Kitchen renovation in Essen, from strip-out to a working kitchen
Demolition, plumbing, electrics, tiling and cabinet fitting coordinated by one team, so the layout, appliances and finishes come together as planned in advance.
What our Kitchen renovation service in Essen includes
Fitting a kitchen in Essen touches nearly every trade at once: plumbing for sink and dishwasher, electrics for appliances and lighting, tiling for splashback and floor, and cabinet fitting so doors and worktops line up. Alpha Services coordinates the whole sequence in-house, from stripping out the old kitchen through first-fix plumbing and wiring to final cabinet fitting, so units, worktop and appliances are fitted as one project, not around each other's mistakes.
Strip-out and preparation
Removal of the old kitchen units, worktop and appliances, capping off existing plumbing and wiring safely, and checking walls and floor for damp or damage before the new layout begins.
Plumbing for sink and appliances
Supply and waste pipework routed or relocated for the sink, dishwasher and washing machine, with connections tested for leaks before cabinets and worktop are fitted around them.
Electrics and lighting
Sockets sized for kitchen appliances, dedicated circuits where needed, under-cabinet and ceiling lighting, and extractor hood wiring, positioned to match the agreed layout.
Cabinet and worktop fitting
Base and wall units levelled and fixed, worktop cut and joined around the sink and hob, and doors and drawers adjusted so they close cleanly once everything is installed.
Splashback and floor tiling
Tiling behind the worktop and hob, and floor tiling or other flooring across the kitchen, laid with cuts planned around units and appliances rather than an afterthought.
Appliance connection and handover
Hob, oven, extractor, dishwasher and other appliances connected and tested, cabinet doors and hardware given a final check, and a walk-through so you know how everything works.

Our work in Essen
In Essen we renovate kitchens as one project, plumbing, electrics and cabinets included. Uneven solid floors under old kitchen units frequently need levelling before new cabinets or tiling can sit correctly. Damp or corroded pipework behind old kitchen units is common in cellars and ground floor extensions of older Belgian houses. You are shown the finished kitchen before we leave site, with every appliance tested and properly connected.

Frequently asked questions — Kitchen renovation in Essen
Do I need to choose the kitchen units before you can quote in Essen?
It helps but is not essential. We can give a working quote based on the room size, planned layout and the standard of units and worktop you are considering, then confirm the final price once units are selected. Some clients in Essen choose their own supplier and ask us to handle plumbing, electrics and fitting only, which we are also happy to do.
Can you move the sink or hob to a different wall?
Yes, within the limits of the existing plumbing and ventilation for a gas or extraction system. Moving a sink usually means extending waste and supply pipework, and moving a hob may involve rerouting an extractor duct. We assess feasibility during the site visit and price any relocation clearly in the quote rather than leaving it as a vague extra.
Will I be without a kitchen for the whole renovation?
For most of the strip-out and fitting stage, yes, though we sequence work to reconnect water and a basic cooking point as early as practical if you need to stay in the property. We discuss temporary arrangements with you before work starts so you can plan meals and washing up around the project, and we agree this in the schedule, not on the day.
Do you also fit kitchens in the towns near Essen?
Yes. Alpha Services Benelux takes on kitchen renovation projects in Essen and the surrounding municipalities. Share your postcode when you contact us on 0485 44 55 12 so we can confirm access, parking for deliveries, and scheduling before the site visit.
What happens if you find a problem with the plumbing or wiring once you strip out the old kitchen?
We stop and tell you before continuing rather than covering an issue up behind new units. Old kitchens sometimes hide corroded pipework or wiring that no longer meets current standards, and fixing it properly can affect the schedule and the quote. Any change is explained and agreed with you in writing before the extra work is carried out.
