Project Overview
DKM Builders Oxford Ltd recently completed a high quality full house refurbishment in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, transforming a dated residential property into a modern family home finished to a far higher standard throughout. Completed over approximately four months, this extensive refurbishment project included a full kitchen renovation, luxury bathroom refurbishment, new flooring, staircase upgrades, decorating, lighting improvements, carpentry works, and complete internal modernisation.
As experienced builders in Kidlington, our objective was not simply to renovate the property cosmetically, but to completely improve the way the home looked, felt, and functioned for modern family living.
Transforming a Dated Property into a Modern Family Home
When DKM Builders first visited the property, much of the interior had become outdated and no longer reflected the quality or functionality expected within a modern home. The kitchen lacked practicality, the bathroom required complete upgrading, and the overall property needed significant refurbishment work throughout. The client wanted a reliable principal contractor capable of managing the full project professionally from start to finish while delivering a clean, modern, and high-end finish across every area of the home.
Our team managed every stage of the refurbishment process, coordinating all trades, overseeing scheduling, maintaining site organisation, and ensuring quality control throughout the project.
The refurbishment works included:
- Full internal house refurbishment
- Kitchen renovation
- Bathroom renovation
- Flooring installation throughout
- Decorating and plastering
- Staircase refurbishment
- Electrical and lighting upgrades
- Bespoke carpentry works
- Modernisation of living spaces
- Structural and finishing improvements
Kitchen Renovation in Kidlington
The kitchen formed one of the most important parts of the refurbishment project. The original layout and finishes no longer suited modern living, and the client wanted a cleaner, brighter, and more functional space that would complement the rest of the renovated property.
DKM Builders completed a full kitchen transformation including removal of the existing kitchen, preparation works, new cabinetry installation, upgraded finishes, improved lighting, flooring installation, and final decoration.
The completed kitchen now delivers:
- Improved functionality
- Better use of space
- Modern finishes
- Increased natural light
- Contemporary styling
- High-quality workmanship throughout
A well-designed kitchen remains one of the most valuable investments homeowners can make when carrying out a house refurbishment in Kidlington or across Oxfordshire, both from a lifestyle and property value perspective.
Luxury Bathroom Refurbishment
The bathroom renovation involved a complete strip-out and redesign to create a far more modern and premium finish. Large-format wall tiles, modern sanitaryware, upgraded plumbing systems, improved lighting, and contemporary fittings helped transform the space entirely.
The new bathroom was designed to feel clean, spacious, and modern while maintaining practicality for everyday use.
Works included:
- Full bathroom strip-out
- Plumbing upgrades
- Wall and floor tiling
- New sanitaryware installation
- Shower enclosure installation
- Heated towel rail
- Modern lighting
- Decoration and finishing works
Attention to detail throughout the installation was critical in achieving the final result, particularly with the tiling alignment, flooring finishes, and overall presentation of the room.
Complete Internal Modernisation
Alongside the kitchen and bathroom renovation works, the property also underwent extensive internal refurbishment throughout.
This included:
- New flooring installation
- Staircase refurbishment
- Decorating throughout
- Modern lighting installation
- Carpentry and finishing works
- Wall preparation and plastering
- Interior upgrades across multiple rooms
The upgraded staircase and flooring played a significant role in improving the overall feel of the property, helping create a clean and consistent finish throughout the home.
The final result is a property that feels significantly brighter, more modern, and far better suited to contemporary family living.
