The kitchen is increasingly becoming the cooking, dining and living space with many people restructuring the huddle of rooms which were once kitchen, utility and dining room into one large, light living space.

Those who like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen or have families will be keen to have a practical and functional kitchen, which may require a large area for dining and entertaining.

Most of us are working to a budget and may want to save money by doing much of the updating ourselves but there are some jobs where you will need the professionals:

Supporting Walls – Don't attempt to knock down walls yourself.
Plastering - If you need any plastering work done don't skimp on this...
Flooring - This is a tricky job and although makeover programmes make it look easy it can look terrible if it is done badly.
Tiling – Often difficult, time consuming and one of the most visible aspects of your kitchen.
Gas and electrics - When moving or changing utility points, make sure you use an approved electrical contractor.
