A kitchen refresh
New wall surfaces, flooring, a splashback or work around the worktop may be enough to update the room. We review which cabinets will stay and what finishing is needed before starting.

Kitchen renovation in Helsinki
Renew Construct renovates kitchens in Helsinki, from smaller updates to more extensive projects. The agreed work can combine removal of the old kitchen, room preparation, walls and flooring, installation work and finishing.
What kind of kitchen renovation do you need?
A practical cabinet layout may only need new surfaces. If the layout or the whole apartment is changing, the scope and order of work need a broader plan.
A more extensive renovation
The old kitchen is removed to the agreed extent and the space prepared for its replacement. Removal, preparation, surfaces and installation stages are coordinated.
Part of an apartment renovation
Kitchen, dining and living room floors and walls can be renewed in one project. The order of work and joins between surfaces are considered across the apartment.

Kitchen renovation cost in Helsinki
What affects the cost of a kitchen renovation?
A small update and a full kitchen renovation have different scopes. Painting and a new splashback involve a different amount of work from removal, layout changes and preparation for a new kitchen.
To prepare an estimate, we need the kitchen size, its current condition and the changes you want. A few photos, details of cabinets you plan to keep and any existing kitchen plan help define the scope.
Cost factors include
- Kitchen size and scope of work
- Removal and the condition of existing surfaces
- Floor, wall and splashback work
- Number of cabinets and installation preparation
- Electrical and plumbing work, including changes to water connections
- Work required for appliances

- Trims, joins and the extent of finishing
Tax credit for household expenses
The labour portion of a kitchen renovation at home may qualify for a tax credit for household expenses when the conditions are met. Check your eligibility and the current rules with the Finnish Tax Administration.

Before renovating, ask your property manager or housing company whether the proposed work requires an alteration notification or other approvals. Changes affecting plumbing, water connections, electrical systems, ventilation or structures should be reviewed during planning.
Plans and responsibilities
Tell us if the sink or appliances are moving, or if the extractor connection or layout will change. This helps clarify the work and notifications needed.

Frequently asked questions
Before your kitchen renovation.
Answers about scope, cost and practical arrangements in Helsinki housing-company apartments.
What can a kitchen renovation include?
A kitchen renovation can include removal, room preparation, wall, floor and splashback surfaces, installation coordination and finishing. Renew's work and other contractors' responsibilities are agreed around the needs of your property.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Helsinki?
The cost is assessed based on kitchen size, existing condition and the agreed work. Updating surfaces is a different project from removal, a new cabinet layout and electrical or plumbing changes. Send basic details and photos so we can refine the scope and quote.
Can I renovate just part of my kitchen?
Yes, the work can be limited to wall surfaces, flooring or the splashback, for example. The condition of the existing cabinets and the parts you want to keep determine how a partial update can be carried out.
Can you remove the old kitchen?
Yes, removal of the old kitchen can be included in the agreed work. Before removal, we review which parts will stay and arrangements for any electrical and plumbing disconnections.
Can the flooring be replaced at the same time?
Yes, flooring can be replaced as part of the kitchen renovation. Dining or living room flooring can also be included. The condition of the substrate and cabinet positions are considered when planning the order of work.
Does a kitchen renovation need housing-company approval?
A kitchen renovation may require an alteration notification and other approvals, depending on the work. Clarify changes affecting plumbing, water connections, electrical systems, ventilation and structures with your housing company or property manager before starting.
Can you work from an existing kitchen plan?
Yes, an existing kitchen plan can be the starting point for the renovation. Send the plan and details of your chosen cabinets and appliances. We use these to agree on Renew's building, surface and finishing work and installation responsibilities.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
The duration depends on scope, the condition of existing surfaces, deliveries and installation stages. A property-specific schedule is agreed after the assessment and scope have been defined. We also discuss how the work will affect use of the kitchen.
