Kitchen island installation in Bury Park, Luton. New islands and moved islands planned for space and services, built level and finished to match the kitchen.
An island is the most requested change in Bury Park kitchens, and it is also the one that needs the most planning. It changes how people move through the room, and if it has a sink or a hob, it needs water, waste and power brought into the middle of the floor.
Space comes first. An island needs enough room around it to open the dishwasher, the oven and the fridge while someone walks past, and in a Bury Park terrace kitchen that decides whether an island or a peninsula is the better choice. We measure the room and walk through how it will be used before anything is ordered.
Moving an existing island is a common job too - often to open up the room or to make space for a bigger table. That means lifting the floor to reroute any services, making good where the island stood, and usually refinishing the floor so the old footprint does not show.
Services into an island are planned with the right trades: a plumber for water and waste, which needs a fall to drain properly, and an electrician for sockets, which have their own regulations on an island.
The island itself is built level, fixed securely to the floor so it cannot shift, and finished with end panels and a worktop overhang for seating if you want one.
Flooring often gets redone at the same time, and it is worth planning it together so the new floor runs neatly around or under the island rather than being patched. Doors that no longer close square, a worktop lifting at a joint, or water marks under the sink are worth looking at before a new kitchen goes in.
