Bath Kitchen Renovation: Essential Checklist for Homeowners

You're at the right place if you're planning a kitchen fitting service in Bath and want to know exactly what goes on at each stage. For the majority of Bath households, whether you live in a modern flat in the Keynsham or a Victorian terraced house in Saltford, this procedure is fairly accurate.

Taking out the old kitchen

Before removing the old units (cabinets, worktops, and appliances) and stripping all tiling and/or flooring, the team will arrive and begin by turning off all electricity and water supplies. This will prepare us for the preparatory phase.

Before the aforementioned phase starts, it is advisable for homeowners to take the following actions:

-empty every cabinet.

- create a makeshift kitchen in a different location.

- take delicate objects out of rooms that will be needed to enter the kitchen.

Prepare by first repairing the electrical and plumbing

The hired crew will install new electrical wiring for all new outlets, lights, and kitchen appliances during the initial repair. If needed, plumbing for the sink and dishwasher will be upgraded or moved. Before moving it or modifying it to fit the new kitchen layout, the gas supply will be inspected. The sub-base for the floor will then be laid after the walls have been repaired and plastered!

Fitters should adhere to these guidelines, particularly in older properties:

- How old is the wiring?

- Are they even floors?

- Does the new kitchen setup have enough power?

It's advisable for homeowners to make sure:

- location of the appliance

- Accept any layout modifications.

- lighting position

Every unit is installed.

Now the kitchen is nearing the finished product. After constructing and levelling the base units, our installer will secure all wall cabinets to the masonry or existing studs, install the taller units for the refrigerator or oven (if necessary), make room for the other appliances, and make sure everything is level.

Many times, homeowners like to inspect their homes to make sure they are satisfied with the door openings, unit heights, and distances between units.

Installing worktops, sinks, and all appliances

After the cabinets are in place, the installers will start working on some of the most crucial parts, such as cutting and repairing all worktops (which are frequently done using templates beforehand), installing the sink and taps, and setting up the appliances (oven, hobs, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer).

Flooring and Tiling

Nicely finished wall tiles, splashbacks, sealant, and trims will be used by the hardworking crew to bring everything together. Also, the proper flooring—typically laminate or vinyl—will be installed.

Verify the grout color and tile arrangement with your installer. If there is underfloor heating, now is the ideal time to test it.

Decorations and the finishing touch

All of the lighting, socket and switch installations, appliance testing, sink plumbing completion, gas hob testing and certification, cabinet handle installation, and painting completion are the last fixes and finishing touches. Finally, for your convenience, a general cleanup and waste removal are planned.

How much time does it take to complete the renovation?

A straight-swap kitchen typically takes a working week in Bath with a regular-sized staff. Projects involving structural modifications typically take three working weeks, while kitchens that need to be moved or rewired typically take two weeks.
