Kitchen renovation in Kentish Town houses, flats and shared homes

Opening a Kentish Town kitchen into the room behind it may mean taking out a chimney breast or setting a steel beam on the party wall. Either can involve the wall shared with next door. In a converted house, the kitchen may also sit above or below another household, with drainage that serves several homes. Our survey maps the walls, the stack and the floor before a layout is sketched.

In a let shared house, the licence sets standards for kitchens, room sizes and means of escape, and its conditions can carry deadlines. Moving a kitchen for a better layout is no gain if it leaves a bedroom below that standard. Gas work for a hob is left to engineers listed on the statutory register for it, and we check the listing before anyone is booked. Party wall notices and Building Regulations approval run alongside where structure changes, each confirmed for the exact address.

Cabinets and worktops reach a Kentish Town terrace in a small van, booked for a short slot, and are carried along a protected route to the kitchen. Any parking bay the van needs is suspended in advance. Old units are broken down indoors and leave in the same vehicle. In a shared house, the kitchen may be the only one, so tenants are told when it will be out of use.

Owners, leaseholders and landlords each bring different paperwork to a Kentish Town kitchen brief. A leaseholder should send the lease and its alteration clauses; a landlord, the licence and any deadlines. Everyone should give the exact address, an appliance list and photographs of the room. Hampstead Renovations turns that into a written scope for layout, services and joinery, then fits the kitchen in-house.

The process

How kitchen renovation is scoped in Kentish Town

  1. Photograph the Kentish Town kitchen thoroughly

    Capture every elevation, ceiling, extract hood or grille, appliance run and the materials path for long joinery at the NW5 unit.

  2. Submit a private kitchen brief

    Include preferred layout, appliance list with sizes and fuel type, supply-and-fit or fit-only preference, occupancy notes and the full unit postcode for Kentish Town.

  3. Triage fabric, services, extract and access

    We review the layout, plumbing and electrical preparation, ventilation routes and access at your property in Kentish Town before agreeing the work schedule.

  4. Receive a written kitchen scope

    Strip-out, first fix, joinery, worktops, tiling and appliances (if included) are itemised so layout change is not confused with a cosmetic refit in Kentish Town.

  5. Programme first fix before joinery fit

    Accepted works sequence services and extract before carcasses and worktops, with freeholder or occupancy constraints for Kentish Town written into the method.

  6. Fit-out, decoration and snagging

    Joinery, worktops, tiling and decoration complete the kitchen renovation package under written terms for the Kentish Town unit — delivered in-house, not via a third-party marketplace.
