How Long Does Kitchen Installation Take?

Planning a new kitchen renovation? One of the first questions homeowners ask is, "How long does kitchen installation take?" The answer depends on 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, while 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 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 begin cabinet assembly straight away.

Day 2 – Cabinet Assembly & Installation

We assemble and professionally install all kitchen cabinets, including:

• 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 can 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 and 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 different, but careful planning helps keep everything on schedule.

Why Choose a Professional Kitchen Installer?

Professional installation ensures your cabinets are perfectly level, securely fixed and accurately aligned before the benchtops are installed. It also reduces costly mistakes, prevents delays and ensures your kitchen is built to last.
