Strip-out & clearance
The old kitchen removed, the rest of the home protected, rubble and old appliances cleared before anything new is connected.
In Schoten, each completed stage is inspected against the agreed work before the next trade begins, keeping decisions clear throughout the renovation.

Refine with 3 photosIndicative Belgian market ranges for 2026 — this is not our price list. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after the free site visit, and it doesn't change after that. The 6% rate applies to homes occupied for more than 10 years, used mainly as a private residence, with materials invoiced by the contractor.
One point of contact for plumbing, wiring, tiling and fitting the units. We do not run a chain of subcontractors above your project.
The written sequence decides what follows each completed stage, so the work in Schoten can be checked before another trade starts. During the visit, we note the kitchen renovation requirements and record the agreed scope in a written quote. Work proceeds from that document, with transitions reviewed rather than assumed. If an opening reveals a finding outside the agreed scope, it is priced in a written addendum for your approval.
The old kitchen removed, the rest of the home protected, rubble and old appliances cleared before anything new is connected.
Moving the water inlet or the drain to match your new layout: possible in most cases, unless the distance to the soil stack forces a rethink of the layout.
A separate line for the oven and hob, a consumer unit sized for it, wired to AREI/RGIE code: our electricians are on our payroll, not passing subcontractors.
Working out where the hood actually vents, through the wall or the roof depending on the layout, with ducting sized to actually clear the air, not just spin.
Taking down a non-load-bearing wall, or fitting a steel beam when the span needs it: a structural check before pricing, never after demolition.
Screed, tiling, paint, worktop cut for the sink and hob, units fitted: in that order, so the tiles are never laid twice.
The price is fixed at step 3. After that, it does not move without your signature.
A call, or photos over WhatsApp: current layout, position of the sink, the consumer unit and the hood. We tell you straight away if the project fits what we do, and if it does not, we tell you that too.

The ranges the market charges in 2026, published as they stand. Your quote may fall below or above them — it will be calculated, not estimated.
Indicative Belgian market ranges for 2026 — not an Alpha Services price list. Amounts excl. VAT. Fixed quote confirmed before work begins.
Five provinces, one Flemish planning permit system (omgevingsvergunning) — but rules that have already shifted twice since early 2026.
Measurements recorded before work begins are marked against the exposed structure and checked again once access allows direct inspection. Any difference is explained in writing before the next stage is confirmed.
The 5 provinces we cover
Since 1 March 2026, most interior work is exempt from Flanders' single environmental and building permit (omgevingsvergunning) and from any notification requirement, provided the building's volume doesn't change and its energy performance doesn't worsen. Some municipalities keep a local permit requirement, but only for a limited list set by the Flemish government. Where a permit is still needed, expect 60 days under the simplified procedure or 105 to 120 days under the standard one, with a possible 60-day extension.
Since 2023, anyone buying a home with an EPC label of E or F must renovate it to at least label D within a legal deadline — 5 to 6 years depending on the purchase date; check the exact cut-off on energiesparen.be. Missing the label risks a fine of €500 to €5,000, repeatable every year until the label is reached. This is already in force in Flanders, while Brussels and Wallonia won't introduce a comparable obligation until 2028.
Since 1 March 2026, the two highest income brackets can no longer claim Mijn VerbouwPremie for most works — only for a heat pump or a thermodynamic boiler, and at a reduced amount: an air-to-water heat pump down from €2,250 to €1,500, a thermodynamic boiler down from €900 to €450. Brackets 3 and 4 keep the previous amounts. Anyone who applied before 1 March 2026 stays under the old conditions.
The EPC-labelpremie has been scrapped for every income bracket, and its transition window — applications until 30 June 2026 for an EPC started before the end of 2025 — is now closed. Only households that activated their EPC through Fluvius before 1 January 2025 remain exempt. Don't count on this grant in a quote drawn up today.
