How long does a typical kitchen fitting project take? 

Embarking on a kitchen fitting project is an exciting step towards transforming your home. Whether you’re modernising an outdated space or creating a bespoke kitchen tailored to your needs, understanding the timeline is crucial for planning. At HM Builders Glossop, the trusted #1 name in Glossop, Derbyshire, serving Tameside, Derbyshire and the High Peak, Stockport, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality kitchen installations. As a fully licensed and insured company, we cater to both home and business owners throughout the region, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

The duration of a typical kitchen fitting project in the UK depends on several factors, including the project’s scope, the kitchen’s size, and the complexity of the design. On average, a standard kitchen installation takes between 1 to 3 weeks, assuming no major structural changes are required. Let’s break down the process to give you a clearer picture.

Initial Planning and Design (1–2 Weeks)

Before any physical work begins, the planning phase is essential. This includes consultations, measurements, and finalising the design. At HM Builders Glossop, we work closely with clients to understand their vision, whether it’s a sleek, contemporary kitchen or a traditional, rustic style. This stage may take longer if bespoke cabinetry or custom features are involved, as these require precise specifications. Delays in ordering materials, such as worktops or appliances, can also extend this phase, so we recommend early decision-making.

Preparation and Demolition (2–4 Days)

Once the design is approved, the existing kitchen (if present) needs to be removed. This involves stripping out old cabinets, appliances, and flooring. For most standard-sized kitchens, demolition takes 1–2 days. If plumbing or electrical systems need relocating, this could add a couple of days. Our team at HM Builders Glossop ensures all preparatory work is completed efficiently, minimising disruption to your home.

Installation (5–10 Days)

The core installation phase involves fitting cabinets, worktops, sinks, and appliances. For a straightforward kitchen, this typically takes 5–7 days. More complex projects, such as those involving intricate tiling, underfloor heating, or bespoke joinery, may extend to 10 days. Our skilled craftsmen work diligently to maintain the highest standards, ensuring every element is installed with precision.

Finishing Touches (2–4 Days)

The final stage includes painting, fitting handles, and installing lighting or splashbacks. This phase usually takes 2–4 days, depending on the level of detail. A thorough clean-up and quality checks ensure your kitchen is ready to use.

Factors That May Affect the Timeline

Unexpected issues, such as hidden plumbing problems or delays in material deliveries, can extend the timeline. Larger or more bespoke kitchens naturally take longer. However, with HM Builders Glossop, our experienced team anticipates potential challenges and keeps you informed at every step.
