Service Overview

Kitchens
The Brief, In Plain English.

What It Is

Full kitchen refits — strip out the existing kitchen back to substrate, re-route or upgrade plumbing and electrics, plaster, tile, install the new kitchen, fit worktops, second fix and decoration. We work with any supplier (Howdens, Wren, Magnet, bespoke makers) or source units at trade if you'd rather.

Who It's For

Homeowners replacing a tired kitchen, buyers refitting straight after moving in, landlords upgrading rental properties between tenancies, and clients who've had three trades quote separately and want one accountable team on one programme.

When You Need It

When the existing kitchen is at end-of-life, when the layout is fighting how you actually cook and live, or before a sale where an updated kitchen is the cheapest value-add available.

Why It Matters

Kitchens fail on coordination, not units. Tiler arrives before the plaster's set, the worktop fabricator templates over cabinets that aren't level, the electrician's on another job when the appliances land. One team sequencing strip-out → first fix → plaster → tile → install → second fix is the difference between three weeks and three months.

What Happens If You Wait

The Cost Of
Doing Nothing.

A poorly fitted kitchen is a daily reminder. Every cut tile, every misaligned cabinet, every dripping seal stays exactly as it is until you spend the money again.

Risks Of Ignoring It

  • Worktop seams that fail — silicone breaks down, water gets behind MDF cores, swelling within 18 months.
  • Slow leaks behind units onto joists below — discovered only when the ceiling stains.
  • Cabinets packed to compensate for an unlevel floor — drawers binding, doors out of line.
  • Hob and cooker installs done outside Gas Safe — no certification, insurance and resale issues.
  • Inadequate extraction — grease and moisture build up, paint blisters, cabinet finishes dull.

Common Mistakes Customers Make

  • ×Buying the kitchen before measuring the room properly — every dimension fight ends with filler panels.
  • ×Hiring on lowest quote without checking insurance, recent jobs and certification.
  • ×Skipping the first-fix walk-through before plastering — sockets and pipes in the wrong place forever.
  • ×Cheap tile adhesive on a £25k kitchen — the failure point of the whole job.

Open-Plan Kitchen

We used Ultra Build to create an open-plan kitchen. From start to finish they were open and transparent about time, cost and everything in between. Communication was professional throughout. I would highly recommend and would use them again.

Heather Heywood

Kitchen / Diner Open-Plan

The guys at Ultra Build helped us bring our dream kitchen/diner to reality by removing a wall to create a large open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area. We used pocket doors to give the option of open-plan or separate spaces.
