Kitchen Renovations in London & the South East
Design-led kitchen renovations delivered end-to-end — from strip-out and structural works to bespoke joinery, appliances and tiling.
Haarth designs, supplies and installs bespoke kitchen renovations across London and the South East. Every project is delivered by experienced in-house builders under a single project manager, with a fixed quote, guaranteed workmanship and typical completion in 3–6 weeks.
What a full kitchen renovation involves
A full kitchen renovation is far more than swapping units. Haarth manages every trade needed to reconfigure, rewire and refit your space — from the initial survey and 3D design through to final commissioning of appliances. Our teams handle strip-out, structural alterations, plumbing, electrics, plastering, flooring, tiling, joinery and decoration in a single, coordinated programme.
Because we self-deliver, you get one point of contact and one accountable programme rather than juggling multiple sub-contractors. That's why homeowners across London, Essex and the South East come to us for kitchens that need to look outstanding and work faultlessly for the next 15–20 years.

Design, materials and appliances
Every Haarth kitchen starts with a free measured survey and a design conversation about how you actually use the space. We produce fully rendered plans and elevations so you can see the finished room before a single unit is ordered. You choose the level of specification — from quality trade brands to premium bespoke cabinetmakers, and from laminate through solid timber to stone and porcelain worktops.
We're independent of any single supplier, so recommendations are based on what actually performs in the space and the budget you've set — not on trade rebates.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in London?
A straightforward kitchen refit in London typically costs £8,000–£15,000, a mid-range full renovation £18,000–£35,000, and a bespoke or open-plan kitchen £40,000 or more. Haarth provides a fixed written quote after a free on-site survey so there are no surprises.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most kitchen renovations take 3–6 weeks on site once materials are on order. Larger open-plan or extension projects can run 8–12 weeks. We publish a written programme before starting so you always know the schedule.
Do you supply the kitchen or do I buy it myself?
Both options are available. Many clients ask us to supply and fit the entire kitchen for a single fixed price, but we're equally happy fitting units you've bought elsewhere.
Do I need planning permission for a kitchen renovation?
A like-for-like refit needs no permission. Removing internal walls, moving soil pipes or extending the property will usually need Building Regulations sign-off and sometimes planning. We handle the paperwork on your behalf.
Are you insured and accredited?
Yes. Haarth Ltd is CHAS accredited, fully insured for public liability, and every renovation includes a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
