The process

How kitchen renovation is scoped in Soho

  1. Photograph the Soho kitchen thoroughly

    Capture every elevation, ceiling, extract hood or grille, appliance run and the materials path for long joinery at the W1 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 Soho.

  3. Triage fabric, services, extract and access

    We review the layout, plumbing and electrical preparation, ventilation routes and access at your property in Soho 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 Soho.

  5. Programme first fix before joinery fit

    Accepted works sequence services and extract before carcasses and worktops, with freeholder or occupancy constraints for Soho 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 Soho unit — delivered in-house, not via a third-party marketplace.
