Kitchen fitting timeframe

3 replies

Pumbles · 07/09/2022 23:09

If anyone has had a kitchen delivered and fitted (B&Q, Homebase, Ikea, anywhere that does it all in one) recently, can you let me know what timeframe they gave you to have it fitted? We are in a rush for boring reasons to get a kitchen fitted but with all the talk of trades being hard to book right now, I'm expecting it to be a long wait! Thanks in advance

Daughter is currently having a kitchen fitted by Wren. We went to the showroom in July and it started to be fitted the last week of August. We were told it would be a one week fit (small kitchen) but it has gone into week 2 only because a couple of doors were missing from cabinets and they sent the wrong sink (imagine a black draining board instead of white in a kitchen with white worktops).
Wren allocated us a fitter and the company allocated to us also have an in house electician and plumber who have all been excellent. I think we got lucky there. They did say the plan Wren gave us wasn't 100% workable in our kitchen due to plumbing issues (despite Wren sending their surveyor to check the plan before the fitters arrived) but the guys have made a few adjustments and made it work. I'm surprised really it has happened as fast as it has.

we went with DIY kitchens just for the cupboards units and worktops (3 weeks delivery time) when we removed the old kitchen most of the plaster fell off the walls so we got a plasterer that was one week for the plaster to dry and two days to paint the walls and do second coat we did that ,then the electrician came in to put in new pcp board and the sockets we wanted, that was two days work, then fitters of the kitchen quicker as units were pre made up that was two days so overall actual kitchen going in from start to finish just over two weeks without tiling between units my OH did that our kitchen is 11 foot wide 14 foot long so not huge

I booked my builder in July last year. The kitchen (Howden's) was delivered at the end of September (to be fair, I chose that date as I got free delivery), building work (wall removal, replastering, new electrics, flooring) started at the beginning of November and it was all finished exactly a month later.
