Apartment kitchens · High-rise blocks · Old town
In Benidorm the kitchen is usually a small room high up in a busy block, and that shapes how the whole job is planned before a single unit is ordered.
Most of the Benidorm kitchens we are asked about sit in apartments: compact rooms, often galley-shaped, with a window onto a light well or a balcony door alongside. There is rarely a spare centimetre, so the design stage is mostly about what to keep, what to shrink and what to remove altogether.
Building access matters as much as the layout. Lifts, shared corridors and loading arrangements decide how units, worktops and appliances reach the flat, and the old kitchen has to leave the same way. We plan deliveries and strip-out around the block instead of discovering its limits on the day.
Older homes in the old town are a different job, with uneven walls and services that have been altered more than once. In both cases the plumbing, electrics, tiling and painting are done by our own people, and owners who live abroad receive photographs as the work moves along.
High-rise living
A tower block kitchen is built around its service stacks. Waste and water risers sit in fixed places, which limits how far a sink can move without opening floors or ceilings. We look at the stack first and design outwards from it, so the layout you are shown is one that can actually be built.
Gloss and handleless fronts suit these rooms because they bounce light around and keep the lines uncluttered. Tall units along one wall free the opposite wall for an unbroken worktop, which gives more preparation space than a scattering of low cupboards.
Neighbours are part of the plan too. We keep working hours considerate, protect shared areas, and let the community administrator know what is happening where the block expects that.
Opening up
Many Benidorm apartments were laid out with a closed kitchen at the back. Replacing that wall with a breakfast bar or a wide opening changes the whole flat, bringing in daylight and making a modest living space feel larger.
Before any wall comes down we establish what it is made of and whether it carries anything. In a block that deserves proper investigation, and the community’s rules need checking as well. We handle both, and the making good afterwards.
Once the wall is open the room needs fresh lighting, a revised floor, plaster and paint, so kitchen, living area and decoration are priced and programmed as one piece of work.
Old town homes
Smaller older houses in the old town tend to have thick walls, low ceilings and floors that are not quite level. Bespoke units earn their place there, cut to the room instead of padded out with filler panels.
Pipework and wiring in such houses has often been added to over decades. We expose it, tell you what we find, and renew what needs renewing while the walls are open.
Narrow streets can limit vehicle access, so carrying routes and skip positions are worked out at the survey rather than left to chance.
How it works
We visit, measure and look at the building as well as the room: the risers, the access, the community’s expectations. From that we draw a layout, agree finishes and give you a written quotation, which costs nothing. Supplier visits let you handle units, worktops and tiles before you decide.
The work then follows one programme, with strip-out, first fix, plastering, tiling, units, worktops and final connections in the right order. A single contact manages it in English or Spanish, and photographs are sent if you are not in Spain. The work is guaranteed, with the scope set out in your quotation.
Questions
Yes. Apartments are the most common kitchen job we see in Benidorm. We plan lifts, deliveries and strip-out around the block and keep the community informed where that is needed.
Often it can, once we have checked what the wall is made of and what it carries. We investigate first, then price the opening and the making good as part of the kitchen.
Yes. Our own plumbers and electricians do them, so they sit on the same programme as the units and the tiling.
Yes, many owners do. You receive photographs and updates by phone, and decisions can be made from home once the design is agreed.
