Kitchen Installer FAQs

How long does it take to fit a kitchen?

With the number of appliances, trades and products involved in the process of kitchen installation, it’s unarguably one of the most difficult rooms to renovate. And if an efficient management is not provided, the process can drag on for a lengthy period. As a result, if everything goes well, your new kitchen renovation can be installed in less than a week, but in most cases, this will often take a much longer time to complete. 

When it comes to kitchen renovation, proper management of the timeline is crucial to ensure a smooth and hitch-free process. Trades are required to be scheduled in the appropriate order as some specific tasks must be concluded before the others. In other words, to prevent unwanted push back timelines, everything must be properly organized.

Furthermore, it’s also key to provide sufficient time to enable the full completion of each stage in the process so as to prevent reschedule trades in the event whereby one stage happens to be more time consuming than planned.

Another important factor that can affect the timeline is the type of kitchen splash back. While tile splash backs are a lot quicker due to the fact that the tiles can be cut on site, individualized stone or glass splash backs often take a longer period of time to fit.

If you prefer a kitchen with stone benchtops, usually your kitchen will take much longer than 10 days to install as benchtops can not be done prior to the installation of the kitchen cabinets - average turnaround time for this is usually about 4 to 5 weeks. However, kitchens with laminate worktops can be installed within a week or at times, up to 10 days. This is because laminate kitchen worktops is typically delivered alongside the kitchen.

How much space should I leave on either side of my range cooker?

You can install most cookers flush to the sides of your kitchen cabinets. However, it’s a good idea to leave a gap between them anyway so that your cooker can be serviced, cleaned and moved if necessary. The commonly recommended space is about 2.5mm on each side of your cooker.Some cookers need even more than this, otherwise they can damage your kitchen cabinets. If you’re not sure about what your electric range cooker needs, it’s best to ask your installer or get in touch with the manufacturer.

how much does it cost to replace a kitchen?

If your old kitchen is due for an upgrade, one of the first things that comes to is the potential cost of a getting replacement. In this post, we’re going to consider the amount a new kitchen is expected to cost. Let’s take a look!

 

Generally, fitted kitchen prices can be extremely high and even a budget project can cost huge bucks. In addition, you’re even likely to pay more if you’re interesting in getting a designer brand and shiny appliances. So how much will a new kitchen? Well, there’s no simple and direct answer to this question as there are a number of factors that play a major part in the determination of the price. These factors include the shape of the kitchen, the most preferred layout as well as the kitchen’s size.

 

On the average, a new kitchen will normally be around £8000. You should however note that this price is fitting and VAT inclusive, but excludes appliances and any preparation works that may or may not be required such as plastering walls, removing wallpaper as well as ripping out the old kitchen.

 

If you wish to keep the costs down, then you might want to set a budget before you start shopping for a new kitchen, know your most preferred kitchen and remove the old kitchen yourself. A good example of DIY effort which can go a long way to save and even make you some bucks is taking out the old cabinets by yourself and selling them off.

Does my cooker need a plinth?

A plinth is a solid base that your cooker can sit on. It raises your cooker up from the ground and makes it easier to use. It will also make your cooker look in-keeping with your kitchen units if they sit on plinths too. However, a range cooker can also work effectively and look good without a plinth. If you don’t want one, make sure you check that the cooker you want doesn’t come with or need a plinth before you buy it. If you want to fit one in your home and are looking for an installer, we can help. Fill in our online form and we’ll put you in touch with up to 4 electricians in your local area.

Does my range cooker need a safety bracket?

A safety bracket or anti-tip device is a piece of metal with a u-shaped slot. It attaches to your cooker and either a wall or the floor to prevent your cooker from tipping over.It depends on how heavy your range cooker is as to whether you need a safety bracket. A very heavy cooker should stay in place without one whereas a lighter one will probably need one. If your electric range cooker needs a safety bracket, this will probably come with it.

How much space should I leave between my range cooker and the cooker hood?

Range cooker hoods should be installed between 65 -75cm above the hob. However, you should check installation instructions, as some cooker hood styles need to be installed slightly lower. If you fit your cooker hood too high, it will reduce extraction performance.
