What Goes Into a Kitchen Renovation?

A kitchen renovation with IVCG is a fully managed process from the first call to the finished room. We coordinate every trade involved so you’re not juggling contractors or chasing updates. One point of contact, one team, one job done right.

Every kitchen is different. Some homeowners want a full reconfiguration with structural changes and new plumbing runs. Others want to modernise what’s there without touching the layout. Whatever the scope, we’ll work through it with you at the outset, plan it properly, and make sure nothing catches you off guard along the way.

It all starts with a free on-site consultation. We come to you, take a proper look at the space, and give you a clear, honest quote before any work begins. No obligation, no vague estimates, just a straightforward conversation about what you want and what it will take to get there.

What We Take Care Of

kitchen design and layout

Layout and Design Planning

Before any work starts, we’ll work through the layout with you and plan the renovation properly. That means understanding how you use the space, what’s changing structurally, and making sure every trade is sequenced correctly from day one.

Structural Work and Alterations

If walls are coming down, openings are being widened, or the footprint of the kitchen is changing, we handle all structural work as part of the project. Everything is done to standard and signed off correctly before the fit-out begins.

Plumbing and Re-Plumbing

Relocating a sink, adding an island feed, or re-routing pipework to suit a new layout, our team handles all plumbing works as part of the renovation. No need to source a separate plumber.

Kitchen Renovation FAQs

Kitchen renovation costs vary depending on the size of the space, the scope of work involved, and the materials and finishes specified. A straightforward update to an existing layout will sit in a different range to a full reconfiguration with structural work. The only way to give you an accurate figure is to see the kitchen, which is why we offer a free on-site quote. Get in touch and we'll come out, assess what's involved, and give you a clear breakdown.
Most kitchen renovations take between two and six weeks depending on the scope of work. A straightforward fit-out with no structural changes will move faster than a full reconfiguration. We'll give you a realistic timeframe at the quoting stage so you know what to plan around.
In most cases, no. Internal kitchen renovations typically fall under exempted development and don't require planning permission. If your project involves structural changes that affect the external appearance of the property, it may be a different matter. We'll flag anything relevant at the consultation stage.
In most cases yes, though it depends on the scale of the work and how central the kitchen is to your day to day routine. We'll talk through what to expect at the consultation stage so you can plan accordingly.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a renovation typically refers to updating or improving an existing kitchen, while a remodel usually involves more significant changes to the layout or structure of the space. In practice, IVCG handle both. If you've been searching for kitchen remodel contractors in Cork, you're in the right place.
