Kitchen Refurbishment and Layout Changes
Every good kitchen renovation starts with the right layout. The room should be practical, comfortable and suit the way you use your home.
Keystone Homes can undertake kitchen refurbishment projects that involve more than simply replacing units. This may include removing walls, opening up rooms, creating new openings, plastering, flooring, lighting, plumbing, electrics, kitchen fitting, tiling and decoration.
We can work from your kitchen plans and coordinate the building work needed before installing your new kitchen. Where needed, we can also work with designers, kitchen suppliers, structural engineers and other specialists to complete your project.
Our aim is to create a kitchens and entertaining spaces that feel natural, well planned and beautifully finished.
Expert Kitchen Renovations for Period and Modern Homes
Every home is unique. You may want to create an open-plan living space for a modern family kitchen, while an older property may need a more careful approach to layout, levels, walls and original features. Particularly when refurbishing kitchens in listed properties.
Keystone Homes has experience delivering kitchen renovations for both period and modern homes. We can transform your space ready for bespoke or off-the-peg kitchens and undertake the entire process for you.
Older homes often present challenges, such as uneven floors, old services, thick walls or restrictions on allowed alterations. We have extensive experience working with older properties and local authorities, and we understand the fabric and construction methods required for sympathetic and considered kitchen renovations.
Your new kitchen should fit your lifestyle, and your home. We will help you to achieve this.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Kitchen Renovations
Do I need planning permission for a kitchen renovation?
The majority of kitchen renovations do not require planning permission if the work is internal and an existing space. You may need planning permission or Article 4 approval to make internal changes if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Planning permission may also be required if the kitchen renovation includes an extension that falls outside of permitted development rules. We always suggest contacting your local council before undertaking any work to confirm if planning or other permissions may be required for your particular property and location.
Do kitchen renovations need building regulations approval?
Kitchen renovations will require building regulations approval if walls are removed or structural changes are made, if the drainage is substantially altered, or if significant electrical and plumbing works are needed.
Can Keystone Homes remove walls to create an open-plan kitchen?
Yes. Keystone Homes can carry out major and minor structural alterations to create open-plan kitchens subject to permissions. If walls are being removed, a structural engineer may be required to provide calculations before the work begins and we can work with local building control on your behalf to sign off works. Listed properties and Article 4 restrictions may require specific planning permission to make structural changes.
Do you fit kitchens supplied by other companies?
Yes. Keystone Homes are experienced kitchen fitters. We work from your designers plans and install kitchen units supplied by your chosen company. We do not install stone worktops, we can prepare the kitchen ready for measuring and installation by a 3rd party supplier, or we can recommend a trusted stone worktop specialist to you.
Can you supply bespoke kitchens?
Yes. We have relationships with several local bespoke kitchen companies and cabinet makers who can design and produce custom kitchens to suit your needs, style and space. Should you also require worktops, we have relationships with stone worktop specialists in Sussex and Surrey. Please contact us if you would like to know more about our bespoke kitchens and supply partners.
Can you renovate kitchens in older homes?
Yes. We have extensive experience working with older homes and period properties and we understand their construction methods and unique needs. Common challenges include uneven walls, floors, renewing old services and preserving original features which all require knowledge and a sympathetic approach.
Can a kitchen renovation include new plumbing and electrics?
Yes. Kitchen renovations will generally involve renewing plumbing, electrics, lighting, ventilation and central heating. This brings older properties up to modern standards, and even in modern homes, significant changes will often require alterations to key services. As a full-service building company, we have the trades and experience to undertake any plumbing, gas, heating or electrical works required and we will work with building control to ensure all alterations are certified.
