What does kitchen fitting involve?

First time having a kitchen fitted? Here’s what to expect…

Step 1: Removing the old kitchen

Your fitter will begin by safely removing the existing units, worktops and appliances.

Step 2: Preparing the space

The walls, floors and services are then checked to make sure everything is ready for installation.

Step 3: Installing units and worktops

Next, the cabinets are fitted, aligned and secured, followed by worktops and fixtures.

Step 4: Finishing and adjustments

Finally, doors, handles and appliances are fitted and tested to ensure everything works correctly.

When an old kitchen comes out, it’s not unusual to discover a few jobs that need sorting before the new one goes in, for example, plastering a wall, updating electrics or fixing pipework. If that happens, you can quickly find trusted local tradespeople on Checkatrade to get everything ready for installation.

FAQs about kitchen fitters

How much does it cost to hire a kitchen fitter?

Many kitchen fitting jobs (for a standard-sized family kitchen) cost around £3,500 for installation only, although larger or more complex kitchens may cost more.

Can a kitchen fitter help with upgrades rather than a full renovation?

Yes. Many kitchen fitters carry out partial upgrades such as replacing worktops, cabinets or appliances.

Do kitchen fitters do everything?

Kitchen fitters handle installation, but structural work will normally require a builder, while connecting gas, plumbing, or electrics will need a Gas Safe engineer, plumber, or electrician, respectively.

Do kitchen fitters remove the old kitchen?

Yes, most kitchen fitters remove the old kitchen as part of the job, but it’s always worth confirming this is included in the quote. Should you need to hire a skip, budget around £200-£250 per week.
