Kitchen Renovator Mansfield - All Your Kitchen Renovation Needs By Kudos Kitchens - Your Trusted Kitchen Remodelling Contractor
A Message from Michael and Emma
Hi there! We're Michael and Emma, the faces behind Kudos Kitchens. Back in 2022, during those tough Covid days, we noticed something that just wasn't right – folks in Mansfield were getting stuck with shoddy kitchen work. We saw crooked cabinets, dodgy electricals, and worktops installed so poorly they needed costly fixes.
That's why we started Kudos Kitchens – to give local homeowners a better option. As a family-run business (with five kids and Cooper, our springer spaniel 'complaint department manager'), we take the time to work closely with each customer. No rush jobs, no cutting corners.
Our Mansfield showroom is a place where you can come see and feel the quality of our work. Since we're not a massive corporate company, we can give you proper attention and care from start to finish.
Our Kitchen Renovation Process
Initial Chat and Home Visit
It all starts with a friendly chat. We'll visit your home in Mansfield or nearby, see your current kitchen, and listen to what you want. No pushy sales talk – just genuine advice and ideas.
Michael says: "I don't like to boast or criticize others' work unless I'm sure we can deliver something better. We'll be honest about what's possible within your space and budget."
Design and Planning
Emma says: "I'm all about honest communication and making sure our clients are fully informed and comfortable with their decisions. If we don't have the answer immediately, I'm dedicated to researching and providing the right one."
We'll create detailed designs for your kitchen, including:
- Cabinet layouts and styles
- Worktop options
- Colour schemes and finishes
- Appliance placements
- Lighting plans
We use the latest kitchen design software to help you visualize your new space.
Selecting Materials and Finishes
This is where your kitchen really starts to take shape! We'll help you choose from:
- Door styles (from modern gloss to traditional shaker)
- Colour options (including the latest on-trend colours or classic choices)
- Worktop materials (laminate, solid timber, quartz)
- Hardware and handles
- Splashbacks and tiles
- Appliances and fixtures
Our showroom in Mansfield has examples of many options so you can see and feel the quality for yourself.
Installation
Our skilled team handles everything:
- Removal of old kitchen (if needed)
- Any building work
- Electrical and plumbing
- Gas safety
- Cabinet installation
- Worktop fitting
- Appliance connection
- Finishing touches
Unlike some companies that use random contractors, we have a consistent team who work to our high standards. Most kitchen installations take between 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity.
Final Reveal and Aftercare
We don't just finish and leave. We'll make sure you're 100% happy with your new kitchen and show you how everything works. And if you have any issues down the line, we're just a phone call away.

Kitchen Renovation Questions Answered
Kitchen renovation costs really vary depending on what you want. In Mansfield, a basic kitchen makeover with new doors and worktops might start around £3,000-£5,000. For a mid-range full renovation with new cabinets and some appliances, you're looking at £8,000-£15,000. High-end kitchens with premium materials and built-in appliances can cost £20,000+.
We work with all budgets and can help you decide where to spend and where to save. We give honest, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what you're getting.
It depends on the size of the job. A simple kitchen makeover might take just 2-3 days. A standard renovation usually takes 1-2 weeks from removing the old kitchen to having the new one fully functional.
More complex jobs involving building work, moving walls, or changing utilities might take 3-4 weeks. We always try to minimise disruption and can discuss temporary kitchen setups if needed.
Most kitchen renovations don't need planning permission if you're not changing the structure of your home. However, if you're extending your property, removing walls, or making major changes to the layout, you might need planning permission or building regulations approval.
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, there may be additional restrictions. We can advise on this during our initial visit and help with any paperwork if needed.
In our experience working across Mansfield, these upgrades tend to add the most value:
- Quality worktops - especially quartz or solid timber
- Good storage solutions that maximise space
- Energy-efficient appliances
- A kitchen island (if space allows)
- Good lighting - both task and ambient
Remember though, the most valuable renovation is one that works for you while you live in the house. We'll help you balance resale value with your own needs.
Absolutely! The kitchen is the heart of the home and a well-designed, functional kitchen can transform how you live. It's often the first thing buyers look at if you ever sell your home, too.
Many of our customers in Mansfield tell us their new kitchen has changed family life - they cook more, spend more time together, and enjoy the space rather than feeling frustrated by it.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but generally:
A kitchen renovation usually means updating the look and feel of your kitchen without major structural changes - new cabinets, worktops, appliances, etc.
A kitchen remodel typically involves more substantial changes, like removing walls, changing the layout, moving plumbing or gas lines, or extending the space.
At Kudos Kitchens, we can handle both renovations and remodels, depending on what you need
