Completed in West London
Client-supplied units, fitted and finished by one team
Cost guide · Updated June 2026
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in West London?
The honest answer comes in two numbers. Our renovation work starts from £12,000 — the full strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, flooring, fitting and finishing. Units, worktops and appliances are bought separately by you, which puts a typical complete project in West London at £25,000–£45,000 all-in. Most guides blur those two numbers together — we keep them apart so there are no surprises.
Our quote covers
- Full strip-out and waste removal
- Plumbing, gas connections and pipework
- Electrics, sockets and lighting circuits
- Wall tiling, splashbacks and flooring
- Precise fitting of your units and worktop coordination
- Appliance installation, sealing and final finishing
You buy separately
- Units and cabinets — from any supplier you like
- Worktops — laminate, stone or timber
- Appliances — ovens, hob, extractor, fridge
We can help you specify and source standard ranges, and arrange 3D design visuals before work starts. One thing we don't do: manufacture custom cabinetry — we are renovators and installers, not a joinery workshop, and we'll always say so.
2026 price bands
Kitchen renovation costs, both numbers shown
Our renovation work on the left, the typical all-in project budget — including the units and appliances you buy — on the right.
| Project type | Our renovation work | Typical total incl. units & appliances |
|---|---|---|
Kitchen refurbishment, same layout | £12,000 – £20,000 | £20,000 – £32,000 |
Full renovation with layout changes | £20,000 – £35,000 | £30,000 – £50,000 |
Large or open-plan projects | £35,000+ | £50,000+ |
Totals assume mid-range units and appliances; your choices can move them in either direction. Every price for the work is confirmed in a written quote after a free site visit, reflecting 2026 West London market rates.
The honest part
What actually moves the price
Four factors explain almost every difference between bands — and only one of them is in our quote's control.
Whether the services move
Keeping the sink, hob and appliances roughly where they are is the biggest saving. Moving water, waste, gas and electrics across the room — or into an island — means re-planning first-fix work under the floor, and the price follows.
The units you choose (bought separately)
Units, worktops and appliances are not in our price — you buy them from any supplier, from IKEA and Howdens to German studios, and the spread is huge: roughly £5,000–£15,000+ for units and worktops, £2,000–£8,000 for appliances. We can help you specify and source standard ranges — we don't manufacture custom kitchens.
What the strip-out reveals
West London kitchens often sit in Victorian and Edwardian houses or older extensions — uneven floors, dated wiring that fails today's regulations and pipework that has been extended for decades. We price the known risks after the site visit, not mid-build.
Tiling, flooring and finishing scope
A splashback is a day's tiling; a full floor with levelling is another job entirely. Lighting plans, extraction and decorating round out the difference between the bottom and top of each band.

Kitchen Cost Questions, Answered
Our renovation work starts from £12,000 — that covers the full strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, flooring, fitting and finishing. Units, worktops and appliances are bought separately by you, so a typical complete kitchen project in West London lands between £25,000 and £45,000 all-in. The work is confirmed in a written quote after a site visit.
No — and we say this upfront to avoid any confusion. You choose and buy the units, worktops and appliances from any supplier you like. Our quote covers everything else: strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, flooring, fitting your units precisely, appliance installation and finishing.
No. We are renovators and installers, not cabinet makers. We fit kitchens from any supplier — IKEA, Howdens, Wren, Magnet, German brands or independent studios — and we can help you specify and source standard ranges that suit the room. If your project needs made-to-measure cabinetry, we'll tell you honestly and you can source it from a joinery workshop.
Yes. We help refine the layout around how you actually use the room, can arrange 3D design visuals before any work starts, and can help you specify and order standard unit ranges. You stay in control of the budget for units and appliances — we make sure what you order fits and works.
Most kitchen renovations take 3 to 6 weeks on site, depending on the size of the room, layout changes and the specification. Lead times on units and worktops matter too — stone worktops are templated after the units go in, which adds a short wait near the end.
More trades, more services and more surface area. A kitchen brings gas and extraction alongside water and electrics, larger floors and walls to finish, and appliance installation — which is why our kitchen work starts from £12,000 against £8,000 for bathrooms. Both follow the same process: site visit, written quote, one team to handover.
