How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Short answerThree to seven days of fitting on site, two to three weeks with tiling, plumbing and electrics.
Every stage, timed
| Stage | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Respray | 1 to 3 days | Some sprayers take the doors away. |
| Fitting the kitchen | 3 to 7 days | Units, worktop, sink and appliances. |
| Stone worktop | 5 to 10 working days | From templating to fitting. |
| The whole job | 2 to 3 weeks | With tiling, plumbing and electrics. |
| From first design to finished | 4 to 8 weeks | Including making the units. |
| Bespoke | 4 to 6 weeks of workshop time | Before anything comes to the house. |
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.
- Stone worktops: templated only once the units are in.
