The inside of our three bedroom apartment was totally refurbished by La Manga Builders. Windows, doors, floors, two bathrooms and kitchen replaced and bedrooms and lounge updated, with an old spiral staircase replaced with a modern open staircase. Work was carried out to a very high standard and to schedule, with any follow up remedial work quickly resolved by Liam, the Owner. We were extremely happy with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend LMB.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

Complete kitchen renovations typically take 3-5 weeks from start to finish. Simple kitchen refreshes (new doors and worktops) can be completed in 1-2 weeks. Complex projects with structural work (open-plan conversions) may take 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed timelines in your quotation showing each phase of work.

Your kitchen will be out of service during renovation. Most clients:

  • Set up a temporary kitchen in another room (microwave, kettle, toaster)
  • Eat out more frequently
  • Use BBQ for cooking
  • Time renovation around holidays/trips
  • Stay with family/friends

We work efficiently to minimise the time your kitchen is unavailable. For kitchen refreshes, keeping the existing layout, disruption can be shorter.

Yes! Professional kitchen design is included with our complete renovation service. We create detailed 3D visualisations showing exactly how your new kitchen will look, including:
