Home Improvements · South LondonKitchen renovations in South London, built around how you actually cook
Full refits, bespoke cabinetry and open-plan kitchen-diner conversions across Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, Southwark, Peckham, Greenwich, Lambeth, Dulwich and Battersea — experienced kitchen fitters, one point of contact from first measure to final snag.
A full kitchen refit, not just new units
Every kitchen job is priced and planned as one piece of work, not a string of separate trades billing separately.
Strip-out
Old units, worktops, tiling and flooring removed and disposed of, with first fix electrics and plumbing checked before anything new goes in.
Includes
- disconnection
- removal
- waste disposal
Cabinetry & worktops
Bespoke or supplied units, fitted level and true, with worktops in your choice of stone, laminate or wood -- sized and sequenced around appliances, not the other way round.
Includes
- carcasses
- doors & handles
- worktop templating & fit
Open-plan reconfiguration
Where a kitchen is opening into a living or dining space, structural work is carried out through regulated trades with building control sign-off, sequenced so the rest of the job isn't held up.
Includes
- structural opening
- steel/RSJ where needed
- building control
Tiling, lighting & finish
Splashback and floor tiling, task and ambient lighting, and a final snag walk-through before we call it done.
Includes
- tiling
- electrics & lighting
- final clean & handover
For the detail behind each of these stages -- wiring, appliance circuits, layered lighting, plumbing and choosing between range, German and fully bespoke cabinetry -- read what really goes into a complete kitchen renovation.

Kitchen renovations near you
Based in South London and mainly working across the following areas -- get in touch even if you're just outside this list.
Bermondsey, SE1 & SE16
Warehouse conversions and period flats -- often generous ceiling heights that suit a bespoke, taller-than-standard run of units.
Rotherhithe, SE16
Riverside flats and ex-council conversions, where opening the kitchen into the living space is a common ask.
Southwark, SE1 & SE17
Everything from Victorian terraces to new-build apartments, each needing a slightly different approach to services and access.
Peckham, SE15
A mix of period conversions and newer builds, with plenty of galley kitchens that benefit from a smarter layout.
Greenwich, SE10
Conservation-area terraces where sympathetic detailing matters alongside a fully modern kitchen underneath.
Lambeth, SW2, SW4, SW9 & SE24
Dense terraced streets and flats above shops, where sequencing deliveries and access is part of the planning stage.
Dulwich, SE21 & SE22
Larger family homes, often with room for an open-plan kitchen-diner extension into the back of the property.
Battersea, SW8 & SW11
Mansion blocks and new-build riverside flats, where a bright, functional layout usually wins over a showroom look.

Kitchen renovation FAQs
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in South London?
It depends on size and spec, but as a ballpark: a compact/galley kitchen typically runs £12,000–£18,000, a standard family kitchen £18,000–£28,000, and a large or bespoke open-plan kitchen £28,000–£45,000. You'll get an exact, itemised quote after a free walkthrough.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most kitchens take 2–4 weeks from strip-out to handover, depending on scope and whether any structural or open-plan work is involved.
Can you open my kitchen into the living room?
Yes -- open-plan kitchen-diner conversions are one of our most common jobs, especially in South London flats and conversions. Any structural work goes through the appropriate regulated trades and building control sign-off.
Do you supply the kitchen units, or do I choose my own?
Either. We can design and source bespoke cabinetry for you, or fit units you've already chosen or ordered -- whichever suits your budget and timeline.
Do I need to move out during a kitchen renovation?
Not usually. Most kitchen renovations happen while you continue living in the property, though you should expect to be without a working kitchen for part of the job -- we'll talk through what to expect at planning stage.
Are you insured, and do you use qualified trades?
Yes — fully insured, City & Guilds Level 3 qualified, and we work with NICEIC-registered electricians and Gas Safe-registered plumbers for anything that needs to be signed off by a regulated trade.
