Which kitchen renovation suits you?
The kitchen units are one thing; the work around them decides the result. For each, what happens and what to look out for.
Kitchen in the same place
The new kitchen goes where the old one was. Connections largely stay; we renew tiling, electrics and the floor where needed.
- Connections largely unchanged
- New circuits for induction and oven
- Wall tiles or splashback
- Short lead time
Moving the kitchen
The kitchen moves elsewhere in the home, for example to the garden side. New supply, drainage with fall and adjusted extraction.
- New pipes and drainage
- Drainage with enough fall
- Extraction to the outside
- Floor often renewed too
Open kitchen with wall removal
A wall removed for an open kitchen and living room. A load-bearing wall needs a steel beam with a structural calculation.
- Open kitchen-diner
- Steel beam for a load-bearing wall
- Structural calculation, sometimes a permit
- Continuous floor
Kitchen island
An island with hob or sink needs connections in the floor: water, drainage and electrics, plus suitable extraction.
- Connections in the floor
- Extraction in the island or ceiling
- Enough space to walk around
- Often with a new floor
Kitchen in an extension
The kitchen moves into a new rear extension, with daylight from above and a view of the garden.
- Kitchen facing the garden
- Pipes in the new floor
- Roof lantern above the worktop
- One design for extension and kitchen
Units via us or the kitchen shop
You can buy the kitchen yourself and have us install it, or have the units supplied through us. Either way we do the building work.
- Installation of your own kitchen
- Or supply through us
- Building work by one team
- Clear agreements on connections
Kitchens in every type of home
The home partly decides what is possible. This is what we see most in the Randstad.
Pre-war buildings
Often a separate kitchen at the back. An open kitchen here usually means removing a load-bearing wall, with a steel beam.
1930s homes
A narrow kitchen with a later extension. Demolishing and rebuilding with a bigger extension often gives a spacious kitchen-diner.
Post-war terraced houses
A simple floor plan where the kitchen moves easily. An open kitchen at the garden side is the classic.
Apartments
Drainage and extraction are tied to shared shafts. Moving the kitchen is possible, within what the building allows.
Where a kitchen renovation goes wrong
A kitchen is installed in a day, but the work around it decides whether everything works. This is what we see most.
Too few circuits for induction, oven and dishwasher.
We extend the consumer unit to match what the appliances need.
Drainage without enough fall, causing blockages.
We lay the drain with fall and the right diameter, also for an island.
A wall removed without a structural calculation.
We always have it calculated and fit the steel beam as advised.
Installing the kitchen before floor and walls are ready.
We plan floor, plastering and connections first, then installation.
Extraction that doesn't vent outside.
We plan an outside vent or suitable recirculation, with enough fresh air.

The engineering behind a good kitchen
Installing a kitchen is more than hanging a few cabinets. The connections, the extraction and the order of work decide whether it will work exactly as you want.
The services first, then the kitchen
Water, waste and electrics all have to be right before the kitchen goes in. If you move the cooking island or the sink, we run new pipework first. Adjusting it afterwards means partly dismantling a kitchen that has already been fitted.
Power for induction and the oven
Induction and a separate oven often call for a heavy-current supply and a dedicated circuit in the consumer unit. We check whether your consumer unit can handle that and extend it where needed, to the NEN 1010 standard. That way you avoid a tripping fuse every time you cook.
Extraction: ducted or recirculating
Ducting to the outside works best against grease and moisture, but it is not possible everywhere. Recirculation with a good carbon filter is then the alternative. We look at each home to see what is possible and how it can be concealed most neatly.
Common mistakes
- Not checking the consumer unit, so there is no heavy-current supply for the induction hob or oven.
- Treating the extraction as an afterthought, leaving you with a greasy kitchen and misted-up windows.
- Not renewing the pipework while it is open anyway, then having to break things open again later.
