Modern Kitchen Renovation Manchester
Recent Modern Kitchen Renovation Project
Our Client approached NMB to transform her traditional 1900s property in Prestwich, Manchester by creating a modern open-plan kitchen diner. As experienced kitchen fitters in Manchester, we managed the entire project from initial design through to full installation.
The project involved removing the dividing wall between the rear living room and dining room and installing a structural steel beam to support the new open-plan layout. This allowed the space to feel brighter, more spacious and better connected for everyday living.
Additional works included replacing the existing windows with new patio doors, a full kitchen rewire, new plumbing for the kitchen installation, plastering, updated lighting with recessed spotlights, new radiators, and the installation of new flooring throughout.
The finished space features a contemporary Outline Porter Portal kitchen with an oak backplate detail and a striking central island in quartz. This creates a functional, modern kitchen designed around how the client uses the space day-to-day.

A Complete Kitchen Transformation in Prestwich, Manchester
This Prestwich kitchen renovation is a great example of how structural changes, considered design and carefully selected materials can completely reshape how a home is used. The original layout consisted of a separate rear living room and dining room, which felt disconnected and limited both light and functionality.
The brief was to create a bright, open-plan kitchen diner that would better suit modern living, while introducing a clean, contemporary aesthetic with warm, natural detailing.
Working closely with Mags, we reimagined the layout to open up the space and create a cohesive kitchen and dining area designed around day-to-day living.
Open-Plan Layout & Structural Alterations
To achieve the new layout, we removed the dividing wall between the rear living room and dining room and installed a structural steel beam to support the opening. This instantly transformed the space, allowing natural light to flow more freely and creating a much more connected and sociable environment.
As part of the transformation, the existing windows were removed and replaced with new patio doors, further enhancing natural light and improving the connection between the kitchen and garden.
Kitchen Design & Layout
The new kitchen features the Outline Porter Portal range, offering a sleek handleless design with a unique level of customisation. For this project, an oak backplate was selected, introducing warmth and texture that contrasts beautifully with the modern cabinetry.
A central island forms the focal point of the space, providing additional storage, preparation space and a natural gathering point for everyday living and entertaining. The overall layout has been carefully designed to maximise flow, usability and visual balance.
Worktops, Services & Finishing Touches
The island is finished in amber quartz with waterfall edges, adding a premium feel and creating a strong visual statement within the space. Complementary finishes and detailing help tie the overall design together, balancing modern styling with more natural elements.
This project also involved a full upgrade of services, including a complete rewire, new plumbing for the kitchen layout, installation of new radiators, updated lighting with recessed spotlights, plastering throughout and new skirting boards.
To add character and definition to the dining area, brick slips were installed, creating a subtle feature that enhances the overall aesthetic of the space.
