Sort and Declutter Kitchen
Decluttering the area is a good way to start preparing for your renovation. Over time, we accumulate a lot of things in our kitchen that we no longer need. It’s time to get rid of any excess utensils or broken items, such as plates and appliances.
Sort the items into piles for donation, recycling, sale and waste.
Start as soon as you can. It will be much easier to complete it in small, manageable pieces over time, as opposed to in one afternoon.
Pack Up Kitchen
Then, pack the items that you wish to keep. You should set aside a space for the items you will use regularly. Think about the items you use regularly, such as non-perishable snacks, drinks and dried foods, and enough cups, plates, mugs and utensils to serve each person. Do not forget storage containers, foil or clingfilm.
During the renovation, it is best to use disposable plates and cups.
At this point, don’t forget to remove any secured items, such as blinds, wall mounted clocks, photographs, or other collectibles.
Pack all non-essentials in a box with a label, and then group them together. It will protect your items and make it easier to unpack them after your kitchen renovation. For Kitchen Refurbishment, contact thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk/
Arrange a Temporary Kitchen
It’s best to have a temporary kitchen unless you intend to eat at restaurants during the renovation.
You can do this by moving your microwave, fridge and freezer into another room to store and cook the food. Take a coffee maker, a toaster and a slow cooker, as well as any other kitchen appliances that are easily portable. This should be close to a source of water if possible.
Include other essentials like paper towels, bin bags, washing-up fluid, cloths, and sponges.
If you don’t have the space to build a temporary kitchen or the means to do so, ask a friend, neighbour or family member if they will allow you to use theirs during your renovation. You can also plan your next holiday to coincide with the renovation.
Make sure it’s child and pet-safe
During your kitchen renovations, you will need to make sure that the home is as safe as it can be for children and pets. Restrict access to the area where the work is being done, especially when it’s happening. Consider hiring a pet-sitter or a babysitter for those who are affected by the noise and disruption.
