Kitchen Renovation in Islington.
Space Cucina began as a kitchen company, and kitchens are still at the centre of what we do. We design, supply and fit kitchens across Islington, either on their own or as part of an extension or refurbishment, with the furniture made to measure in Italy or Germany and the worktops, appliances and lighting specified alongside it.
The process starts at your home, with door, worktop and finish samples brought to you. We measure, talk through how you cook and live, and produce a design with drawings and a full specification. Once it is signed off, the kitchen goes into production and arrives six to eight weeks later; fitting, including worktop templating, takes one to two weeks.
Because our own electricians, plumbers and fitters do the work, the practical side, moving services, adding an island, running extraction, is dealt with as part of the design, not discovered on the day.

Islington: the houses and the planning rules.
Islington is Georgian and early Victorian London north of the Angel: flat-fronted brick terraces around the squares of Barnsbury and Canonbury, the grander villas of Highbury Fields, and the canal-side warehouses now converted to apartments. The conservation areas are extensive and many houses are listed.
We have refurbished houses in Highbury and the surrounding streets, and the pattern here is consistent: opening up a narrow terraced plan, adding a side or rear extension at lower ground level, converting the loft and restoring the front elevation. Islington's conservation team expects rear extensions to be subordinate and well detailed.
The Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury Fields and Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row conservation areas cover most of the district.
London Borough of Islington
Islington decides applications and applies Article 4 directions in most conservation areas, so rear extensions and roof changes generally need a full application.
Basements
The borough's basement policy limits depth and footprint and requires a structural method statement and impact assessment.
Listed terraces
Many terraces are Grade II listed; internal alterations, including removing walls, need listed building consent.
Approvals for kitchen renovation in Islington.
A new kitchen does not need planning permission, but moving services, new electrics and gas work need building regulations approval and certification, and flats usually need the freeholder's consent for changes to services.
