Kitchen Renovations And Kitchen Installations in Edinburgh
We deliver fully managed kitchen renovations in Edinburgh, from straightforward kitchen replacements to layout-changing refurbishments that involve joinery, building work and services coordination. If you’re upgrading a kitchen in a flat, tenement, townhouse or modern home, we keep the process clear: defined scope, organised trades, and a finish that looks right when the dust settles.
Many kitchen projects sit alongside wider renovation work. If your kitchen forms part of a larger upgrade, see our flat renovations & full property refurbishments in Edinburgh page for the bigger-picture approach.
What we handle within a kitchen renovation
Our kitchen work is joinery-led and renovation-aware, which means we don’t just “fit a kitchen” — we plan the build details around your space, the services, and the finish. Typical scope includes:
- Kitchen removal, preparation work and making-good
- Layout changes, partition adjustments and internal alterations
- Joinery, boxing-in, trims, scribing and clean finishing details
- Floor prep and coordination around new finishes
- Installation management and trade scheduling
Open-plan kitchens and structural work
If your kitchen renovation involves opening up the layout (for example removing a wall between kitchen and living space), we regularly deliver structural alterations and wall removals with the right sequencing, support and finishing. This is often the difference between “open-plan” that feels effortless, and open-plan that looks like a compromise.
Joinery, carpentry and the finishing stage
Kitchens live or die by the details: lines, edges, reveals, end panels, mitres, and how everything meets uneven walls and floors. Our background in joinery & bespoke carpentry is what keeps the final result tight — especially in Edinburgh properties where nothing is perfectly square.
Plumbing, electrics and heating coordination
Most kitchen renovations involve moving or upgrading services. We coordinate electrical, plumbing and heating so the project stays on schedule and you’re not juggling multiple contractors. If your kitchen ties into a broader interior upgrade, we’ll structure the sequence properly from first fix through to finishing.

How much does a kitchen renovation or extension cost in Edinburgh?
Kitchen renovation and extension costs in Edinburgh vary depending on size, structural work, layout changes, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and the specification of cabinets, worktops and finishes. A straightforward kitchen refurbishment will cost less than a rear extension involving steelwork and glazing. The most accurate way to price the project is through a site visit followed by a detailed written quotation.
Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension in Edinburgh?
Some kitchen extensions fall under permitted development, but many Edinburgh properties - particularly those in conservation areas, listed buildings or tenement flats - require planning approval. We advise early based on your property type and the proposed design.
Do I need a building warrant for kitchen renovation work?
Internal kitchen renovations that involve structural alterations, removing load-bearing walls, altering drainage, or significant electrical upgrades typically require a building warrant in Edinburgh. Extensions almost always require approval. We can advise on what applies to your specific project.
Can you remove walls to create an open-plan kitchen?
Yes. Many kitchen renovations in Edinburgh involve removing internal walls to create open-plan kitchen-dining spaces. If the wall is load-bearing, structural engineer calculations and appropriate approvals are required before work begins. Steel beams are installed where necessary and finished to a high standard.
