Kitchen Renovation Leeds
Free Consultation
01924-943275
Renovating a kitchen is one of the few home projects where the finished result gets used three times a day, so it is worth getting the layout, the materials and the trades right rather than working around each other's mistakes for the next fifteen years. We design, build and fit complete kitchen renovations for homes in Leeds and the towns along the Wakefield border, with one in-house team handling everything from the first sketch to the final socket test, rather than splitting the job between a showroom, a fitter and whichever electrician happens to be free that week.If your kitchen already works but the doors and worktop have had enough, a spray respray is usually the cheaper route in, and it's worth discussing at the same free consultation before assuming a full strip-out is the only option.
What's Included in Your Leeds Kitchen Renovation Quote
- A design consultation and 3D layout plan carried out in your home via our mobile showroom, so you can see materials in your own lighting before committing
- Removal and disposal of your old kitchen under our registered waste carrier licence
- Structural work such as load-bearing wall removal, steel beam installation and the building control sign-off that goes with it
- Electrical work - new circuits, sockets and lighting - installed and safety-certified by Part P-registered electricians
- Plumbing relocation and connection of sinks, taps, dishwashers and washing machines by NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds qualified plumbers
- Gas hob or range cooker installation and commissioning by Gas Safe registered engineers, where the renovation includes a gas appliance
- Bespoke cabinetry and joinery built by City & Guilds-qualified cabinetmakers, plus worktop templating and fitting
- Decoration and a final clean before handover, coordinated by one project manager who stays your single point of contact throughout
- A 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on products, confirmed in writing before work starts
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Leeds City Council's planning application and building control fees are paid directly to the council and sit outside the renovation quote
- Structural engineer's calculations, where building control requires them for wall removal or beam installation, are arranged as part of the project but costed as a separate line
- New appliances (ovens, hobs, fridges) are quoted for supply based on the make and model you choose - we're also happy to fit appliances you've already bought
- Work beyond the kitchen footprint, such as a full extension build, is scoped and quoted as its own project once the kitchen design is agreed
- Additional site waste from associated building work, an extension for example, is priced at the site visit rather than covered by the standard old-kitchen removal
How a Leeds Kitchen Renovation Runs From First Visit to Handover
- Free home design consultation: We measure your existing kitchen on site, talk through layout options and bring sample materials from the mobile showroom so you can see cabinet colours and worktop finishes in your own lighting rather than under showroom spotlights.
- Structural check and written quotation: Where the design involves removing a wall or fitting a steel beam, we arrange the structural engineer's calculations needed for building control sign-off, then put the whole job - labour, materials, guarantee terms - into a written quotation before anything is booked in.
- Strip-out and waste removal: Old units, worktop and any redundant flooring come out first and leave site under our registered waste carrier licence, so nothing ends up dumped or left for you to arrange separately.
- First-fix electrics, plumbing and structural work: New circuits, sockets and lighting are run by a Part P-registered electrician, pipework is moved by an NVQ-qualified plumber, and any steel beam or wall removal is completed and signed off, all before a single cabinet goes in.
- Cabinetry, worktop templating and fitting: Bespoke units are built and fitted by City & Guilds-qualified cabinetmakers, then the worktop is laser-templated once the cabinets are in place and cut and fitted a few days later so the fit is exact rather than measured off a drawing.
- Decoration, appliance commissioning and sign-off: Any gas hob or range cooker is commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer, decoration and final clean are finished, and the project manager walks the kitchen through with you before handing over the guarantee paperwork.
What Drives the Cost of a Leeds Kitchen Renovation
Two renovations in a similarly sized kitchen can end up a long way apart in price, and the difference usually comes down to three things: how much structural work is involved (a straight swap costs far less than removing a load-bearing wall and fitting a steel beam), the worktop and cabinet materials you choose (laminate and painted Shaker sit at one end, book-matched quartz or natural granite with waterfall edges at the other), and how much of the electrical and plumbing has to be moved rather than simply reconnected. A wrap or respray of your existing cabinet doors is a genuinely cheaper route if the carcasses underneath are sound and the layout still works for your family, and it's worth asking about before assuming a full renovation is the only option. None of this can be priced accurately over the phone; the free home consultation and written quotation exist so you get a figure based on your actual kitchen and property, not a generic estimate.
In-House Renovation Team vs Showroom Supplier vs General Builder
| Premium Kitchens of Wakefield | Showroom-only kitchen supplier | General builder, no in-house kitchen trades | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design through to final fit | One team, one project manager, start to finish | Sells the units; fitting is often referred out | Fits what you design yourself or bring a separate designer in for |
| Structural work (wall removal, extensions) | Handled in-house, with building control liaison and steel beam installation | Not offered | Available, but means booking and coordinating separate trades yourself |
| Gas and electrical work | Gas Safe registered engineers and Part P-registered electricians on the same team | Subcontracted, standards vary by fitter | Subcontracted, standards vary by fitter |
| Old kitchen removal | Included, taken away under our registered waste carrier licence | Rarely included | Usually a separate skip hire cost |
| Guarantee | 5 years on labour and installation, 2 years on products | Varies by supplier; fitting often isn't covered at all | Depends on the individual tradesperson |

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to our old kitchen once it's ripped out?
It's removed and disposed of legally as part of the job - we hold a registered waste carrier licence, so old units, worktops and packaging leave the site properly rather than being left for you to skip or take to the tip yourself. It's built into the renovation from the demolition stage onward, not billed as a separate clearance job.
Who fits gas hobs and range cookers, and is that covered by a qualified engineer?
Yes. Any gas hob or range cooker is installed and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer, separately from the general electrical work. Lighting, power and any ambient wiring for a renovation is handled and safety-certified by Part P-registered electricians, so both the gas and electrical sides of the kitchen are signed off by the right qualified trade rather than a general fitter doing everything.
Do we get a fixed price before work starts, or is the cost confirmed as the job goes along?
A fixed price. After the free home consultation, where the room is measured and materials discussed, you're given a written quotation before any tools come through the door. That figure holds unless you request changes once the job is under way - it isn't an estimate that moves as the renovation progresses.
