Kitchen renovation
Kitchen renovation is the process of changing the layout, design, and look of your kitchen. It’s a way for you to create more space in your kitchen or update it with new appliances, cabinets, countertops, and flooring options that have become available over time.
Benefits of renovating your kitchen
Renovating your kitchen is a fantastic way to make sure that you have the cooking area of your dreams. Triangle Kitchens has created this guide for those who are thinking about renovating their kitchens and want to make sure they get it right because we believe in helping our customers achieve exactly what they’re looking for!
When is kitchen renovation not the best option?
There are times when we recommend saving money by just updating certain parts of the kitchen instead of completely changing everything all at once. If budget isn’t an issue then there aren’t any downsides to doing a full renovation! When Triangle Kitchens do a project like this we always ensure our customers know what they’re getting into so they won’t be surprised after their work has been completed.

For a successful kitchen renovation, you need to
Find out your aim for the renovation
Finding out your aim for the renovation will help Triangle Kitchens ensure you get what you want from your kitchen space.
Set a realistic budget
Triangle Kitchens can guide and advise on how to set a budget but we recommend that if it’s let too low this may result in having some features excluded during planning such as fitted appliances or custom worktops which would diminish the value of an already small project!

What does kitchen renovation involve?
The process of kitchen renovation is a complicated one and Triangle Kitchens strongly recommend that you get in touch with us for expert advice. We can walk you through the entire process from start to end, ensuring that your renovation goes as smoothly as possible.
Demolition
To begin renovations, we first need to strip back all existing fittings down until we are left with just bare walls and floors. This may sound simple but it does require some expertise! Our team has years of experience working on all kinds of properties so rest assured this part will be done right every time – no matter what kind of property or situation we encounter!
Plumbing
Once the demolition is complete, we can then move on to installing all-new plumbing. This involves laying down a drainage system with piping, sink units and water supply systems – your kitchen will be completely up-to-date!
Electrical
Electricians are brought in once the plumbing has been installed to ensure that power reaches every corner of your kitchen. From lighting, appliances, sockets or even ovens you’ll have everything running smoothly again by the end of this process too!
Paint
Our kitchen fitters will make sure to use the correct materials and paint for your kitchen walls. We don’t want you having any unpleasant surprises after we’ve finished with our work!
Flooring
We installed kitchen floor tiles over the new subfloor – not only is it more durable, but also adds that sense of luxury back into your home! You can choose from a range of colours and styles so no matter what style you’re going for, there will be something perfect to suit your space.
Drywall
Next we get started with drywalling over any existing holes or gaps left by previous work done at your home. We check for levels first before securing panels firmly into place using nails and screws so it doesn’t budge.
Cabinetry
We install kitchen cabinets that are designed to fit your space perfectly.
Worktops
We offer a range of worktop options, including materials such as quartz and granite to suit any taste or budget. Our installers will make sure they’re fitted properly so there won’t be an unpleasant surprise after we finish!
Backsplash
We offer several styles for you to choose from – the choice is yours! No matter what style you go with, our installation team ensures that it’s done correctly so there won’t be any issues further down the line. You can count on Triangle Kitchens in Essex every time.
Appliances installation
We offer professional installation of your appliances. Our team will make sure that they are all installed correctly, and that everything works as it should – after all, you don’t want to be disappointed with the result!
