and flooring where needed
• Structural work such as load-bearing wall removal, RSJ installation and single-storey rear extensions
• Relocating plumbing, gas and electrical supplies to suit the new layout
• Planning applications and building regulation submissions, with inspections booked and managed on your behalf
• Bespoke or German-style cabinetry, plus quartz, granite or Dekton worktop templating and fitting
• Appliance installation and connection, tiling, plastering and final decoration
• Daily site management and clean-up so trades aren't overlapping or leaving the site in a state

• Full interior design beyond the kitchen itself - lighting schemes, window treatments and furniture selection are referred to trusted local designers rather than handled in-house
• Appliance and worktop material costs, which vary by brand and specification and are itemised separately in your written quotation
• Structural issues only found once strip-out begins, such as unexpected problems behind old units - this is priced as a written variation before work continues, not folded into the original quote
• Furniture, soft furnishings or decorating outside the kitchen and immediate work area

1. Mobile showroom consultation -- A design consultant brings samples, catalogues and CAD software to your home rather than asking you to visit multiple showrooms, and shows you a 3D visual of the finished layout before anything is agreed.
2. Design and written quotation -- Once layout, cabinetry and worktop choices are settled, you receive a detailed written quotation covering every stage of the job, so there are no surprise costs once work starts.
3. Planning and building control -- Where an extension, load-bearing wall removal or other structural work is involved, planning applications and building regulation submissions are prepared and inspections booked before a strip-out date is confirmed.
4. Strip-out and structural work, built to the finished plan -- The existing kitchen is removed and taken off site under the company's registered waste carrier licence, then structural work - RSJ installation, an extension shell, moved gas and electrical supplies - is completed and signed off by building control before cabinetry is ordered to final sizes, so nothing has to be resized or reworked once the shell is up.
5. Installation in build order, not all at once -- Trades follow the sequence a construction site actually needs rather than turning up together: first-fix plumbing and wiring goes in before plastering, plaster is left to dry properly before tiling starts, and worktop templating is only booked once the cabinets are fixed and level, with the project manager on site to keep that order running to schedule.
6. Final fit and sign-off -- Appliances are connected and tested, worktops are fitted, decoration is finished, and the site is cleaned before you walk through the completed kitchen together, covered by the 5-year labour and installation guarantee and 2-year product guarantee.

A straight unit swap on an existing footprint can often be quoted from a floor plan and a set of photos, but a job that involves a wall coming out, a single-storey extension, or moving gas, waste and electrical supplies to a new position can't honestly be priced that way, because the final figure depends on things a floor plan doesn't show: what's actually behind the plaster on the wall being removed, whether the ground under a proposed extension needs extra foundation work, and how far pipework and cabling have to be run to reach their new positions. That's why the written quotation given after the home consultation is worked out from what the design consultant and, where structural work is involved, the wider project team actually see and measure on site, not from a generic price list. Cabinetry, worktop material (quartz, granite, Dekton, laminate and the rest each cost differently), appliances and the scale of any structural work are the biggest variables, and each of those is itemised separately in the quotation rather than folded into one lump sum, so it's clear what's being paid for and why. Where a job includes planning applications or building regulation submissions, the fees those involve are also set out up front rather than surfacing partway through. If something is only found once strip-out begins - a section of wall that turns out not to be what the original survey assumed, for instance - that's priced as a written variation and agreed with you before work continues, not added to the bill afterwards without warning. Nothing is booked in and no tools come through the door until that full written quotation has been given and agreed, and the home consultation that produces it doesn't cost anything or commit you to anything. The same principle applies to smaller elements that sometimes get missed off a structural quote altogether, such as making good the decoration around a new opening, tiling either side of a relocated splashback, or spraying existing woodwork to match a new colour scheme rather than replacing it outright - each is priced as its own line rather than assumed to be covered by a neighbouring trade's figure. Where a project runs alongside other work in the house, such as replacing external uPVC doors or windows near the kitchen, that's quoted as a separate addition rather than blended into the kitchen figure, so it's always clear what the kitchen and construction work itself actually costs.

Because the design consultation happens in your kitchen rather than in a showroom, the person drawing up the layout is standing in the room that's about to be opened up or extended, measuring the actual walls, doorways and roof void rather than working from a floor plan handed over secondhand. That matters more on a structural job than it does on a straight refit: a socket position, a beam height or a doorway width that looks fine on paper can turn out wrong once you're standing in the space, and catching that at the home consultation - before a strip-out date, an RSJ order or a planning submission goes in - costs nothing to fix. It costs real money and delay to fix once building control has already signed off the steelwork. Layout, cabinetry and worktop choices are agreed on that same visit and carried through by one project manager for the rest of the job, so the structural work that follows is built around a kitchen plan that's already settled, rather than a kitchen squeezed into whatever the building work happens to leave behind. Every trade working on the job holds the qualification for what they're doing - joiners are City & Guilds trained, plumbers hold NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds certification, electricians are Part P-registered and any new gas appliance is commissioned by a Gas Safe engineer - and the company holds its own registered waste carrier licence and is a member of both the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses. None of that costs anything to check before you commit: the home consultation and the written quotation that follows it are both free, and are given before any tools come through the door. The same home-first approach carries through to the final walkthrough. Because one office booked the planning submission, the structural work and the kitchen fit, there's a single point of contact to walk the finished job with rather than a builder who's already moved on to the next site and a fitter who only ever saw the space after the walls were already up. Snagging, if there is any, goes to the same project manager who agreed the original layout, not to whichever trade happens to still answer the phone. For a homeowner, the practical effect of that structure is fewer gaps for something to fall into: no argument between a builder and a fitter about whose figure a delay sits under, no chasing a subcontractor who's already started their next job, and one written record of what was agreed rather than a set of separate verbal understandings with different people.

The team is based at 33A Woodville Way in Knottingley and works throughout the Wakefield district and the wider West Riding, with projects regularly completed in Castleford, Featherstone, Normanton, Pontefract, Ossett, Crofton, Walton, Outwood, Stanley, Hemsworth, South Kirkby and Altofts. Property type shapes the job as much as location: Victorian terraces around Wakefield city centre and Sandal often have outdated utilities and unusual room dimensions that need bespoke cabinetry rather than standard units, while 1960s and 1970s houses around Castleford and Pontefract more commonly need a load-bearing wall removed and an RSJ fitted to open up a cramped original layout. In rural spots around Clayton West, boot rooms and utility integration come up more often as part of an extension. Because the mobile showroom comes to you rather than the other way round, none of this depends on being near a fixed showroom location.

If your project involves more than swapping units on the same footprint - a wall coming out, an extension, or plumbing, gas and electrics moving to a new position - the next useful step is a home consultation rather than a phone estimate. A design consultant will come to your property with samples, catalogues and CAD software, take proper measurements of the room being altered, and talk through what planning or building control involvement your particular project needs. You'll be shown a 3D visual of the proposed layout before anything is agreed, and a full written quotation follows, itemising cabinetry, worktops, appliances and any structural work separately so there's nothing hidden in a single lump-sum figure. The consultation itself is free and carries no obligation to book anything, and it's available anywhere across Wakefield, Castleford, Knottingley, Featherstone, Normanton, Pontefract, Ossett, Crofton, Walton, Outwood, Stanley, Hemsworth, South Kirkby and Altofts. There's no requirement to already have a finished design in mind before booking a visit - plenty of homeowners start with nothing more than a rough idea that the current layout doesn't work, a wall that seems to be in the wrong place, or a garden that could take a single-storey extension, and the consultation is where that gets turned into an actual workable plan rather than something you're expected to arrive with. Bring along whatever you already have, whether that's a builder's estimate from elsewhere, a set of measurements, or simply photographs of a kitchen style you like, and the consultant will work from that alongside their own measurements of the room. There's no pressure to book anything on the day the consultation happens, and no charge if you decide not to proceed.
