Planning a kitchen renovation can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to expect and how long each phase takes can make the process smoother. At BuildEase Carpentry & Building, we handle every step, whether you need a fully bespoke kitchen or just fitting for a pre-purchased kitchen. Here’s a step-by-step guide, complete with estimated timelines for each stage, so you can plan with confidence.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Design (1-2 Weeks)
If you’re opting for a bespoke kitchen, the process begins with a consultation. We’ll meet with you to discuss your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget. For clients supplying their own kitchens, we’ll review your existing plans and ensure all details are covered.
Estimated Timeline:
• Bespoke Design: 1-2 weeks to finalize design plans, including layout, materials, and custom features.
• Pre-purchased Kitchen Fitting: 1 week for consultation and project review.
During this time, we’ll also provide an initial quotation and estimated project timeline.
Step 2: Quotation and Project Timeline (1-3 Days)
Once we’ve completed the design or reviewed your pre-purchased kitchen plans, we’ll provide a detailed, transparent quote. Whether you’re choosing a fully bespoke kitchen or just need fitting services, we prioritize quality over price. We’ll also give you a projected start date and a detailed timeline for the installation.
Estimated Timeline: 1-3 days to finalise the quote and project schedule.
Step 3: Pre-Installation Preparation (1-2 Days)
Before we begin installation, your kitchen needs to be cleared and prepped. This includes removing old cabinetry, appliances, and flooring (if necessary). If you’re renovating an older kitchen, this is the demolition phase.
For clients supplying their own kitchens, we’ll inspect all materials before installation to ensure everything is in good condition and ready for installation.
Estimated Timeline: 1-2 days for demolition and space preparation.
Step 4: Kitchen Fitting (1-2 Weeks)
This is the most significant phase of the project. Our team will install your new kitchen, whether it’s bespoke or pre-purchased. We ensure precision and attention to detail in every step.
For a Bespoke Kitchen:
• Plumbing and Electrical Adjustments (2-3 days): We’ll handle any necessary adjustments to accommodate new appliances, lighting, or sinks.
• Cabinet Installation (3-5 days): Custom cabinets are installed to fit your space perfectly, ensuring everything is aligned and stable.
• Worktops and Flooring (2-4 days): Worktops, splashbacks, and new flooring are fitted with care, providing a seamless finish.
For a Supplied Kitchen:
• Cabinet Fitting (3-5 days): We’ll install your pre-purchased kitchen cabinets, ensuring a precise fit and stability.
• Worktops and Finishing (2-3 days): We’ll install your supplied worktops and finishes like splashbacks.
Estimated Timeline: 1-2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the kitchen.
Step 5: Final Touches and Inspection (1-2 Days)
After the main installation is complete, we focus on the finishing touches. This may include adjusting doors, adding trims, installing splashbacks, and fine-tuning any final details. Once the installation is finished, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards.
We’ll also walk you through your new kitchen, making sure you’re completely satisfied with the results.
Estimated Timeline: 1-2 days to complete final touches and conduct the inspection.
Step 6: Enjoy Your New Kitchen!
With the project complete, it’s time to enjoy your new kitchen! Whether we’ve designed a bespoke solution or fitted a kitchen you purchased elsewhere, you can be confident that your kitchen was installed with precision and care.
