How long to fit a kitchen?
The timescale for your kitchen installation depends on several factors, including the size of your kitchen (taking into account the number of units), the design complexity, and whether it involves a straightforward replacement or a complete kitchen remodel.
If you're replacing an existing kitchen with the same – or a similar – layout, you can expect the installation to take about one to two weeks. This timeline includes removing the old kitchen, installing new cabinets, countertops, and appliances, plus any necessary plumbing or electrical work.
For an extensive kitchen renovation that involves changing the layout and making significant structural changes, the process can take three to six weeks or even longer. This includes time for design, permit applications, and kitchen installation.
If you are fitting the kitchen yourself, the process can take significantly longer, often doubling the time it would take a professional. It could take anywhere from two to four weeks, depending on your skill level.
