Design, Construction & Finishing Works
Internal Strip-Out & Preparation
The existing kitchen area was carefully prepared for renovation, including removal of outdated elements and full readiness works for new finishes. This stage ensures the space is clean, level, and structurally sound before services and installation begin. Proper preparation is essential for a high-quality fit and long-term durability.
Wall and Surface Upgrades
Walls and surfaces were brought up to a clean modern standard, with preparation work completed to support new finishes. This ensures the final kitchen looks crisp and consistent, with smooth lines and proper detailing around openings, corners, and joinery.

Client Feedback
“Thank you so much to Castle Masons Builders for a job well done. I couldn’t recommend Ned and his merry band highly enough. Everyone who took part in the job was so easy to deal with and carried out their work to the highest standard. Ned kept in touch the whole way through and was always available for advice. I now have a beautiful apartment from what was 3 old stables.”

Frequently asked questions
How long does a kitchen renovation usually take?
Most kitchen renovations take a few weeks depending on the scale of works, availability of materials, and whether plumbing or electrical upgrades are required.

It helps to confirm your preferred layout, appliance positions, lighting plan, and finish choices early. This keeps the build efficient and reduces mid-project changes.
