Before choosing cabinet fronts and worktops, look at what makes the current kitchen difficult to use. Is there enough preparation space? Do open doors obstruct the walkway? Is storage positioned where you need it?
Obra Lisboa renovates kitchens in Greater Lisbon, considering these everyday needs alongside equipment, services and finishes. Clarify whether you want to refresh the room, reorganise its layout or connect it with another living area. Each brief leads to a different scope of work.
A measured plan and a list of appliances you want to keep help frame the proposal. Water, drainage and electrical points need to be considered with the cabinetry, worktop and lighting. A late change can affect several trades, so these decisions belong in the planning discussion.
When comparing finishes, consider cleaning, worktop junctions and transitions to adjacent flooring. Establish which items the works include and which you will select or supply separately. The proposal should identify installation tasks and finishing details, including coordination with carpentry.
Do I need to replace every cabinet and appliance?
Not necessarily. Tell us which items you want to retain. Whether they can be incorporated depends on their condition, dimensions and compatibility with the proposed layout. This needs to be assessed when the scope is defined.
Can I move the sink or change appliance positions?
The proposed positions need to be reviewed against the existing services and the room itself. Plans and photographs support an initial discussion, but they do not establish the feasibility of a change on their own.
In your initial enquiry, describe the current kitchen, the practical difficulties and the features you would like to keep.
