Kitchen & Flooring Renovation
Strip out, floor preparation and new kitchen installation | Guernsey
A tired kitchen taken back to structure and rebuilt
This project involved the renovation of an existing kitchen. The works were carried out in accordance with the agreed quotation and included demolition, floor preparation, insulation works, plastering, installation of the new kitchen and preparation of the floor for the final floor finish.
With the room stripped back, floor joists were replaced and 25mm plywood installed where required, damp-prone areas were boarded with Wedi board, and insulated Thermaboard was fixed to the external walls before a full skim plaster finish and self-levelling floor preparation.
What we delivered on this kitchen renovation
Damp walls and an uneven, failing floor
Once the old kitchen and quarry tiles were removed, the floor structure needed attention and areas of the external walls showed damp. A new kitchen can only be fitted accurately onto a flat, sound base — so the structure, insulation and levels all had to be corrected before a single unit went in.
As local building contractors in Guernsey, we handled demolition, joinery, plastering and the kitchen installation in one continuous programme, with the rest of the home protected throughout.

The photographs show the completed renovation, including the newly installed kitchen. With a repaired and levelled floor structure, insulated and freshly skimmed walls and new skirting boards throughout, the room was left fully prepared for the final floor finish — a warmer, drier, far more practical space than the one we started with.
