Kitchen Renovation Designed Around Your Home
Howdens kitchens are supplied in rigid units. This gives them a solid build quality, but it also means the installation needs to be right from the outset. There is very little room for adjustment once fitting begins.
Our job is to make sure the kitchen fits the space properly. That includes checking levels, services and finishes before installation starts. A kitchen that looks good on a plan still needs to work in the room it is being fitted into.
Types of Kitchen Renovation We Undertake
Kitchen renovation projects vary widely depending on the property, budget, materials quality and how the kitchen is to be used. Fixro delivers a range of kitchen renovation services across London, from straightforward upgrades to full reconfigurations.
Kitchen Replacement
Kitchen replacements involve removing the existing kitchen and installing a new one within the same, or similar, layout. This approach is often suitable where the existing layout works well but the units, worktops or appliances need updating.
Kitchen Reconfiguration
Kitchen reconfiguration projects involve changing the layout to improve flow, storage or usability. This may include relocating appliances, altering services or opening up the space to adjoining rooms.
Kitchen Renovation as Part of a Wider Refurbishment
Kitchen renovations are often carried out as part of a larger home renovation project. In these cases, works are carefully coordinated with other trades to ensure the kitchen installation fits seamlessly into the overall refurbishment.
Kitchen Layouts and Practical Considerations
Kitchen layout plays a major role in how the space feels and functions day to day. The right layout depends on the size of the room, how the kitchen is used, and how it connects to the rest of the home.
In larger or open-plan spaces, adding a kitchen island can provide extra worktop space, storage and seating, but only where circulation allows. In smaller kitchens, an island can quickly make the room feel cramped and difficult to move around.
L-shaped and U-shaped layouts are often well suited to compact or enclosed kitchens, as they make good use of available wall space while keeping everything within easy reach. Galley-style kitchens can work well in narrower rooms, provided storage and appliance placement are planned carefully.
Rather than following a particular style, our focus is on choosing a layout that suits the space and how it will be used. Ensuring the kitchen remains practical, comfortable, ergonomically friendly and easy to live with over time.

Real-World Experience and Practical Advice
Many clients come to us with kitchen ideas they have seen online, in magazines or in showrooms. Some designs work well. Others look great on screen but can be difficult to live with once the kitchen is in daily use.
Because our team has spent many years working on real kitchens in real homes, we are often able to highlight potential negative issues early. This might include how cupboard layouts affect storage, how certain materials wear over time, or how appliance placement impacts everyday use.
Our role is not to push clients in a particular direction, but to share our practical experience so informed decisions can be made from the outset.

Kitchen Renovation FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our services and kitchen renovation.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A straightforward kitchen replacement can often be completed within a few weeks. Projects involving layout changes, new services or structural works will take longer. During planning, we provide a realistic programme based on the scope of work.
Do I need planning permission or building control approval?
Replacing an existing kitchen usually does not require planning permission. However, building regulations may apply to electrical work, gas installations, ventilation and plumbing.
If the renovation involves structural changes or is part of a larger refurbishment, building control approval may be required. This is reviewed as part of the project and discussed before work begins.
Can I use my kitchen during renovation works?
In most cases, the kitchen will be out of use for the greater part of the renovation. For smaller projects, this period may be relatively short. For larger renovations, temporary arrangements are usually needed. We discuss this during planning so you can prepare in advance.
Is the work guaranteed?
We provide a minimum of 12 months workmanship guarantee on most works, alongside manufacturer warranties where applicable.
