How long

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

From first design to a finished kitchen, stage by stage, and the days you're without one.

Free, no obligation. One kitchen company near you prices it, not five.

The short answer. Four to eight weeks from first design to a finished kitchen. The fitting is three to seven days on site, and the whole job with tiling, plumbing and electrics two to three weeks.

Every stage, timed

  • Design and ordering: one to two weeks.
  • Making the units: two to six weeks; bespoke takes four to six weeks of workshop time.
  • Fitting: three to seven days.
  • Stone worktop: templated after the units go in, fitted a week or two later.
  • Tiling, plumbing, electrics: the job runs to two to three weeks on site.

A made-to-measure kitchen is usually fitted within about 12 weeks of signing off the design. A respray takes one to five days.

How long you're without a kitchen

About a week for the old one out and the new one in, a little longer with stone. Set up a kettle and a microwave in another room.

What slows it down

  • Changing the design after it's ordered.
  • Moving the sink, cooker or a wall: the plumber, electrician or builder comes first.
  • The run-up to Christmas.
