Planning a New Kitchen Renovation? Here’s What You Need to Know


Are you considering a kitchen renovation? One of the first questions I often hear is, "How long does kitchen installation take?" The answer varies based on several factors. These include the size of your kitchen, the complexity of the design, and whether you're replacing an existing kitchen or installing one in a new home.


At Assembly Experts, we specialise in professional flatpack kitchen installation throughout Adelaide. Most standard kitchen installations are completed within 3 to 4 days. However, larger or more complex renovations may take a little longer.



Typical Kitchen Installation Timeline


Day 1 – Kitchen Removal & Preparation


If you're replacing an existing kitchen, we begin by carefully removing the old cabinets, benchtops, and fixtures. This process may include:


  • Kitchen demolition and disposal

  • Removing cabinets and benchtops

  • Preparing walls and floors

  • Site clean-up ready for installation


If no existing kitchen needs to be removed, we can start cabinet assembly right away.


Day 2 – Cabinet Assembly & Installation


On the second day, we assemble and professionally install all kitchen cabinets, which include:


  • Base cabinets

  • Wall cabinets

  • Pantry units

  • Drawers and doors

  • Internal fittings

  • Panels, fillers, and kickboards


Every cabinet is levelled, secured, and aligned to ensure a perfect finish.


Day 3 – Benchtops & Finishing


For laminate kitchens, we install the benchtops, complete sink and cooktop cut-outs, fit handles, adjust doors and drawers, and carry out the finishing touches. For engineered stone benchtops, the stone supplier will complete the final measure after the cabinets have been installed. They will return approximately 7–14 days later to install the benchtops.


Day 4 – Final Adjustments


The final day typically includes:


  • Final cabinet and door adjustments

  • Installing cover panels and fillers

  • Silicone and finishing trims

  • Cleaning the cabinets

  • Final quality inspection


Once the plumbing and electrical work has been completed by licensed trades, your new kitchen is ready to enjoy.


What Can Affect the Installation Time?


Several factors can influence how long your kitchen installation will take, including:


  • Kitchen size and layout

  • Existing kitchen removal

  • Wall or floor repairs

  • Plumbing or electrical modifications

  • Stone benchtop installation

  • Appliance installation


Every project is unique, but careful planning helps keep everything on schedule.


Why Choose a Professional Kitchen Installer?


Choosing a professional installer ensures your cabinets are perfectly level, securely fixed, and accurately aligned before the benchtops are installed. This reduces costly mistakes, prevents delays, and ensures your kitchen is built to last.

The Importance of Planning


Planning is crucial for a successful kitchen renovation. It helps you visualise the final outcome and ensures that everything runs smoothly. Take the time to consider your needs and preferences. Think about the layout, storage options, and appliances you want. This will make the installation process much easier.


Choosing the Right Materials


Selecting the right materials can significantly impact the durability and appearance of your kitchen. Consider options like laminate, engineered stone, or solid timber for your benchtops. Each material has its pros and cons, so choose one that fits your lifestyle and budget.


Understanding Your Budget


Establishing a clear budget is essential. This will help you make informed decisions about materials, appliances, and installation services. Be sure to include a buffer for unexpected expenses. This way, you won't be caught off guard during the renovation process.


The Role of Design


A well-thought-out design can enhance the functionality of your kitchen. Consider how you use the space and what features are most important to you. Open shelving, for example, can create a modern look while providing easy access to your kitchen essentials.


Final Thoughts


A kitchen renovation can be a rewarding experience. With careful planning, the right materials, and professional installation, you can create a space that meets your needs and enhances your home. Remember, at Assembly Experts, we are here to make your kitchen installation hassle-free.
