Transforming the Heart of Your Home: Kitchen Renovations & Upgrades

At Tony Adams Builds, we know the kitchen is more than just a place to cook. It’s the heart of your home — where families gather, friends chat over coffee, and life’s little moments happen. Whether you’re dreaming of a modern open-plan space or a traditional kitchen with character, a well-planned renovation can completely transform how your home feels and functions. 

Why Invest in a Kitchen Renovation? 

A kitchen renovation is one of the best investments you can make. It not only improves your daily living experience but can significantly boost your property’s value. A stylish, functional kitchen is often top of the wishlist for potential buyers. 

But it’s not just about resale. A well-executed kitchen upgrade can make your home more energy-efficient, practical, and enjoyable to live in — whether it’s for busy family breakfasts or relaxed weekend entertaining. 

Our Role: Crafting the Perfect Canvas for Your Dream Kitchen 

When it comes to upgrading your kitchen, it’s easy to get swept up in choosing units, worktops, and finishes. But behind every beautiful new kitchen is a huge amount of preparation work that ensures it not only looks fantastic but functions perfectly too.  

At Tony Adams Builds, we specialise in exactly that. As Harpenden’s trusted building contractor and property developer, we don’t sell kitchens — but we do specialise in all the essential groundwork that turns a tired, outdated kitchen into a blank canvas ready for your dream kitchen. Whether you’re choosing a bespoke handmade kitchen or an off-the-shelf option from Howdens, Wren, Magnet or similar, we handle everything that comes before the units go in — and ensure they’re fitted to perfection. 

What Does “Preparing a Kitchen” Involve? 

Before a single cabinet is fitted or a tile is laid, there’s essential groundwork that needs to happen. Here’s how we get your kitchen space ready for installation: 

Removing the Old Kitchen 

We’ll carefully strip out your existing kitchen, ensuring all units, worktops, tiles, and flooring are removed safely and efficiently. This includes disconnecting old plumbing and electrics where needed.  

Plastering & Wall Prep 

Once the old kitchen is out, it’s time to repair and make good the walls. From patch repairs to full re-plastering, we ensure a smooth, perfect finish ready for tiling or painting. 

Electrics & Lighting 

Whether you’re reconfiguring your kitchen layout or upgrading appliances and lighting, we’ll carry out all electrical work to current regulations, making sure everything is safe, practical, and positioned where you need it. 

Plumbing & Heating 

From moving sinks to preparing for integrated appliances and fitting new radiators or underfloor heating, we make sure all plumbing work is done correctly and efficiently. 

Flooring Preparation & Installation 

A new kitchen often means a new floor. We’ll prepare the subfloor, level surfaces where needed, and install your chosen flooring — whether it’s tiles, wood, or luxury vinyl. 

Tiling & Splashbacks 

Once your new kitchen is installed, we can complete the look with expert tiling for walls and splashbacks. 

We Don’t Just Prepare – We Install Your New Kitchen Too 

While many people think of builders as just handling the “messy” parts, at Tony Adams Builds we take your project right through to completion. Once your kitchen space is fully prepped, we also install your new kitchen units, worktops, and fittings with expert precision. 

Whether you’ve chosen a bespoke kitchen or an off-the-shelf design from a supplier like Howdens, Wren, or Magnet, we ensure everything is installed to the highest standards — level, secure, and with a flawless finish. 

From fitting cabinetry and worktops to integrating appliances, sinks, and finishing touches, we’ll make sure your new kitchen not only looks stunning but functions perfectly too. 

Think of us as your one-stop building contractor for kitchen renovations, all managed with skill, care, and attention to detail.
