What Does a Full Kitchen Renovation Include?
A kitchen renovation goes far beyond replacing doors or worktops. It is a complete transformation of your kitchen — from stripping the room back to bare walls through to handing over a fully finished, ready-to-cook space. At TEMBOK, we manage every element: layout redesign, structural changes, first and second fix plumbing, electrical rewiring, plastering, cabinetry installation, worktop templating and fitting, tiling, flooring and final decoration.
Unlike kitchen showroom companies who sell you units then subcontract the installation to whoever is available, TEMBOK is a single building contractor managing every trade. This means one point of contact, one schedule, one standard of quality — and no finger-pointing between trades when something needs resolving.
We renovate kitchens of every size and style — from compact galley kitchens in terraced cottages to large open-plan kitchen-diners in family homes and luxury farmhouse kitchens in rural properties. Whether you are updating a tired kitchen or undertaking a complete structural remodel with walls removed and layouts transformed, we deliver the same meticulous project management and craftsmanship.
Our kitchen renovations across Kent are designed to be efficient, clean and minimally disruptive. We establish a clear programme of works before starting, coordinate trades to avoid downtime, and protect your home throughout the build.
Why This Matters
Why Kitchen Renovations Go Wrong — And How We Prevent It
The biggest cause of kitchen renovation failure is fragmented project management. Homeowners buy a kitchen from a showroom, hire a plumber, an electrician, a tiler and a decorator separately — then discover that nobody is coordinating the work. The plumber hasn't left space for the extractor. The electrician hasn't positioned sockets to match the kitchen layout. The tiler arrives before the plastering is dry.
The result is delays, cost overruns, finger-pointing between trades, and a finished kitchen with compromises that shouldn't exist. Worktops don't quite meet walls. Socket positions are awkward. Lighting is an afterthought.
At TEMBOK, we eliminate this problem entirely. As a single building contractor, we manage every trade from first fix to final snag. Our team knows who needs to be on-site, in what order, and to what specification. Your kitchen renovation runs to programme, to budget, and to a standard that standalone trade teams simply cannot match.
We also handle the parts of kitchen renovation that showroom companies ignore: structural alterations, building regulations compliance, drainage modifications, ventilation requirements and damp remediation. If your renovation involves removing a wall, repositioning a soil pipe or upgrading your consumer unit, it is all managed within the same project.
Our Process
Our Kitchen Renovation Process
Design Consultation & Survey
We visit your home to survey the existing kitchen, discuss your vision, assess structural possibilities and understand your budget. We then produce a detailed design and fixed-price quotation covering every element of the renovation.
Layout & Specification Sign-Off
We finalise the kitchen layout, select cabinetry, worktops, appliances, tiling, flooring and lighting. Everything is specified before we start — no decisions left to the build phase.
Strip-Out & Structural Work
The existing kitchen is stripped back. Any structural alterations — wall removals, steelwork, floor levelling, window or door repositioning — are completed and signed off.
First Fix & Installation
Plumbing, electrical and heating first fixes are completed. Cabinetry is installed, worktops templated and fitted, and appliances connected. Tiling, flooring and decoration follow in coordinated sequence.
Snagging & Handover
A thorough snagging inspection covers every detail — door alignments, drawer runners, grouting, silicone, socket function, appliance testing. You receive your 5-year workmanship guarantee on completion.

Kitchen Renovation Scope in Detail

Structural Alterations — Removing walls to create open-plan kitchen-diners, installing steelwork, widening doorways, adding bi-fold or sliding doors to gardens, and repositioning windows for better light and views. All structural work is engineered, Building Regulations compliant and signed off.
Cabinetry & Storage — From handleless contemporary units to traditional shaker-style cabinetry, we install kitchen furniture to exacting standards. Soft-close hinges, full-extension drawers, corner carousel units, integrated bins and bespoke pantry solutions.
Worktops — Granite, quartz, porcelain, solid timber, Dekton and laminate worktops templated and fitted with precision. Undermount sinks, drainer grooves, hob cut-outs and waterfall ends all cleanly executed.
Tiling & Splashbacks — Full-height tiling, splashback areas, feature walls and floor tiling in ceramic, porcelain, natural stone or glass. Precise cutting around sockets, windows and fittings for a seamless finish.
