A kitchen refit fails on coordination — plumber waits for electrician, tiler waits for plasterer, and you live weeks without a sink. We run kitchens as one managed project: design with 3D visuals, supply at trade prices from Howdens, Magnet and Wren, structural work and building regs handled in-house, then plumbing, electrics, tiling, flooring and decoration by the same team. One quote, one timeline, one point of contact.

Our Process
Every kitchen refit project follows the same 8-12 step process. Here's what to expect from your free site visit to your 12-month aftercare check.
01Free site visit & consultation
James visits your the refit property to scope the work, discuss options, and assess constraints — listed status, party walls, ground conditions. No charge, no obligation.
02Fixed-price itemised quote
You receive a fully itemised quote — materials, labour, waste removal, sign-off fees all broken down. What we quote is what you pay.
03Scheduling & preparation
We agree start dates and working hours, order materials, arrange skips and scaffolding where needed, and protect your home with dust sheets and floor coverings.
04your kitchen works begin
The crew carries out the work to the agreed spec. Daily tidy-ups and protected access routes — your home stays liveable.
05Structural & building control sign-off
Where the work is structural, Building Control inspects at the required stages and you receive full certification on completion.
06Quality check with James
James walks the finished work with you. Any snags are dealt with immediately — we only sign off when you are fully satisfied.
07Handover & documentation
You get certificates, warranties and any FENSA/Building Control paperwork, plus guidance on caring for the new work.

If anything needs attention later, we come back. Our reputation in Bath is built on long-term relationships, not one-off jobs.

Verified customer reviews from our kitchen refit installations across Bath.
★★★★★
The team has done a lot of work for us including designing and fitting a new kitchen and putting in a new bathroom. They are extremely helpful, very tidy and the work is to a very high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
★★★★★
Aspect builders are a very professional, personable team. We used them to create our vegetable garden and had significant kitchen structural work carried out. Both projects were completed to an excellent standard. Highly recommend.
★★★★★
Older property, kitchen with apex ceiling. Very pleased with the professional finish, friendly team. I was asked before painting commenced what I would like. All surfaces fully protected and covered, no mess left. Impressed with the high standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our kitchen refit service.
How much does a kitchen refit cost in Bath?
Costs vary widely depending on size, finish level, structural work, and whether you're reconfiguring the layout. We give you a fixed-price quote after a free site visit, so you know the exact cost before any work starts in your Bath home. No day rates, no open-ended estimates.
How long does a kitchen refit take in Bath?
A like-for-like kitchen refit in Bath typically takes 1-2 weeks. A knock-through to open-plan takes 3-4 weeks. A full extension build with the kitchen as the focal point takes 8-12 weeks from start to handover.
Do you handle planning permission for kitchen extensions in Bath?
Yes — full planning management is included in every fixed-price quote. Pre-applications, full drawings, structural calcs, listed-building consent, building regs. All managed in-house by James, with full conservation-officer liaison for Bath's conservation areas.
Can you work around listed-building status in Bath?
Yes — heritage and listed-building kitchen work is what we do. Bath stone restoration, lime mortar, conservation-officer liaison. We work in Bathampton, Batheaston, Widcombe, central Bath, and all Bath conservation areas.
Will I be without a kitchen during the work?
We sequence the project so the kitchen is only unavailable for 3-5 days during the actual rip-out and install. Plumbing and electrics are pre-wired before the kitchen is disconnected, so you can usually keep a temporary kitchen setup going.
Do you supply the kitchen or can I use my own?
Both work. We're trade-account holders at Howdens, Magnet, and Wren, so we can supply and pass through the discount. Or you can buy from wherever you like — we'll install it for the same labour price.
What if I change my mind during the build?
We re-quote before proceeding. The fixed-price contract is clear: any change is documented, priced, and approved by you before we do the work. No surprise extras at the end.
Are you insured and qualified to work in Bath?
£10M+ public liability (AXA-verified). CSCS cardholders, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified. James is MCIOB chartered through the Chartered Institute of Building. All documentation on request.
