Kitchen and Bathroom Refurbishment in London

A kitchen or bathroom refurbishment is a self-contained project but it touches every trade in your home. We deliver full kitchens and bathrooms across London — strip-out, plumbing, electrics, tiling, plastering, joinery, installation and finishes — by our own team. No subcontract handoffs, no surprises, no leaks at the second-fix stage.

What a full kitchen refurbishment includes

Strip-out of the existing kitchen, removal of old units, plumbing and electrics. Full first-fix plumbing for sink, dishwasher, washing machine, hot and cold runs to island if relocating. Full first-fix electrics to current Part P standards by an NICEIC-registered electrician — new circuits where existing capacity is insufficient. Plastering and skim, splashback waterproofing, floor preparation. Installation of supply-only kitchens (Howdens, Magnet, Wren, B&Q, IKEA) or bespoke kitchens (Plain English, deVOL, Naked Kitchens, our own joiners). Worktop templating and installation (granite, quartz, solid wood, laminate). Appliance installation and commissioning. Tiling, painting, sealing.

What a full bathroom refurbishment includes

Strip-out, soil and waste pipe replacement where required, full retiling, tanking of wet areas, installation of bath, shower enclosure, WC, basin, towel rail, ventilation. Underfloor heating where appropriate (electric mat under tile is standard for London bathrooms). Recessed shaver sockets, mirror demister pads, lighting on a separate isolator. We work with most major UK suppliers (CP Hart, Bathroom Heaven, Wickes, Soak.com) but can also source bespoke fittings on request.

Typical timelines

A standard kitchen refurbishment runs 4 to 7 weeks. A standard bathroom runs 2 to 4 weeks. Bespoke kitchens with imported worktops can extend to 9 to 12 weeks because of supplier lead times. We coordinate all delivery dates and store materials safely off-site if required.

Why work with one contractor on a kitchen or bathroom

The two most common ways a London kitchen or bathroom goes wrong are interface issues — the plumber finishes before the tiler, the tiler sees a misaligned drain, work stops, dates slip. We control every trade in-house, so the plumber, tiler, electrician and joiner are all on the same payroll and the same daily plan. The only external supplier is the kitchen or bathroom showroom delivering the units.

Frequently asked questions

Can you supply the kitchen or do I supply it?

Either works. Most clients use a showroom for design and supply (Howdens, Magnet, deVOL) and we install. We also have our own joiners who build bespoke kitchens to spec.

How disruptive is a bathroom refurbishment?

Very. There is no plumbing in the bathroom for the duration of the strip-out and first fix (typically week 1 of a 3-week schedule). We can install a temporary shower in another room if the house has only one bathroom.

Do you guarantee the work?

Yes. KRAMAN gives a 24-month workmanship warranty on all kitchen and bathroom work. Manufacturer warranties on appliances and fittings sit on top.
