How To Prepare For Your Kitchen Or Bathroom Renovation
When Kitchens Perth Renovate your Kitchen, Bathroom or Laundry, it is quite important to understand what you need to do prior to the renovation taking place.
Please find some tips and tricks to help you through the renovation process.
Prepare For Kitchen Renovation
Firstly, and most importantly, you need to prepare your space for Kitchens Perth to smoothly commence demolition of your existing area.
If Kitchens Perth are replacing your kitchen, you need to remove all of your items that are located in your existing cupboards and drawers.
It is a great time to cleanse through and look at what is out of date in your pantry!!! : – )
All items need to be completely taken from the existing kitchen and placed into cardboard boxes away from the construction area to prevent dust from entering and covering them.
When you remove all of your kitchen items, and if you find you have not used something in the last six months, it could be a good idea to de-clutter and give those items away to free up valuable space. You can give them away to friends and family, or perhaps you can box them up and give them to the Red Cross or other charity groups
All items that you are keeping need to be well away from the area that is being renovated, as dust does travel quite a long distance. If you have some spare linen, you can stack boxes on top of each other and then cover them with sheets for extra protection.
Any furniture that is within the renovated area should also be well covered with oversized sheets to prevent fine dust from covering it. For example, dining chairs, dining table, side tables, little treasures, mirrors, artwork and ornaments. Some dust will, unfortunately, find its way to many unwanted places, so those items need to be well prepared for this.
Secondly, whilst Kitchens Perth are replacing your kitchen, you need to set up a little temporary kitchen for a few days, and this is easy to do. You can BBQ outside under cover for a few nights, you can set up a toaster, kettle and microwave in the laundry area or on a side table which is away from the renovating area if your laundry is also being renovated.
The actual time of “No Kitchen” is minimal and is usually around the one-week mark so you will be up and running again in no time. (As we are one of the Quickest Kitchen renovation companies in Perth)
Prepare For Bathroom Renovation
When Kitchens Perth replaces your bathroom, you also need to prepare for the renovation. Remove all items from the cupboards and put the items into labelled cardboard boxes. This makes it so much easier when unpacking.
If the bathroom which is being replaced is near your living areas or bedroom, you need to keep the doors closed during the day to prevent any further dust from travelling into these areas. You should also cover your carpets with plastic and tape them down to prevent muck from entering onto them.
The more prepared you are, the less clean-up you have to do at the end of the renovation.
Kitchens Perth makes a great effort to prevent excessive mess by ensuring all trades clean up after themselves.
I hope that these tips and tricks help to minimise the dust and your afterwards clean up.
Good luck with your exciting project, and the small amount of stress is actually all worth it in the end.
Just remember, the more prepared you are for the renovation, the less stress you will have with returning your items to your beautiful new space.
