The kitchen is the heart of the home. It is no longer just a place to prepare food; it is where families gather, where guests are entertained, and where the day begins and ends. At Ridge Group Contracting, we understand that a kitchen needs to be as functional as it is beautiful. Whether you desire a sleek, handle-less modern design or a timeless, shaker-style farmhouse kitchen, we provide a comprehensive kitchen installation service across Brighton, Hove, and East Sussex. We manage the entire project from concept to completion, ensuring a stress-free experience and a showroom-quality finish.
Installing a new kitchen involves far more than just hanging cabinets. It requires the coordination of multiple trades, including plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling, and carpentry. We act as your single point of contact, managing this complex workflow so you don’t have to.
Every great kitchen starts with a smart design. We work with you to maximise every inch of space. In Brighton’s varied housing stock—from compact city flats to sprawling detached homes—space planning is essential. We help you configure the “working triangle” (the relationship between the sink, cooker, and fridge) to ensure an ergonomic layout. We can advise on the removal of walls to create open-plan kitchen-diners, a service we frequently perform to modernise older properties.
We handle the removal and disposal of your old kitchen in an environmentally responsible manner. Once the room is stripped back, we assess the “first fix” requirements. This includes chasing walls for new electrical sockets, moving plumbing for sinks or dishwashers, and ensuring the walls are perfectly flat and plastered, ready for the new units.
We install kitchens from a wide range of manufacturers, or we can provide bespoke joinery for a truly unique look.
Contemporary Kitchens: Clean lines, high-gloss or matte finishes, and integrated appliances define the modern look. We specialise in installing quartz or Corian worktops and glass splashbacks that reflect light and create a sense of space.
Traditional & Shaker Kitchens: Perfect for the period properties found throughout Sussex. These kitchens feature framed doors, timber worktops, and classic hardware (cup handles and knobs). We can incorporate features like range cookers, butler sinks, and pantries.
Industrial Style: Exposed brickwork, metal shelving, and concrete-effect worktops are increasingly popular in Brighton’s urban lofts and conversions.
A kitchen is a high-functioning workspace, and the infrastructure must be sound.
Electrics: We upgrade your circuits to handle modern appliances, install task lighting under cabinets, and fit stylish pendant lights over islands. All work is certified to current safety standards.
Plumbing: From installing boiling water taps to connecting American-style fridge freezers, our plumbers ensure leak-free, high-pressure connections.
Flooring: The kitchen floor takes a lot of traffic. We install durable, water-resistant flooring options such as luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), porcelain tiles, or engineered wood that can withstand the rigours of daily life.
We believe the difference is in the detail. A poorly fitted kitchen shows its age quickly—doors become misaligned, worktop joints swell, and trims peel away. Our carpenters are perfectionists. We use laser levels to ensure cabinets are perfectly true, we scribe end panels to match uneven walls seamlessly, and we use high-quality adhesives and fixings.
A new kitchen is one of the top home improvements for adding value to a property. In the competitive Brighton property market, a high-spec kitchen can be the deciding factor for potential buyers. By choosing Ridge Group Contracting, you are investing in quality craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
