Your kitchen worktop fitting questions answered
What tradesperson fits kitchen worktops?
Finding the right tradesperson for the job can feel confusing. When it comes to kitchen worktops, there are multiple professionals you can hire to do the work.
If you need a professional worktop installation, the following tradespeople have the required skills for the job:
- Carpenter
- Kitchen fitter
- Joiner
Do kitchen fitters cut worktops?
Yes, kitchen fitters can cut worktops to your required size. Most kitchen fitters have the tools needed to cut wood and laminate worktops.
Granite and quartz worktops need to be cut using specialist equipment and will need to be purchased from a supplier.
How long does it take to install a worktop?
The amount of time a worktop installation takes will be influenced by the following:
- Worktop materials
- Worktop size
- Kitchen layout – the number of worktop joints etc
When hiring a kitchen worktop fitter, ask them how long they expect your specific project to take. Installations can take as little as half a day or as long as two full working days to complete.
Can I fit my own kitchen worktop?
Yes, you can perform a DIY kitchen worktop installation if you have all of the necessary skills and equipment. You will need to know how to remove the old worktops, measure and cut the new materials, and install each piece accurately into place.
You will also need to be able to lift and manoeuvre the worktops yourself. Making mistakes can be easy if you don’t have any previous worktop installation experience.
If you think you have the skills needed for the job, read our expert advice on how to fit your own kitchen worktop.
Sound like a lot of hard work? We recommend hiring a professional worktop installer near you. A kitchen fitter can do all of the hard work for you and will provide an accurate and secure installation.
What is the most practical kitchen worktop?
All kitchen worktop materials have their pros and cons. Solid wood worktops are low price yet durable and long-lasting. Quartz can be cut into any shape and is easy to clean. This material isn’t budget-friendly and can be damaged by hot pans.
Acrylic worktops are often stain-resistant and provide a sleek and seamless appearance. Worktops made from granite are scratch, stain, and heat-proof. This premium-quality material requires specialist installation but is available in unlimited designs.
The most practical kitchen worktop is the one that meets all of your unique requirements and aligns with your budget.
How much does it cost to have a kitchen worktop fitted?
There is not a single price for kitchen worktop installations. Each project is unique and you will be provided with a bespoke quote by your installer.
Factors that impact worktop installation prices include:
- Material
- Size
- Curved corners
- Built-in ovens and hobs
- Worktops included/not included
- Tradesperson’s experience
- Your location – prices vary throughout the UK
The cost of worktop installation is calculated using two prices: the cost of the materials and the cost of the labour.
For example, the average cost for a 5m laminate kitchen worktop is £500. The labour to install laminate worktops costs £60 per m². The total cost for installing a 5m laminate worktop would be £800.
