Wall Preparation

Once every old thing is out of the way, work on the walls. For a damp wall, there is a damp-proof specialist to take care of the stuff. Painting is the next step for a bit of touching up to remove any stains accumulated on the surfaces.

Lighting

The next stage is the first to fix the work. The process involves electrical wiring and adding new spurs, sockets, switches, and lights. LED lamps are sufficient to keep an average-sized kitchen very bright. Lighting the back of the kitchen worktops is a better option.
