Your kitchen, or one we supply

Fit only, or supply and fit

Some customers have already chosen and bought their kitchen. Others would rather we sorted it. JonesBuild works either way.

Fit only

You’ve bought the kitchen. JonesBuild fits it, and does the work the room needs around it, from the strip-out to the decorating.

Supply and fit

JonesBuild can supply the kitchen as well as fit it, and do the same work around it. Talk it through with Steve at the site visit.

What’s involved

What a full kitchen renovation involves

A new kitchen is often more than new units. This is the work that typically goes into a full renovation, in roughly this order. Not every kitchen needs all of it.

  1. Strip-out

    The old kitchen comes out, and the room is taken back as far as it needs to go.

  2. Floors

    Where the floor needs it, it’s dug out and a new base laid, so the new kitchen sits on a sound, level floor.

  3. Plumbing and electrics

    Plumbing for the sink and kitchen is part of the job. Electrical work can be arranged as part of the job.

  4. Plastering and making good

    Walls are plastered and made good, so the new kitchen goes in against clean, flat walls.

  5. Units, worktops and sink

    The units and worktops are fitted, and the sink is set in and plumbed.

  6. Flooring and decorating

    New flooring goes down, such as herringbone or LVT, and the room is decorated, wallpaper included.

A Gloucester kitchen-diner, from strip-out to finished

JonesBuild did this one throughout: stripping out the old kitchen, digging out the floor and laying a new base, the plumbing, plastering and making good, fitting the new units and worktops, laying the herringbone floor, and the decorating, including a wallpapered feature wall.

A Gloucester galley kitchen, up to the fit

The old galley kitchen was stripped out, then the walls were plastered, made good and decorated. JonesBuild fitted the new units and worktops and a Belfast sink with its plumbing. The floor was then levelled ready for new LVT flooring, which JonesBuild laid. Any gas work was done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Opening up

Opening your kitchen into an extension or the next room

Want the kitchen to open into an extension or the room next door? On the Gloucester kitchen-diner above, JonesBuild also opened the original back wall through into the new extension.

If the wall is load-bearing, it’s structural work, and that has its own page.

Living with the work

How long will I be without a kitchen?

Honestly, it depends on what’s being done. Swapping units in a room that’s already in good shape is a very different job from one that includes the floor, the walls or opening up.

  • Expect some disruptionThere will be dust and noise, and a spell when the kitchen is out of use.
  • Talked through up frontAt the site visit, Steve can go through the order of work and how long the kitchen is likely to be out of action, so you can plan around it.
  • No guesswork on priceYou get a proper written quote once Steve has seen the room.

  4. Strip-out and preparing the room

  5. Fitting and finishing

    Units, worktops and sink go in, then the flooring and decorating, and the room is left clean and tidy.

Kitchen questions people actually ask

Straight answers, but where it depends on your house, we say so.

Will you fit a kitchen I’ve already bought?

Yes. JonesBuild fits kitchens that customers have bought themselves, and can do the work the room needs around it, from the strip-out to the decorating.

Can you supply the kitchen as well?

Yes. JonesBuild can supply the kitchen as well as fit it. Talk it through with Steve at the site visit.

Do you do the plumbing and electrics?

The plumbing for the sink and kitchen is part of the job. Electrical work can be arranged as part of the job.

Can you move or connect my gas hob or cooker?

Any gas work is done only by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If your kitchen has gas, mention it when you get in touch and Steve will talk it through with you.

Do you do the floor, walls and decorating too?

Yes. That can include digging out a floor and laying a new base where it’s needed, new flooring such as herringbone or LVT, plastering and making good, and decorating, wallpaper included.

Can you knock my kitchen through into the next room or an extension?

Yes. If the wall is load-bearing, it’s structural work: see our page on structural alterations. If you’re thinking of building out for a bigger kitchen, see house extensions.

How long will I be without a kitchen?

It depends on what’s involved, so any figure here would be a guess. Steve will go through the order of work and how long the kitchen is likely to be out of use at the site visit.

How much does a new kitchen cost?

It depends on the room, whether you’re supplying the kitchen or we are, and what else needs doing, so any figure here would be a guess. Send Steve a few photos and you’ll get a proper written quote with a start date.
