Kitchen Renovations in Cheltenham
Homes in Cheltenham
Housing in Cheltenham varies a great deal. The Regency centre has terraces and villas, many of them listed, while further out there are large areas of Victorian, inter-war and modern family housing. What needs checking before a new kitchen depends on which you live in: in a listed house it is consent for the changes, and in a later family house it is often whether the wall you want to remove is load-bearing. The review on this page praises the team for turning up when they said they would and for listening to what the household wanted.
“We can’t thank Russit and his team enough for the incredible work they’ve done renovating our kitchen, bathroom, and hallway, as well as painting the exterior of our house. The kitchen is beautiful with solid oak doors and stunning handles and a showstopper tap!! From day one, they were a pleasure to have around — always respectful, friendly, and 100% reliable. They turned up exactly when they said they would every single day, which made the whole process completely stress-free. They truly listened to everything we wanted, fully embraced our vision, and offered thoughtful ideas and advice along the way to make sure we achieved the best possible result and real value for money. The discussions throughout the project were so helpful and showed how much pride they take in their work. The tiling in the kitchen and bathroom was exactly how we wanted it with matching grout! We are absolutely thrilled with the final result. We would highly recommend them to anyone — a genuinely brilliant team!”
What matters for kitchen renovations in Cheltenham
We begin by talking through how you use the kitchen and what you want to change. The layout, appliances and finishes are then planned together, and because we manage the different trades involved, you have one firm to speak to from the building work through to the finishing touches.
- Decide early whether the sink or cooker is moving. Rerouting water, waste or electrics is easiest to plan before units are chosen.
- New electrical circuits in the kitchen must meet the Building Regulations and be signed off.
- Bathrooms, other rooms and decorating can be discussed as part of the same project.
Questions about kitchen renovations in Cheltenham
Does a listed Regency house need consent for a new kitchen?
It can. Alterations that affect a listed building's character need listed building consent, and that can include some internal work. Many of Cheltenham's Regency terraces and villas are listed, so find out where your house stands before the design is fixed.
Can we knock the kitchen through to the dining room?
That depends on the wall between them. If it is load-bearing, taking it out must meet the Building Regulations and usually needs a steel beam sized by a structural engineer. Open kitchen and dining rooms are among the projects we have published.
