How long does a kitchen refit take?

A standard kitchen refit typically takes 2–3 weeks. If structural changes, new plumbing runs, or electrical work are involved, allow 3–4 weeks. A simple like-for-like replacement of units and worktops can be done in 5–7 days.

Should I hire a kitchen fitter or a builder?

A kitchen fitter specialises in unit installation, worktop fitting, and finishing. A builder is needed if you are knocking down walls, moving drainage, or altering the structure. Many kitchen projects require both.

What is the best flooring for a bathroom?

Porcelain or ceramic tiles are the most durable and waterproof option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is a popular budget-friendly alternative. Avoid laminate or engineered wood in wet areas unless they are specifically rated as waterproof.

Do I need a plumber for a new kitchen?

Yes, if you are moving or adding a sink, dishwasher, or washing machine connection. Most kitchen fitters can handle basic plumbing, but moving waste pipes or hot water feeds often requires a qualified plumber.
