Kitchen renovation in Marche-en-Famenne

The prestige of the personalized: custom kitchen

Adapted to every room configuration

For those who do not want to compromise, the custom kitchen is the solution that adapts to the millimeter to the specifics of your room, whether you have sloped ceilings or non-perpendicular walls, typical of the old houses of Waha or Aye.

Noble materials and local craftsmanship

Custom solutions offer total freedom in material selection: solid wood facades, matte or glossy lacquer, granite, quartz, or ceramic worktops. These materials provide unmatched durability and aesthetics. We collaborate with skilled carpenters to create unique furniture that optimizes every corner.

Smart storage for an effortless daily life

This is also an opportunity to integrate smart storage solutions: English-style drawers, pull-out columns, "Magic Corner" corner storage. Everything is designed so that your kitchen remains tidy without effort.

Accessibility and Inclusion: the PMR Kitchen

Design for Autonomy and Safety

At Avenir Rénovations, we think of all the occupants of the house. The fit-out of a PMR kitchen (Person with Reduced Mobility) requires specific expertise to ensure the autonomy and safety of wheelchair users or seniors.

Ergonomics and Design Without Compromise

This involves adjustable-height worktops, cutouts under the sink and cooktops to allow legroom, as well as storage accessible from a seated position. We also install appliances with ergonomic controls. A PMR kitchen should not look "medicalized": we ensure that the design remains consistent with the rest of your interior, in Hargimont as well as in On.

Finishes and Floors: Combining Durability and Style

A Floor Covering Resistant to Intensive Use

The flooring in a kitchen is put to the test: water splashes, frequent foot traffic, drops of utensils. We generally recommend high-density ceramic tiles, easy to maintain and very durable. A quick pass with the squeegee and your floor regains its original cleanliness.

The Backsplash: Technical Protection and Decorative Touch

The backsplash — the space between the worktop and the upper cabinets — is a key element that also hides a technical reality: the wall behind must be impeccably prepared. Before any installation of glass, subway tile, or ceramic backsplash, our craftsmen in Marche perform the plastering of the support to eliminate any irregularities and ensure a flat, healthy, and adhesive surface. An untreated wall behind the backsplash guarantees peeling in the medium term and moisture infiltration. We then carefully seal the silicone joints for perfect waterproofing around the sink.

The Small Details That Make All the Difference

Finishes make the difference: choice of the door handle for access, matching baseboards, painting the remaining walls with high-quality washable products. It is these details that distinguish an ordinary renovation from a result to be proud of.

The Expertise of Avenir Rénovations in Marche-en-Famenne

A Single Point of Contact for the Entire Project

Entrusting your kitchen to Avenir Rénovations means entrusting the entirety of the project to a single point of contact. You do not have to coordinate the plumber, electrician, tiler, and kitchen designer: we ensure perfect synchronization of the trades to reduce the duration of the work and avoid delays.

Our Area of Intervention and Our Cleanliness Commitment

We operate throughout the greater Marche — Waha, Marloie, Aye, Hargimont, On — as well as in neighboring municipalities such as Rochefort, Ciney, Hotton, or Nassogne. We remove debris and use protective systems to limit dust in the rest of the house.

Common issues and our solutions

Insufficient air extraction in an open kitchen to the living room

In the open-plan projects in Marche-en-Famenne, the open kitchen to the living room is highly sought after — but it raises a technical question often overlooked: how to effectively extract cooking odors without disturbing the comfort of the living space? An undersized or poorly positioned hood allows vapors to spread freely throughout the area. We size the hood according to the actual volume of the combined room and favor hoods with direct extraction to the outside, with wall perforation and backdraft damper, for lasting efficiency.

Alpex pipes too short to reposition the sink

Moving the sink a few meters — to position it under a window or facing an island — is one of the most common wishes during a kitchen renovation. However, old lead or copper pipes have no flexibility and do not allow this type of modification without complete replacement. We systematically take advantage of the renovation to replace all networks with Alpex, which allows repositioning the sink and dishwasher exactly where the plan requires, without length constraints.

Poorly connected finishes between the kitchen and the living room floor

When the kitchen opens onto the living room, the junction between two different floor coverings — tiles on the kitchen side, parquet on the living room side — is a delicate point that many projects botch with a simple visible aluminum threshold. At Avenir Rénovations, we work upstream on the consistency of floor levels to allow either a perfect level transition with a discreet profile or a material junction in line with the demolished partition. The result is clean, durable, and visually coherent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will we be without a usable kitchen during the work?

The duration without a functional kitchen depends on the scale of the project, but it generally corresponds to the demolition phase, compliance of the networks, and tiling — averaging one to two weeks for a complete renovation. The installation of furniture and appliances follows quickly. Our site manager establishes a precise schedule in advance so you can organize accordingly.

Is a building permit required to renovate a kitchen in Marche-en-Famenne?

No, in the vast majority of cases. A kitchen renovation — even complete, including the demolition of a non-load-bearing wall — does not require a building permit in Wallonia, as it does not alter the exterior appearance of the building or its use. If you wish to open a load-bearing wall to create an open kitchen, the situation is different, and our craftsmen from Marche will check the applicable requirements for your property.

Does the 6% VAT also apply to kitchen furniture?

Yes, provided that the furniture is fixed and installed by our company as part of the work. This reduced rate of 6% applies to the entire service — labor, materials, and fixed furniture included. Free-standing furniture — such as a table or chairs — remains subject to the 21% rate. This is an important distinction to keep in mind when establishing the budget.

Can a dishwasher or wine cellar be integrated into an old kitchen in Marche?

Absolutely. The addition of these appliances is precisely one of the reasons why we replace old networks during a kitchen renovation. We plan for wastewater drainage for the dishwasher and dedicated and secure electrical circuits for each major appliance, in accordance with RGIE standards. Everything is sized for sustainable and risk-free use in your Marche home.

Do you want to renovate your kitchen in Marche-en-Famenne?

A kitchen renovated by Avenir Rénovations is much more than a new decor: compliant networks, effective ventilation through a direct extraction hood or dedicated VMC, secure electricity with separate circuits for each major appliance, and careful finishes from the floor to the backsplash.
