Turning your kitchen dreams into reality shouldn't give you sleepless nights. With over 20 years of experience working in homes across Derby and Derbyshire, we take the stress out of kitchen renovations by handling everything for you - from the first sketch to the final lightbulb.
Our kitchen project management service means you get a stunning new kitchen without juggling different tradespeople, chasing deliveries, or worrying about whether your plumber and electrician are talking to each other.
The Derby Kitchen Fitter Project Management Approach
We don't just fit kitchens - we transform how you experience your home. Our tried-and-tested approach keeps your project running smoothly from start to finish:
- Getting to know you and your kitchen dreams - We sit down over a cuppa and listen to what you want from your new kitchen. We'll ask about how you use your space, what frustrates you about your current setup, and what would make cooking and living in your kitchen more enjoyable.
- Design and planning that puts you first - Our kitchen designers work with you to create a layout that fits your lifestyle, not the other way around. We don't rush this bit - we take time to get the details right so your kitchen works for you for years to come.
- Picking the perfect materials - From cabinets to worktops, splashbacks to handles, we help you choose materials that look beautiful and stand up to daily life. We work with trusted suppliers to get you quality products without breaking the bank.
- Bringing in the right people at the right time - Our team of qualified fitters, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, and decorators are coordinated by your dedicated project manager, who makes sure everyone knows what they're doing and when.
- Setting a realistic timeline and sticking to it - We won't promise you the impossible, but we will give you a clear schedule and do everything we can to keep to it. We know that living without a kitchen is tough, so we plan carefully to minimise disruption.
- Keeping you in the loop - Your project manager will update you regularly on progress, answer your questions, and address any concerns. No more chasing people for information - we come to you.
- Checking and double-checking quality - We inspect work at every stage to catch any issues before they become problems. Our standards are high because we want you to love your kitchen for years to come.
- The final once-over - Before we consider the job done, we'll go through your new kitchen with you to make sure everything's perfect. If there's anything that's not quite right, we'll sort it out straight away.
Kitchen Renovator Derby: What Sets Us Apart
There are lots of kitchen companies in Derby, but not all offer true project management. Here's why our approach is different:
We're locally based, not a national chain - We know Derby inside out. We understand the quirks of local properties, from Victorian terraces in Littleover to modern homes in Oakwood. This local knowledge means we can anticipate challenges and solve problems faster.
One company for everything - Unlike many kitchen suppliers who just sell you the units and leave you to sort out the fitting, we take care of the whole process. No need to find separate plumbers, electricians, or decorators - we bring our trusted team with us.
Our own skilled team, not random subcontractors - Our tradespeople work with us regularly and understand our quality standards. They're not just random names from a jobs board - they're professionals we know and trust.
Clear, honest pricing - We don't do bait-and-switch tactics or hidden costs. Our quotes include everything, so you know exactly what you're paying for. If something unexpected comes up during the work, we discuss it with you before making any decisions that might affect the price.
A personal touch from start to finish - Your project manager isn't just a name on an email - they're a real person who'll be on site regularly, checking progress and making sure everything's going to plan. They're your one point of contact throughout the project.

Our Comprehensive Project Management Process
Here's how we'll handle your kitchen renovation from start to finish:
Week 1: Planning and design We'll visit your home, take measurements, and talk through your ideas. Our designer will create detailed plans and 3D visuals so you can see exactly what your new kitchen will look like.
Week 2: Finalising details and ordering Once you're happy with the design, we'll place orders for all the materials and arrange delivery dates. We'll also create a detailed schedule for the work.
Week 3: Preparation Before any kitchen units arrive, we'll prepare your space. This might involve removing your old kitchen, making any structural changes, and getting the room ready for its new look.
Weeks 4-5: Installation This is when the transformation really happens. First fix plumbing and electrics, followed by units, worktops, and appliances. We'll coordinate all the different trades so work flows smoothly.
Week 6: Finishing touches Final decorating, any small adjustments, and a thorough clean. We'll then do a final check with you to make sure everything's perfect.
Of course, every kitchen is different, and some projects might take more or less time depending on the complexity. We'll give you a personalised timeline during the planning phase.
If unexpected issues crop up - like discovering dodgy wiring behind a wall or finding a hidden leak - we don't panic. We've seen it all before and know how to adapt our plans to deal with surprises while keeping your project on track.
Quality is built into every stage of our process. From checking the alignment of units to testing taps and appliances, we don't consider a job finished until everything is working perfectly.
Kitchen Project Management Tools We Use
To keep your kitchen renovation running smoothly, we use a mix of traditional skills and modern tech:
Digital planning tools - Our kitchen design software creates accurate plans and realistic 3D visuals so you can see how your new kitchen will look. It also helps us create precise cutting lists for worktops and other materials to minimise waste.
Project tracking software - We use digital tools to schedule work, track deliveries, and make sure everyone knows when they're needed on site.
Regular photo updates - We document progress with photos, which we can share with you if you're not able to visit the site regularly. This is especially useful if you're away during part of the renovation.
Detailed checklists - Our experienced team works through comprehensive quality control checklists at every stage of the project to make sure nothing is missed.
Good old-fashioned notebooks - Sometimes the simplest methods are the best. Our project managers keep detailed notes of decisions, changes, and special requirements to make sure everything is remembered and acted on.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Project Management
What does kitchen project management include in Derby?
Our kitchen project management service covers everything from initial design to final handover. This includes planning, ordering materials, coordinating trades (plumbers, electricians, tilers, etc.), quality control, and solving any problems that arise. We also handle all the admin such as building regulations if needed.
Do I need to hire separate tradespeople for my kitchen renovation?
No, that's the beauty of our service. We bring our own team of trusted professionals, including fitters, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, decorators, and even builders if needed. You don't need to find, vet, or manage any separate tradespeople.
How long does a typical kitchen renovation take in Derby?
Most kitchen renovations take between 3-6 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Simple kitchen replacements might be quicker, while projects involving structural changes, relocating services, or building extensions will take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote.
How do kitchen fitters coordinate with other trades?
As your project manager, we schedule all the different trades to make sure they arrive at the right time and in the right order. For example, we'll make sure the electrician has completed the first fix work before the plasterer starts, and that the painter doesn't arrive until the tiler has finished. Our tradespeople are used to working together, which helps everything run smoothly.
Who handles permits and regulations for kitchen renovations in Derby?
We take care of this for you. If your project requires building regulations approval (for example, if you're moving gas or electrical points), we'll make the necessary applications and ensure all work complies with current regulations. Our electricians and gas engineers are fully certified and will provide the relevant safety certificates.
What happens if there are delays in my kitchen renovation project?
While we plan carefully to avoid delays, sometimes things happen that are beyond our control - such as unexpected supplier issues or discovering problems when we remove your old kitchen. If there are any delays, your project manager will let you know straight away, explain the reasons, and adjust the schedule to lower the impact. We're always transparent about timeframes.
How often will I receive updates during my renovation?
Your project manager will check in with you at least once a day when work is happening, usually at the end of the day to review progress and discuss any decisions that need to be made. If you can't be on site, we can update you by phone, text, or email - whatever works best for you.
What contingency plans are in place for renovation issues?
We build flexibility into our schedules to allow for unexpected problems. Our experienced team has seen most issues before and knows how to solve them efficiently. If we discover a serious problem, we'll discuss the options with you before proceeding. We also maintain good relationships with specialist contractors who can help with unusual issues if needed.
Who is my main point of contact during a kitchen renovation?
You'll have a dedicated project manager who oversees your renovation from start to finish. They'll be your main point of contact for any questions or concerns. Our project managers are experienced professionals who understand every aspect of kitchen installation.
How are changes to the original plan handled during the project?
We understand that sometimes you might want to make changes once work has started. Small changes are usually no problem, but bigger alterations might affect the timeline or budget. If you want to make changes, just talk to your project manager. They'll explain what's involved and any impact on time or cost, so you can make an informed decision.
