Complete Kitchen Renovation Services in Havering
Kitchen Renovation
Across Havering, Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms renovates kitchens in flats, terraced homes and larger houses. Our fitters survey the room first, checking measurements, plumbing, electrics and the condition of walls and floors, before a specification is drawn up using ranges from Howdens or Symphony Group. Old units come out, waste removal is arranged and the plastering and decorating that follows is coordinated for you. If you'd rather use brands or materials we don't offer, you can supply those items and we'll handle the rest.
Bespoke Kitchens
Room dimensions, daily routines and preferred style shape every bespoke kitchen from our Havering kitchen design team. Shaker doors suit a traditional look, while handleless fronts with Blum soft-close hinges give a sleeker, modern finish. We plan bespoke cabinets, appliance housing, larder units and drawer storage to use the available space well. Then we make sure to settle door finishes, handles and access to services before we put in the order.
Kitchen Design & Supply
Kitchen design and supply at Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms starts by confirming your room's measurements and drawing up a clear specification. Unit positions, worktop areas, storage and appliance locations come next, with cabinets supplied from ranges such as Howdens or Second Nature Kitchens. Worktops can be specified in Corian solid surface or Silestone and Caesarstone quartz to suit your budget and style. We'll give you a chance to review the full design and material list before we place the order.
Kitchen Installation
Once the layout and specification are agreed, our Havering kitchen fitters install your new kitchen. A supply and fit project covers assembling units, levelling cabinets, fitting Corian or laminate worktops and coordinating plumbing, electrics and finishing trades. Customer-supplied kitchens are welcome too, after we've checked the plans, components and site requirements. We confirm who supplies each item and completes each task before work starts to avoid delays during the process.
Kitchen Cabinet Installation
Doors and drawer fronts line up for a consistent finish when Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms fits your cabinets. We check wall and floor surfaces first, then position the carcasses to suit the room and planned worktop height. Standard units or bespoke cabinets with Blum hinges and runners both give smooth, soft-close operation. Cabinet refacing is another route. We recommend this if you want to upgrade the look of existing units in sound condition without spending a fortune on a full replacement.
Kitchen Storage Solutions
Corners, narrow gaps and tall spaces often go to waste, so our Havering kitchen design team plans storage solutions that put them to work. Pull-out larders, pantry units, deep drawers and corner storage are common choices, often fitted with Hafele internal systems. We map the layout around what you keep in the kitchen and how you use it. This means keeping everyday items within easy reach and giving larger ones a practical home so they're not in the way.
Kitchen Worktop Installation
Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms installs worktops in laminate, timber, Corian solid surface, and Silestone or Caesarstone quartz. Each material carries different care needs, costs and fitting requirements, and we help you compare the options that suit your kitchen and budget. We measure for sinks, hobs, joins and edges before fitting the worktop. Accurate planning creates a neat finish around appliances and cuts the risk of delays during installation.
Kitchen Sinks, Taps & Splashbacks
Our Havering plumbing and fitting team fits Franke or Blanco sinks, Grohe or Bristan mixer taps, and matching splashbacks, using WRAS-approved connections throughout. We check the sink position against the cabinet layout and worktop before installation. Choose a splashback material and finish that suits your worktop and cooking area. We tile splashbacks or fit other agreed finishes, taking care around edges and socket access.
Kitchen Appliance Installation & Extraction
Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms installs kitchen appliances such as Neff, Bosch or AEG ovens and hobs, and fits the extractor hoods that clear steam and odours from the room. Integrated appliances need correctly sized housing, clear service access and suitable electrical and plumbing connections. We plan the extraction route to suit the room, since good ventilation depends on the appliance type, its position and the available ducting. Well-planned extraction keeps condensation and cooking smells from spreading through the rest of the home.
Kitchen Flooring & Tiling
Our Havering fitting team fits kitchen flooring in materials such as Amtico or Karndean luxury vinyl tile, and tiles walls or floors as part of a renovation. Before work starts, we check the surface for uneven areas and prepare it to suit the chosen floor or tile finish. We coordinate floor preparation, tiling and lighting work alongside the cabinet installation. Careful sequencing protects new surfaces while fitters complete the rest of the kitchen.
Bathroom Renovation Services in Havering
Bespoke Bathrooms
Our Havering bathroom design team designs each bathroom around your room size, plumbing points, storage needs and daily routines. For a family bathroom, we plan a bath, shower, basin, toilet and vanity unit from ranges such as Villeroy & Boch or Roper Rhodes, with vanity tops available in engineered stone or solid surface. We also design compact en-suites, cloakrooms and downstairs WCs, coordinating porcelain tiles, moisture-resistant MDF cabinetry and IP-rated lighting to suit each space.
Bathroom Renovation
From rip-out to final fitting, Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms manages the whole bathroom renovation. Old fixtures come out first, then the walls and floor are checked and the plumbing and electrical work is planned before installation begins. A new vitreous china toilet and basin, an acrylic or steel bath, a vanity unit, showers from Mira or Aqualisa and heated towel rails can all be plumbed in. As always, we'll get your approval for each material choice so you get the final say on everything.
Bathroom Design & Supply
Bathroom design and supply at Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms starts with a layout suited to your space, then sourcing fixtures such as wall-hung toilets, concealed shower valves and Grohe or Bristan rainfall showers. Brassware comes in chrome, brushed brass or matte black finishes, and vanity tops in engineered stone or laminate. During this stage, we take extra care to stay within your set budget while still picking high-quality materials.
Bathroom Refurbishment and Refitting
Worn fixtures, damaged porcelain tiles, tired grout and outdated fittings are replaced during bathroom refurbishment in Romford and across Havering. A refit includes new Ideal Standard or Roca sanitaryware, epoxy grout for better stain resistance, plumbing updates and floor covering. We assess the existing room first to recommend what to retain or replace, then prepare surfaces, complete first-fix plumbing and electrics and finish with grout and silicone.
Walk-In Shower & Shower Enclosure Installation
Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms fits walk-in showers, Merlyn or Matki enclosures with toughened 8mm safety glass, and over-bath showers to suit the room and how you use it. Options include a stone resin low-profile tray, sliding door, shower screen and thermostatic or electric shower. We check the available space, drainage route and water pressure before fitting. Your shower is your sanctuary, so we take all the steps to avoid future leaks and similar issues in the future.
Wet Room Installation
An open shower area with a level-access shower defines a wet room conversion. Falls to drain are planned, an Impey shower former or linear drain is fitted and a wet-room screen controls spray. Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms tanks the floor and walls with a Wedi rigid foam board system and a liquid waterproofing membrane before tiling. Drainage design and floor build-up are checked early so the finished level works properly.
Bathroom Waterproofing
Good waterproofing protects walls and floors around showers, baths and basins. We make sure this happens by preparing the substrate, fitting tile backer board where needed, and tanking wet areas with a liquid membrane to BS 5385-4 before tiling. We pay close attention to corners and pipe openings, so we can seal edges with silicone to keep water away from the structure behind the finish.
Bathroom Tiling & Flooring
Porcelain, natural stone or ceramic tiles cover bathroom walls and floors when our Havering tiling team takes on the job, with epoxy grout in wet areas for extra durability. Tile positions are planned around shower fittings, niches and basins to reduce awkward cuts. Floors can be finished with tiles or Amtico and Karndean LVT depending on the room, laid with suitable adhesive and sealant so the finished floor sits securely.
Bathroom Ventilation & Heating
Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms installs humidity-sensing extractor fans from brands such as Vent-Axia, plus heated towel rails or Nu-Heat electric underfloor heating to control moisture and improve comfort. Positioning depends on the room layout and how the space is used. Our team operates with a Electrical Installation Certificate to fit IP-rated lighting and mirror demisters, arranging the required electrical certification for bathroom zones.
Additional Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation Services
Plumbing & Electrical Work
Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms arranges kitchen and bathroom plumbing for sinks, taps, showers and appliances, and coordinates the electrical work each renovation needs, using WRAS-approved fittings and copper or PEXpipework throughout. Our NICEIC-registered electricians handle sockets, lighting circuits and extractor fan wiring, certifying new circuits under Part P of the Building Regulations. We also arrange qualified trades for any gas work through the Gas Safe Register.
Extensions & Structural Alterations
If your plans involve an open-plan kitchen or a larger bathroom, Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms can include structural alterations in the renovation plan, from removing a wall to fitting a structural steel beam (RSJ) to support the opening. We work with a structural engineer where Building Regulations Part A applies, and liaise with the London Borough of Havering's building control team on approvals. Once the structural work is signed off, we coordinate the carpentry, plastering, tiling and flooring that follows.
Strip-Out & Waste Removal
Old cabinets, worktops, appliances, suites and tiles all come out during a full kitchen or bathroom strip-out, with waste removal arranged by our team before any new units or fixtures go in. In Havering's older Victorian and 1930s properties, we can arrange an asbestos survey before work starts, and disposal goes through a licensed waste carrier and skip hire. Our team underwent asbestos awareness training and is Environmental Protection Act 1990-compliant. You can rest assured that all strip-out and waste removal project will according to plan.
Kitchen and Bathroom Project Management
One named point of contact looks after your whole project, covering access, material deliveries and waste collection. Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms coordinates the renovation from planning the layout through to scheduling the plumbing, electrics, carpentry, tiling, flooring, plastering and decorating trades in the right order, so nothing slips through the cracks. We'll give you updates during each stage so you know exactly what's going with your bathroom or kitchen project.
Specialty Kitchen and Bathroom Services in Havering
Accessible Bathrooms
One out of 6 Havering residents are elderly. That's why we at Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms designs mobility bathrooms around your needs and the space available, specifying Doc M-compliant fittings such as AKW grab rails and a comfort-height WC. We fit level-access or low-threshold showers with Altro Walkway or similar non-slip vinyl flooring, plus a folding shower seat where space allows.
For an accessible shower room or wet room, we plan clear floor space, suitable drainage falls and anti-slip flooring to reduce trip and slip risks. The UK housing guidance recognises bathroom falls as a hazard for people aged 60+. We take pride in helping our clients avoid that.
Small Bathroom Renovations
Small bathroom renovation is one of our most in-demand services. Not really a surprise considering that the average bathroom in the Havering area only measures 2.1 m × 1.7 m, or roughly 3.6 m². Our designers, after completing over 213 projects for smaller bathrooms, have become experts at fitting everything a family needs in such a tiny space. We fit a walk-in shower with a sliding door, hang the toilet and basin on a Geberit concealed frame to free up floor space, and add recessed storage or a mirrored cabinet with LED demister lighting.
We also replace fittings, tile walls and floors in large-format porcelain, and upgrade ventilation with a humidity-sensing extractor fan to manage moisture. If you're considering a bathroom extension or reconfiguration, we assess the plumbing and drainage changes needed before setting out the work.
Kitchen Open-Plan Conversions
Many traditional kitchens in Havering only measure around 9 to 13 m². We can make that feel small space feel a whole lot bigger though. Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms connects the kitchen with a dining or living area, through open-plan conversions. Where it does, we work with a structural engineer on the beam design, then liaise with Building Control on approval before work starts.
Our Havering kitchen fitters plan the new layout, move kitchen plumbing where needed, and coordinate cabinets from ranges such as Howdens or Symphony Group for the finished space. Structural changes and some drainage alterations trigger Building Regulations approval, so we confirm these requirements early to avoid delays.

Having 29 years of experience in the industry, we have worked with hundreds of clients. Here's what you can expect when you choose to work with our team.

Designs and Prices You Can Trust
At the design appointment, 3D kitchen design or 3D bathroom design lets you see the cabinets, worktops, sanitaryware and fittings before you approve the specification. Our itemised quotation then sets out the agreed work, products and exclusions. Having built a longtime working relationship with suppliers, we can get you quality materials at a more competitive price than other kitchen and bathroom building companies. If anything changes after approval, we confirm the effect on cost and timing in writing.
A Tidy, Well-Run Installation
Although we follow a tried-and-tested set process, we stay flexible during the installation stage to account for unexpected delays and issues. Our expert team will make sure to protect your floors and access routes before the old fixtures come out. First fix plumbing, wiring and ventilation come before wall and floor finishes, fitting and second fix, with Havering Council building control involved wherever approval is needed.
A Finish You Can Sign Off With Confidence
Before handover, we walk the finished kitchen or bathroom with you to complete snagging, putting right any misaligned doors, incomplete sealant or finish marks. You then receive the relevant paperwork, including an electrical certificate and a gas safety certificate where a Gas Safe registered engineer has carried out gas work, along with your workmanship guarantee and an aftercare contact.

FAQs About Kitchen & Bathroom Services
How much do kitchen and bathroom projects cost in Havering?
A bathroom refit with Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms typically costs from around £4,000 for a straightforward refit, up to £12,000 or more for a larger bathroom or wet room with bespoke tiling, while kitchen renovations usually range from about £8,000 for a smaller kitchen with standard units to £25,000 or beyond for bespoke cabinetry and stone worktops. Costs depend on room size, product choices and whether plumbing or electrics need to move, so we provide a free, no-obligation quote after surveying your home.
How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom project take to complete?
A bathroom refit with Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, and a kitchen renovation takes 2 to 4 weeks, longer where we need to move plumbing, electrics or walls. We confirm your exact schedule after surveying the space and agreeing the design and products.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Yes, you can stay at home while Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms carries out the work, though expect some dust, noise and limited access to the room under renovation. If we're replacing your only bathroom or kitchen, we'll tell you in advance how long key facilities will be unavailable so you can plan around it.
Do you fit kitchen and bathroom products supplied by the customer?
Yes, Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms fits kitchen and bathroom products you supply. But we have to check their condition, measurements and suitability for the design first. Share the product details before work begins so we can confirm what installation involves and clarify who's responsible for any missing or faulty items.
Do you remove the old kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, our team removes existing units, fittings and fixtures as part of the project, and arranges waste removal for your old kitchen or bathroom through a licensed waste carrier. We agree the removal and disposal arrangements with you before work starts, including any extra charges for specialist disposal.
Do I need planning permission or building regulations approval for kitchen and bathroom projects in Havering?
Not really. Replacing a kitchen or bathroom in its existing layout doesn't usually need planning permission. Building regulations can apply if the work changes drainage, electrics, ventilation or structural elements, or creates a new room, so Havering Kitchens and Bathrooms will help you check with Havering Council's building control team before work starts.
