Kitchens in Kirkintilloch and Bishopbriggs: what we usually find
1930s bungalows and semis (Bishopbriggs, Cadder, Kenmure)
Bishopbriggs has some of the best 1930s bungalow stock in Glasgow — hipped roofs, bay windows and a kitchen that was built for one person at a time. The usual plan is to take the kitchen into the dining room (load-bearing wall, steel beam, warrant) or into a rear extension, and to add a utility where the old back porch was. We also see a lot of loft-converted bungalows where the kitchen is being brought up to the standard of the rest of the house.
1960s–1980s estates (Kirkintilloch Hillhead, Harestanes, Waterside, Lenzie Moss, Auchinairn)
Good-sized kitchens with dated layouts: a door in every wall, a peninsula nobody wanted, electrics from the original build. Typical job is a full strip-out, kitchen rewire with new circuits for induction and integrated appliances, replaster, and a U-shape or island layout. Timber-frame construction in some estates means we check where the load goes before any wall comes out.
Victorian and Edwardian villas (Lenzie, Kirkintilloch Union Street area)
Large houses with the kitchen in the original back-of-house position, high ceilings and sometimes a cellar below. Lenzie villas often get a side-return extension with the kitchen moved into it — we build the extension and fit the kitchen under one contract. Original features are kept where they survive.
New-build (Woodilee, Kirkintilloch Gateway, Bishopbriggs new estates)
Replacing the developer kitchen after 10–15 years. Easy services, the main decision is layout and finish, and matching or replacing the open-plan flooring.
What a kitchen renovation in Kirkintilloch includes
- Strip-out and disposal of the old kitchen, tiles and flooring
- Structural work where the layout changes — wall removal with steel, new openings, chimney breast removal — with drawings and the building warrant handled by us
- First-fix plumbing and electrics: moving the sink, new circuits for the hob, oven and appliances, under-cabinet lighting, extractor ducting
- Plastering — skim, dot-and-dab or full re-board on old lath-and-plaster
- Kitchen fitting: units, worktops (laminate, quartz, granite), splashback tiling, sink and taps, appliance connection
- Flooring and decoration so you get a finished room, not a fitted kitchen in a building site
The kitchen units and appliances are supplied by you — from Wren, Howdens, IKEA, B&Q or Magnet — or we can arrange them through Wren or Howdens on your behalf. Our price covers labour and building materials: plaster, plasterboard, pipework, cable, timber, adhesives, fixings. Everything is itemised line by line, so you see exactly what each part costs.

How the job runs
- Site visit — we measure, check walls, services and floor, and talk through the layout
- Fixed itemised quote within 48 hours, with a start date
- Drawings and warrant if a wall is coming down (4–8 weeks with the council — we start the paperwork straight away)
- On site: strip-out → structural → first fix → plaster → flooring → units and worktops → tiling and decoration. A straightforward refit is 2–3 weeks; an open-plan knock-through 4–6 weeks
- Sign-off: walk-round together, snagging, completion certificate where there was a warrant — then the final payment

Frequently asked questions
From £7,000 for labour and building materials with the units supplied by you. A like-for-like refit is typically £7,000–£9,500, moving services £9,000–£13,000, a kitchen-diner knock-through with steel £14,000–£22,000. Fitting only from £2,500.
For removing a load-bearing wall, yes — with a structural engineer’s design for the steel. We prepare the drawings and submit the application; East Dunbartonshire typically takes 4–8 weeks. A like-for-like refit with no structural change does not need one.
Yes — under one contract. The extension is priced to a decorated, floored shell (see our extension cost guide) and the kitchen fit-out is a separate itemised section of the same quote.
A refit is 2–3 weeks on site; a knock-through 4–6 weeks plus the warrant period. We give you a start date with the quote.
Wren, Howdens, IKEA, B&Q, Magnet and Wickes most often. We can also arrange the kitchen through Wren or Howdens for you and add it to the quote.
