About Kitchen Renovation

Plumbing and ventilation checks

Replace supply valves older than 10 years while walls are open. A range hood should vent outside, not into a cabinet, to remove moisture properly. Ask for the hood airflow in cubic metres per hour; a value below 250 m³/h is usually weak for daily cooking. Confirm dishwasher and fridge water lines are included.

How to verify the finished work

Check that doors and drawers align within 2 mm and close fully. Run water in the sink for 10 to 15 minutes and inspect underneath for leaks. Test every outlet with a small appliance. Keep a punch list of small defects to fix before final payment, since corrections are easier when they are written down.

Cabinet construction and box materials

Cabinet boxes come in three main types: solid plywood, MDF with a melamine skin, or particleboard. Plywood handles moisture best and lasts longer near the sink. MDF gives a smooth paint finish. Particleboard is the cheapest but sags if it gets wet. Ask the maker about the thickness of the side panels, usually 16 mm to 19 mm, and the drawer slide rating.

Plumbing, gas, and ventilation checks

Shut-off valves older than 15 years often fail during work, so replace them while the walls are open. A range hood must vent to the outside, not into the attic or a wall cavity. Dishwasher air gaps prevent sink backflow. Gas lines need a pressure test after any change. Ask for a copy of every test certificate before walls close.

What counts as a kitchen renovation

A full renovation usually replaces cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing connections, and appliances. A partial one may keep the layout and only change doors, handles, or the worktop. Ask the professional to write down which elements are included before any contract is signed. This avoids paying twice for the same item later.

Countertop options and their limits

Laminate costs less but tolerates heat poorly. Quartz and granite handle daily use well but need sealing every 1 to 2 years for granite. Solid surface can be repaired if scratched, while butcher block requires oiling every few months. Ask about the thickness in mm, seam locations, and who measures the final template.

Common problems during renovation

Cabinets arrive with the wrong dimensions, causing delays of 2 to 4 weeks. Hidden water damage behind tiles is often discovered during demolition, raising the cost. Appliances may not fit the planned openings. A written change-order process helps handle these surprises without arguing about money on the spot.

What a kitchen renovation usually covers

A kitchen renovation can mean changing cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing, or the whole layout. Some jobs stay cosmetic: paint, hardware, a new sink. Others remove walls, move gas lines, or relocate the range. Decide early if you want a refresh or a structural rebuild, because the scope changes the team you need and the permits involved.

Countertop options and their limits

Quartz resists stains and needs no sealing. Granite is hard but porous, so it asks for yearly sealing. Solid surface seams disappear but scratches easily. Butcher block feels warm but stains and marks from knives. Each material has a maximum unsupported span over dishwashers and sinks, usually 300 mm to 600 mm. Ask about that before ordering.

Common problems during renovation

Hidden water damage appears after demolition, usually behind the sink or under the dishwasher. Old wiring fails inspection, forcing a partial rewire. Cabinet lead times stretch from 4 weeks to 12 weeks when stock is low. Countertop measurements taken before the cabinets are level lead to gaps. A 10 mm tolerance on cabinet alignment prevents most fit issues.
