Kitchen Renovation in Lagos

Planning a kitchen renovation in Lagos

Plan the layout before fabrication

Kitchen cabinets are often one of the largest costs in a renovation, so the layout should be settled before fabrication begins. Confirm the positions of the sink, cooker, refrigerator, sockets, water points and major appliances. Moving these after cabinets have been made can lead to unnecessary alterations.

Think about heat, ventilation and durability

Lagos kitchens can become hot and humid, particularly where cooking is frequent and ventilation is limited. Consider extractor ventilation, easy-to-clean finishes and cabinet materials suitable for the environment. Areas around sinks and wet worktops also need careful sealing to reduce swelling and water damage.

Access affects the job

Apartment and estate projects may have restrictions on noisy work, lift use, parking or material deliveries. Large worktops, cabinet panels and appliances can also be difficult to move through narrow staircases or corridors. Measuring access routes before fabrication or delivery can prevent avoidable delays.

Compare the full scope

Confirm whether the contractor is pricing only cabinetry or the complete renovation. Tiling, plumbing, lighting, sockets, painting, worktops, backsplashes and appliance installation may be separate items.
