What we take, and what we leave for the fitters
Every kitchen has things being kept. This list is the conversation that stops them going in the truck.
Normally in scope
- Wall units, base units, islands and built-in joinery
- Laminate, timber, quartz and granite worktops
- Tiled splashbacks and wall tile
- Built-in ovens, hobs, extractors and dishwashers
- Sinks, taps and waste fittings once isolated
- Floor covering lifted to the subfloor
Normally somebody else’s scope
- Isolating live gas, water or electrical supply
- Capping, re-routing or extending any service
- Stub-outs, circuits and vents you are reusing
- Load-bearing walls between a kitchen and anywhere else
- Subfloor repair where damage is found underneath
- Anything the new kitchen is being fitted to
Send your fitter’s keep-list with the photos and it goes straight into the quote. The boundaries here are trade convention rather than Crown policy: what matters is that your job has them written down somewhere before the first cabinet comes off.
What comes out of a kitchen
A kitchen is the densest room in the house for fixed material, which is why it strips faster than people expect and weighs more than they expect.
Worktops & Splashbacks
Stone goes out in pieces, not whole
Laminate, timber, quartz and granite tops, plus tiled splashbacks.
Built-In Appliances
After the services are isolated
Ovens, hobs, extractors, dishwashers and integrated fridges.
Flooring & Underlay
The slowest part of most kitchen strips
Tile, vinyl, LVP and laminate taken up to the subfloor.
Sink, Taps & Waste
Water off at the isolator first
Sinks, taps, wastes and the units they sit in.
Debris Haul-Away
One price for the strip and the haul
Everything removed is loaded and taken away by us.
What kitchen demolition costs
Published ranges, because almost nobody in this market will give you a number before a site visit. You get a firm figure before anything starts and only pay for work completed.
PLACEHOLDER: galley or small kitchen
Crown to supply
Crown publishes one interior range, not a room-level one. See the note under this grid.
PLACEHOLDER: standard kitchen
Crown to supply
The common job: a full fitted kitchen out, floor included.
PLACEHOLDER: large kitchen or open plan
Crown to supply
Islands, walk-in pantries, or a kitchen-diner stripped as one room.
- Run length
- How many linear feet of units are coming off the walls.
- Worktop material
- Laminate lifts out. Stone comes out in pieces and weighs several times as much.
- Flooring underneath
- Tile bedded on mortar is the slowest thing in most kitchens.
- Disconnects
- Whether the services are already isolated, or that has to be arranged first.
🔶 PLACEHOLDER: Crown does not publish a kitchen-level price. The published figure is interior gutting at $1,500 to $6,000+ for the service as a whole, which is not a per-room number and should not be presented as one. The axis is set out above; two real figures from Crown finish this grid.

We agree in writing what is isolated, by whom, and what is being kept, before anything is unscrewed.
The strip
Units, tops, appliances and floor out in that order, loaded as we go rather than stacked in the hall.
Swept and handed over
Floor swept, debris gone, and we walk it with you so your fitters start on a clean room.

Kitchen Demolition across Central Kentucky

The questions we get asked
Answered properly rather than deflected to a phone call.
Not sure it’s this job?
Send two or three photos. If it is really a different service we will say so and point you at the right page. It costs you nothing either way.
Send photos insteadWill you disconnect the gas, water and electrics?
Not the live connections. Isolating gas, water and electrical supply is licensed work in its own right, and a demolition crew guessing at it is exactly how a kitchen strip turns into an insurance claim. What we do is work to a room that has already been isolated, and tell you plainly at quote stage which disconnections need arranging, so it is on somebody’s list rather than discovered on the morning.
Can you leave the plumbing and wiring for my new kitchen?
Yes, and this is the single most useful thing to get into the quote. Tell us which stub-outs, waste runs, circuits and vents your fitters have asked you to keep, and we mark them and work around them. Without that list a strip-out is a strip-out, and things get removed that were going to be reused. It costs nothing to agree and it is the most common avoidable cost on this job.
Do you take the appliances away?
Yes. Ovens, hobs, extractors, dishwashers and integrated fridges go with everything else, once they are disconnected. If any of them are being kept, say so and we will set them aside somewhere safe rather than load them. Note that Crown’s own accepted-items list puts some categories in an additional-charge bracket, so mention anything unusual when you send the photos.
Is a kitchen tear-out messy?
Less than people fear, and the reason is logistics rather than care: we load as we go, so the material leaves the room instead of accumulating in it. Routes and stairs get protected, and the room is swept before we go. What we cannot make disappear is dust from tiled floors and plastered walls. If you are living in the house through it, say so and we will talk about sequencing.
How long does a kitchen demolition take?
Most fitted kitchens are a single day, including the floor. What extends it is a stone worktop, a tiled floor bedded on mortar, or a kitchen that is part of a larger open-plan room being stripped at the same time. You get a time with the price, and if your fitters have a start date, tell us and we will work to it rather than around it.
Which areas do you serve?
Lexington and the surrounding counties: Lexington, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, Frankfort, Winchester, Versailles and Paris. The ZIP codes are listed above. If your house was built before 1978, read the lead-rule section on the interior gutting page before you book anyone.
