Bespoke Kitchen Fitting & Full Transformations in Reading

Every project is unique, but a standard kitchen replacement (rip-out and new installation) usually takes between 2 to 3 weeks, however some smaller projects can be completed within 1 week. A typical installation timeline is as follows: Week 1: Removal of the old kitchen, first-fix plumbing, electrics, plastering and cabinetry installation. Week 2: Worktop installation, tiling, flooring, and final "second-fix" connections. Week 2-3: Decorating and any other works required. Note: Specialist worktops like Quartz or Granite require templating, which can add 7–10 days to the timeline.

Yes. At AD Home Improvements, we provide a full turnkey service. This includes: Gas Engineering: Moving boilers or connecting hobs. Electrics: New lighting, socket relocation, and appliance wiring.

We are flexible. We can work with kitchens you have already purchased from suppliers like Howdens or we can help source and design the kitchen for you. We highly recommend that we are involved in the design and purchasing stage so we can check over the plans and make sure you have everything included to make sure your installation goes smoothly.

In most cases, no. If you are simply replacing an existing kitchen or making internal changes, you do not need planning permission. However, if your kitchen renovation is part of a larger extension or involves a listed building, different rules apply. We can advise you on this during your consultation.
