Understanding the Preparation Process

Installing a new kitchen is an exciting project, but proper preparation is essential to ensure a smooth and successful outcome. At [Your Company Name], we specialize in preparing homes for Howdens and Wren Kitchen installations, covering every aspect from electrical and plumbing adjustments to floor leveling and more.

Steps to Prepare Your Home:

1. Kitchen Cabinet Removal Service (including electrical items removal): £600

Before your new kitchen can be installed, the old one must be safely removed. Our team will dismantle and dispose of your old kitchen units and appliances, ensuring electrical items are handled according to safety regulations.

2. Skip Hire: £260

We provide a skip for the removal of all kitchen waste, ensuring your home remains clean and organized throughout the process. The skip stays until the installation is completed, allowing for efficient disposal of all debris and packaging.

3. Removal of Floor Tiles and Splash Backs: £250

Preparing for your new kitchen often involves removing old floor tiles and splash backs. Our skilled technicians will carefully remove these materials to create a smooth, even surface for your new installation.

A level floor is crucial for the proper installation of your new kitchen units. We assess and level the floor using high-quality screed to ensure a stable foundation that prevents issues with your new kitchen.

We handle all electrical aspects, from installing new sockets to relocating wiring as per the layout provided by Howdens or Wren Kitchens. This preparation ensures your kitchen is ready for appliances and lighting fixtures.

7. Plastering and Wall Repair (estimated around £400) Plastering the kitchen walls ensures a smooth and even surface, providing an ideal foundation for cabinets and appliances to be installed securely. This essential step not only enhances the overall appearance but also prepares the space for a seamless kitchen fitting



7. Painting and Decorating: £400 (including contract white paint and preparation, including woodwork)

To give your new kitchen a fresh, finished look, we offer professional painting and decorating services. We prepare the walls and woodwork, ensuring a clean and inviting space for your new kitchen.
