Kitchen renovation, with or without opening it up.

A complete kitchen on the Costa del Sol normally costs between €7,000 and €14,000, depending on units, worktop and appliances, and takes three to four weeks including the lead time for the furniture. Opening it up to the living room is what we are asked for most in the area, and it always requires checking first whether the wall is load-bearing.

What is included

What the price covers.

  • Demolition of the existing kitchen and rubble removal
  • Electrics sized for every appliance
  • Plumbing for sink and dishwasher and washing machine connections
  • Wall and floor tiling
  • Made-to-measure units, worktop and sink
  • Extractor hood with its flue
  • Appliance installation and finishing

What to look at

Details that change a job.

Opening the kitchen to the living room

Before promising it, you have to know whether that wall is load-bearing. If it is, that does not mean it cannot be done: it means reinforcement, a technical project and a major works permit are needed, and the price and timeline change.

The flue dictates the layout

It is what most constrains where the hob can go. If there is no duct to the shaft, you either recirculate or find a route, and that is decided during the visit, not once the units are already fitted.

Properly sized electrics

Oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave running at once do not fit into the installation of a seventies flat. It is the item most often underestimated in a kitchen renovation.

How we work

Three steps and a delivery date.

  1. Visit within 48 h

    We measure and check the consumer unit, the pipework and what is under the tiles. Everything visible during the visit is included in the price.

  2. Fixed quote within 48 h

    Every item measured, materials by brand, timeline by week and payment by milestones. We walk you through it on the phone, item by item.

  3. Work by our own crew

    The same workers you see in the videos. We send you the progress every week and deliver on the signed date.

Common questions

What people ask before signing.

How much does it cost to renovate a flat in Marbella?

It depends on four concrete things: the size and condition of the property, what is behind the walls (if the wiring is 30 years old, all of it goes), how many bathrooms and kitchens are involved — that is where half the budget of a full renovation goes — and the quality of the materials you choose. That is why we do not quote over the phone: we come, measure and give it to you in writing, item by item, within 48 hours, free and with no obligation. A quote given blind is the one that later overruns.

What exactly does “fixed price” mean?

It means the amount you sign in the quote is the amount you pay when the work is finished. The quote includes every item measured, materials by brand (or equivalent), the timeline by week and payment by milestones. Anything we detect during the visit — consumer unit, pipework, visible damp — is already included in the price: that is why we look so carefully before quoting.

What if something unexpected comes up during the works?

It is quoted separately, in writing, and you decide whether it goes ahead. No surprise invoice appears at the end. A genuine unexpected issue is something that cannot be seen during the visit: a damaged joist under the floor or a broken soil pipe inside a wall. Anything visible during the visit is not unexpected — it is part of the fixed price.

How is the renovation paid for?

By milestones: part at the start, part halfway through and the rest on delivery, once you have seen it finished. The usual split is 30 % at the start, 40 % halfway and 30 % on completion, and it is written into the quote. You never pay everything up front.

How long does a full renovation take?

A full renovation of an 80–100 m² flat usually takes between 8 and 10 weeks if the property is empty. If you are living there it takes longer, because the work has to be done in phases. The quote includes the delivery date in writing, not an estimate: we plan week by week and show you the progress in each one.

Do I need a permit to renovate?

For interior work that does not touch the structure or the façade, a responsible declaration or a minor works permit is usually enough in Costa del Sol municipalities. If the structure is affected, openings are made in load-bearing walls or the façade is altered, a major works permit and a technical project are required. We handle the paperwork and it is included in the quote.
