Kitchen renovations in London, designed around daily life
Kitchen design, supply and installation shaped around how you cook, store and use the room.
Every part of the kitchen has to work together
A kitchen brings cabinetry, appliances, worktops, plumbing, electrics, extraction, lighting and flooring into the same plan. We define the layout and technical requirements before products are ordered. Our experience across kitchens informs the specification, price and installation sequence for each project.

What a kitchen renovation includes
Layout and specification
Supply and installation
Price fixed to the scope
We plan the working zones, cabinetry, storage, appliances, lighting and finishes around the room and how it will be used.
Cabinetry, worktops, appliances and materials are coordinated with plumbing, electrics, extraction, flooring and fitting.
The approved design, product specification and site requirements are priced before installation is scheduled.
Kitchen layouts
A complete kitchen along one wall
A single-wall kitchen places cabinetry, appliances and worktop along one side of the room. It suits compact spaces and open-plan layouts, but the sequence of each element matters because cooking, washing and storage all share the same run.
Working sequence
Storage and proportion
Two runs with room to move
A galley kitchen uses two parallel cabinet runs with a working aisle between them. It can provide generous worktop and storage within a narrow room, provided the spacing allows people, doors and drawers to move without conflict.
Aisle and movement
Cabinetry and light
Two walls with an open centre
An L-shaped kitchen uses two adjoining walls, leaving the centre of the room open for circulation, dining or an island where space allows. It can separate preparation, cooking and washing without enclosing the room.
Work zones
Corner and open space
Three sides of working space
A U-shaped kitchen uses three connected cabinet runs to create substantial worktop and storage. It can support clear cooking, washing and preparation zones, although the layout needs enough internal width to avoid feeling enclosed.

Corners and cabinetry
An additional work surface without a separate island
A peninsula kitchen extends from a wall or cabinet run to add worktop, storage or seating while remaining connected to the main layout. It can help define the kitchen within an open-plan room and may suit spaces that cannot accommodate a freestanding island.

What affects kitchen renovation
costs in London?
Keeping or changing the layout
Keeping the main fittings where they are usually keeps installation simpler. Moving them adds work beyond replacing the kitchen, and the survey confirms what the existing services allow before the layout is fixed.
Moving services
Changing the room
Construction, materials and detail
Similar-looking kitchens can differ in price because of how their cabinets are built and their surfaces finished. Worktop choice has a particularly large effect, and materials such as Corian can change the overall cost significantly.

Worktops
Beyond the appliance price
Appliance choices often affect the price more than clients expect, both in what they cost and in the work needed to install them. Even a like-for-like replacement can need changes behind the scenes.
Appliance choices
Supporting work
Preparation and fitting
The condition of the room and the level of fitting detail both affect labour. The survey covers what's visible, and anything found once the old kitchen is removed is recorded and priced as a variation.

Trusted by homeowners
Rated 4.9 on Houzz, and Best of Houzz for Service six years running.
The service is almost more of a product, in the sense that you see an initial digital design, and you pretty much pay a defined amount and get more or less exactly what you expected.

We are delighted with the transformation of our small shower room. The whole experience from the initial contact with Ali through the design and installation has been marvellous.

Common renovation questions
Answers on pricing, timing, scope and how your project is handled.
What’s included in an Indesign kitchen renovation?
An Indesign kitchen renovation includes the design, supply and installation of the whole room. Cabinetry, worktops, appliances and finishes are planned together, with a dedicated project manager handling ordering, deliveries and the installation team. You make the choices about your kitchen; we take responsibility for bringing it all together.
What type of kitchens does Indesign supply?
We work with selected German kitchen manufacturers that closely manage each stage of production. Our selection balances the quality of raw materials and finish with the breadth of the range, including cabinet sizes, door styles and storage options. This gives us flexibility to plan the kitchen around your room without compromising the standard of its construction.
What aftercare comes with my kitchen?
Every Indesign kitchen includes an 18-month workmanship guarantee. Supplied products carry their manufacturers’ guarantees. If a problem arises after completion, contact Indesign. Our team handles workmanship issues and deals directly with manufacturers over faults with products we supplied.
Who manages my kitchen renovation?
A dedicated project manager coordinates the installation team, deliveries and work on site. They bring decisions to you when your input is needed and confirm key agreements by email. You can focus on the choices that matter to you while they organise the work.
How long does kitchen installation take?
Kitchen installation typically takes 3–4 weeks. Allow 8–11 weeks for the overall process, including survey, planning, design and manufacture.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost?
Your first call or studio meeting gives you an idea of likely cost, based on the kitchen you want and the work involved. Our pricing framework accounts for the proposed scope and specification, so you can judge the likely spend before committing to design. A fixed price follows once the design, products and installation scope are agreed.
