Preparation Needed Before Kitchen Installation Begins
Good preparation makes for a smooth kitchen installation. Here's what we recommend:
What You Should Do
- Clear out all cupboards and drawers
- Remove small appliances and kitchenware
- Make a temporary kitchen elsewhere if possible
- Make arrangements for pets during the work
- Clear access routes for deliveries
What We'll Do
- Protect your floors and adjacent areas
- Disconnect existing appliances safely
- Remove old cabinets and worktops
- Prepare walls and floors for new installation
- Arrange skip hire for waste disposal if needed
We'll give you a detailed preparation checklist before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Will Kitchen Fitters Disconnect and Remove My Old Kitchen?
Yes! We provide a complete service that includes:
- Safely disconnecting all appliances
- Turning off water and electrical supplies
- Carefully removing old cabinets and worktops
- Disposal of all old kitchen materials
- Preparing the space for your new kitchen
There's no need to arrange separate tradespeople for disconnection or waste removal - we handle everything.
Do I Need to Empty All My Cabinets Before Installation?
Yes, you'll need to empty all your cabinets and drawers before we start work. This is important because:
- It protects your belongings from dust and damage
- It gives us clear access to all areas
- It speeds up the installation process
We recommend setting up a temporary kitchen in another room with essential items like a microwave, kettle and some basic kitchenware.
Can Kitchen Installation Be Done in Phases to Minimize Disruption?
Yes, we can schedule your kitchen installation in phases if that helps you. For example:
- Phase 1: Removal of old kitchen and preparatory work
- Phase 2: Installation of cabinets and worktops
- Phase 3: Appliance installation and final connections
This approach might extend the overall timeline but can make the process more manageable, especially if you're living in the property during the work.
What Aftercare Services Do Kitchen Installers Offer?
After your kitchen installation is complete, we provide:
- A thorough walk-through of all features
- Care and maintenance advice for all surfaces
- User guides for all appliances
- A 12-month workmanship guarantee
- Follow-up checks at 1 month and 6 months
- Responsive aftercare service for any issues
We want you to enjoy your new kitchen for years to come, so our relationship doesn't end when the installation is complete.
