What We Tackle
Common Kitchen Challenges We Solve in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's housing stock throws up specific kitchen challenges. Here's what our customers ask us to fix and improve most often.
Dated or Worn-Out Units
Old carcasses, swollen worktops, and broken hinges are no-brainers to replace. We strip out the old kitchen and install your new units cleanly and level to last for years.
Leaking Sink or Pipework
Failed waste traps, corroded supply pipes, and dripping taps cause damp under units. Our leak detection and repair service replaces old pipework and reseals everything properly to stop water damage in its tracks.
Poor Appliance Connections
Incorrectly plumbed dishwashers, washing machines, and boiling water taps are common in older Edinburgh kitchens. We connect every appliance to manufacturer specification — correct supply connections, properly run waste, and fully tested before sign-off.
Inefficient Use of Space
Many Edinburgh flats have awkward galley kitchens. We help redesign the layout — moving sink positions, rerunning waste pipes — to make the most of every inch available.
Slow or Blocked Kitchen Drains
Grease build-up and food debris clog kitchen waste over time. Our blocked drains service clears, reconfigures, or replaces the drainage under your sink as needed for a free-flowing result.
Wanting a Modern Open-Plan Layout
Opening up a kitchen into a living area requires careful planning of waste runs and supply pipes. We've completed open-plan kitchen renovations across Edinburgh and know exactly what's involved.

Understanding Your Quote
What Affects the Cost of a Kitchen Refurbishment?
Every Edinburgh kitchen is different, so every kitchen refurbishment quote is different. Rather than publishing prices that rarely reflect reality, we prefer to visit and quote properly. These are the main factors that influence a kitchen installation cost — so you know what we're considering when we put together your written quote.
We always provide fixed-price quotes. Once agreed, you won't face unexpected extras unless you add to the scope.
Get a Free Quote01
Kitchen Size & Layout
Larger kitchens take longer to fit. Complex layouts with more corners, end panels, and filler pieces also add time. Open-plan kitchen renovations typically take longer than a straight replacement in an existing footprint.
02
Unit & Worktop Specification
Entry-level, mid-range, and premium units vary significantly in price. Solid stone or quartz worktops cost more than laminate and require specialist cutting — this affects both materials and time.
03
Plumbing Alterations
If your new kitchen layout matches the existing plumbing positions, costs are lower. Moving the sink, extending supply pipes, or repositioning waste runs adds to the scope. See our plumbing and heating services in Edinburgh for more detail.
04
Appliance Connections
The more appliances to plumb — dishwasher, washing machine, boiling water tap, filtered water tap — the more connection work is involved. All connected to manufacturer specification with correct waste and supply runs.
05
Tiling & Finishes
Splashback and floor tiling scope varies depending on area and tile size. Larger format tiles or complex patterns take more time. We include tiling in the same project quote rather than pricing it separately.
06
Structural or Open-Plan Changes
If your kitchen renovation involves removing a wall or altering the structural layout, this adds cost and requires more planning. We'll advise on this during the site visit so you're clear on scope before committing.
