The kitchen is the room you live in most, and when it stops working for you, the whole house feels it. Doors that don't shut, worktops you've outgrown, a layout that made sense for the people who lived here before you but not for you. A kitchen renovation puts that right.
C&W General Building are experienced kitchen fitters working across St Neots, Eynesbury, Great Paxton and the wider Cambridgeshire area. We don't just install units, we handle the building work behind them too, so walls, plumbing, electrics and the kitchen itself all come from one team.
Recent kitchens include a full renovation in St Neots for a returning customer, a refit with structural changes in Abbotsley, and a St Neots kitchen diner where we took out a load-bearing wall.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in St Neots?
A kitchen renovation in the St Neots area typically costs between £10,000 and £30,000, including units, worktops, appliances and all the building work. Where you land depends on the size of the room, the range of units, the worktop material, and whether you're changing the layout or knocking through to another room.
Plenty of kitchen fitters only install the units and leave the building work to someone else. We do both. That means one team is responsible for the whole job, and you're not left chasing a separate builder, plumber and electrician when something needs coordinating.

Common questions about kitchen fitting and renovation in St Neots
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in St Neots?
Most kitchen renovations in the St Neots and Huntingdon area cost between £10,000 and £30,000, covering units, worktops, appliances and the building work. The size of the room, the finish and whether you change the layout are the main factors. We give you an itemised quote before any work starts.
Are you kitchen fitters, or do you do the building work too?
Both. Unlike a lot of kitchen fitters, we handle the full job: structural work, plastering, electrics, plumbing and the kitchen fit, all with one team. That means nothing falls between a separate builder and fitter, and one company stands behind the whole result.
Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?
Yes. Opening a kitchen into a dining or living room is one of the most common things we're asked for in St Neots homes. Where the wall is load-bearing we install a steel beam and get the structural work signed off under building regulations as part of the project.
Do I need planning permission or building regulations for a kitchen renovation?
A straightforward kitchen refit in the same footprint usually needs neither. If you remove a load-bearing wall, add an extension, or make significant changes to drainage, building regulations approval is required, and we handle that for you. Planning permission is rarely needed unless the room is part of a larger extension.
Can I supply my own kitchen and have you fit it?
Yes. Plenty of our clients buy their units from a kitchen supplier or a showroom and bring us in to do the building work and the fit. We're happy to work that way, and we'll flag anything in the design that's likely to cause a problem before fitting day.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A like-for-like refit usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. A larger renovation involving a wall removal, new layout or rewiring typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. We agree the schedule up front and keep you posted as the work moves along.
