Check the kitchen plan against the room

Check room dimensions, windows, doors and planned appliance positions against the current kitchen plan. A measured survey should reflect actual conditions. Uneven walls in particular may require fillers and adjustments.

The finished floor level and planned wall build-up affect installation. If these change later, the original plan may no longer fit.

Check that the delivery is complete

Missing fittings, incorrect fronts or damaged worktops can delay completion. Check the delivery against the parts list and report discrepancies promptly.

Installation requires sufficient working space and safe access. Agree who will remove packaging and old components.

  • Current kitchen plan and manufacturer's instructions
  • Complete cabinets, fronts and fittings
  • Suitable worktop and appliances
  • Clear access routes and installation area

Arrange service connections in advance

Water, drainage, electricity and, where applicable, gas must match appliance positions. Specialist connections must be agreed separately. Furniture assembly does not automatically include every installation task.

Regulated work must be carried out by appropriately authorised specialist contractors. Agree who will appoint them and when they will attend.

Allow time before using the kitchen

Duration and completion depend on kitchen size, adjustments, materials and delivery status. Agree the sequence using the actual plan. A time allowance is particularly useful if preparation or deliveries are still outstanding.
