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.
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.
Custom-built cabinets cost more than flat-pack but fit unusual spaces better. Stone fabrication, plumbing relocation, and electrical upgrades each add visible amounts. Removal of old materials and disposal fees can also raise the total. Request a line-item quote so each charge can be reviewed before approval.
Keeping plumbing and gas connections in their original position saves significant labour. Moving a sink across the room can add several days of pipework and wall repair. Electrical relocations for ovens or dishwashers also raise the total. Confirm the layout in writing before signing, because changes after this point usually cost extra.
A kitchen needs three lighting layers: ambient ceiling fixtures, task lights under the cabinets, and accent lights on a toe kick or inside glass cabinets. Plan circuits so the microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher each sit on a dedicated breaker. Add USB outlets near prep zones and check that every switch sits where wet hands can still reach it.
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.
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.
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.
Planning and quotes usually take 2 to 4 weeks. Demolition needs 1 to 3 days. Rough plumbing and electrical run 3 to 5 days. Inspection and wall closure add another week. Cabinet installation often takes 1 to 2 weeks. Countertop measuring, fabrication, and fitting need 10 to 15 working days. Flooring and final finishes can stretch the project by 1 to 2 more weeks.
Plan at least 3 circuits: ambient ceiling lights, task lighting under cabinets, and appliance outlets. LED strips with 3000K to 4000K colour temperature suit most kitchens. Ask how many sockets will be added and where, since extension cords across work areas are a safety risk. Confirm breaker capacity with the professional.
