Kitchen refurbishment

The Kitchen Is the Room That Sells the House

A new kitchen rarely goes into the room as it stands. There is usually a wall to move, a floor to level, a window to change, pipework and wiring to relocate, and a ceiling that needs sorting before a single unit goes in. When the building work and the fitting are done by two different firms, the joins show.

O&S refurbishes kitchens across Eastbourne, Hailsham, Hastings and the surrounding area as a single job. Our builders open up the room, our plumbers and electricians run the services to where the new layout needs them, and the units, worktops, flooring and tiling are fitted and finished by the same team.

We fit kitchens you have already chosen, or we can help you plan the layout before you order.

Plan the room

Four Layouts, One Working Triangle

Pick a layout to see how the units sit in the room and how far you walk between the sink, the hob and the fridge.

Galley

Two facing runs. Very efficient in a narrow room, with everything a step or two away.

What is included

What the Job Covers

The parts of the work we handle ourselves, which on most jobs is all of it.

01

Strip Out and Structure

The old kitchen removed, walls taken out or moved, and steels fitted where the room is being opened up.

02

Plumbing and Electrics

Water, waste, gas and power run to the new layout, with the wiring by our own electricians.

03

Floors and Walls

Floors levelled, walls plastered, and the room made ready for the fit.

04

Units and Worktops

Fitted and levelled properly, with worktops templated and cut in.

05

Tiling and Splashbacks

Wall tiling, floor tiling and glass or metro splashbacks.

06

Lighting and Finishing

Downlights, under cupboard lighting, sockets where you actually need them, and decoration.

How it works

02

A Written Estimate

One price for the building work, the services and the fit.

03

The Refurbishment

Strip out, first fix, plaster, fit and finish, in the right order and with the house kept usable.

04

Handover

Everything tested, the room cleaned, and our 12 month workmanship guarantee.

“Get the walls, the floor and the wiring right first. The units are the easy bit.”

Common questions

Questions About Kitchens

If the answer you need is not here, call Martin on 01323 382155 and ask.

Yes. Many of our customers have chosen their kitchen from a supplier and need a builder to prepare the room and fit it properly. We do the building work, the services and the fit.

Yes. Removing a wall between the kitchen and the dining or living room is one of the most common jobs we do. It usually needs a steel, which we fit to an engineer's design and have inspected.

Yes, with our own people. That is the difference with O&S: the kitchen is one job with one firm, not a builder, an electrician and a plumber to chase separately.

It depends on how much building work is involved. We plan the job so the time without a working kitchen is as short as possible, and we tell you the programme before we start.

Either. Some customers choose and buy their units from a supplier and we fit them; others ask us to source everything. We will talk through both routes at the first visit.

It depends on the job, but a straightforward refit with no structural work is typically a week or two. We will set up a temporary sink and a worktop for the kettle so you are not living on takeaways.
