Kitchen Renovations & Fitting
The kitchen is the room people live in most, so it is worth getting right. We handle everything from assembling units you have bought yourself to bespoke kitchen installations taken back to bare walls and rebuilt properly. For larger projects we also open up the space, knocking through walls and installing structural steel to create the open-plan kitchen-diners people really want. If you are in Basildon, you can read more about our kitchen fitters in Basildon.
From dated and tired to bright and modern
This Essex kitchen went from worn lino, lime-green units and yellowed walls to a calm, open-plan space with grey shaker cabinets, oak-effect worktops and a built-in extractor. Same footprint, completely transformed. Drag the slider to see the difference.

The choices that shape your kitchen
Units and doors
From budget-friendly flat-pack to bespoke cabinetry. The doors and handles do most of the work in setting the look.
Worktops
Laminate is affordable and practical. Timber is warm. Quartz and granite are hard-wearing and feel premium. We help you weigh it up.
Layout
Galley, L-shape, island or peninsula. The right layout depends on the room and how you cook, eat and store things.
Open-plan living
Want a bigger, brighter space? We knock through walls and install structural steel beams to open the kitchen into a dining or living area.
Appliances
Integrated for a seamless look or freestanding for flexibility. We fit both and coordinate the gas, water and power.
Tiling and splashbacks
A splashback protects the wall and adds character. We tile, or fit glass and stone panels, to match the finish.
Lighting
Under-cabinet, spots and pendants change how the room feels. We coordinate the electrics as part of the job.

Common questions
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Essex?
Fitting-only for a standard kitchen typically ranges from around £1,000 to £3,000 depending on the size of the room and the work involved. Full supply-and-fit renovations, open-plan knock-throughs and bespoke kitchens are quoted per project. We give you a fixed written quote after a free site visit, so you know the exact cost before any work starts.
What is the difference between supply-and-fit and fit-only?
Fit-only means you buy the units yourself and we install them. Supply-and-fit means we handle both sourcing the kitchen and installing it as one package. We are happy either way, and we will explain the pros and cons of each when we visit.
Can you design the kitchen layout for me?
Yes. If you are not sure how to make the most of the space, we can talk through layout options with you, from where the sink and hob sit to how to fit in more storage. We want the kitchen to work for how you actually use it.
What worktop materials can you fit?
We fit laminate, solid timber, quartz and granite. Each has a different look, price and level of upkeep. We will walk you through what suits your budget and how you use your kitchen.
Will my kitchen be unusable for the whole job?
There is usually a short stretch in the middle where the kitchen is out of action, but we plan the work to keep that window as short as we can and we tell you up front when it will be.
Do you remove the old kitchen and rubbish?
Yes. We strip out the old kitchen, remove all the waste and leave the space clean and ready. You do not need to arrange a skip or disposal yourself.

From the first visit to the final clean up, the team were spot on. Our new kitchen is exactly what we hoped for and the quote never changed. We could not be happier.
They fitted our bathroom in the timescale they promised and left the house spotless every evening. Genuinely trustworthy tradesmen, which is rare these days.
We had three quotes and Jennings were the only ones who actually came out to measure and talk it through properly. The finish on our kitchen is faultless.
Full kitchen and a knock through. Clear pricing, tidy workers and they kept us updated the whole way. Would recommend to anyone in Basildon without hesitation.
Absolutely love our new shaker kitchen. The attention to detail on the fitting is what sets them apart from the rest. Five stars from us.
Reliable, polite and properly skilled. They sorted a few extras for us without any fuss and the price stayed fair. The best trade experience we have had.
