Our Kitchen Fitting Services

Flagship Service

Full Kitchen Installation

Our comprehensive installation package is designed for homeowners wanting a hassle-free, turn-key transformation. We manage every stage of your renovation project from the initial rip-out of your old kitchen units to the final lick of paint. You won't need to spend time chasing electricians, plumbers, or tilers; we coordinate the entire schedule with our team of trusted local Hampshire professionals.

Steve leads each installation personally, ensuring that your cabinet structures are perfectly level, doors are aligned to the millimeter, and structural joins are rock-solid. We work closely with leading suppliers but fit bespoke components just as easily, working around the structural quirks of older properties in Southsea and Portsmouth.

We understand that living without a kitchen is stressful. That's why we coordinate plumbers and electricians to ensure that water, gas, and power are reconnected as quickly as possible during the mid-stages of the build, keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.

What's Included:
  • Complete rip-out and disposal of old kitchen units
  • Structural carpentry, drywall repair, and plastering
  • Certified electrical work (sockets, LED under-cabinet lighting)
  • Gas Safe plumbing for sinks, taps, washing machines, and hobs
  • Precision fitting of all carcass units, trims, and panels
  • Wall and floor tiling or splashback fitting
Who It's For:

Homeowners planning a complete, top-to-bottom kitchen remodel who want a single point of contact and guaranteed, professional results from start to finish.

Supply & Fit Service

If you've already ordered your dream kitchen from Howdens, Wren, Magnet, or IKEA, or have a design ready to go, our Supply & Fit service is the perfect match. We take your design plans, verify the measurements to make sure there are no delivery surprises, and supply the underlying trade materials (adhesives, pipes, screws, structural brackets) while fitting your chosen range.

Buying direct from a supplier and using a private fitter is often significantly more cost-effective than using the supplier's in-house sub-contracted installation teams. Furthermore, because we are an independent Portsmouth team, our reputation is built on quality, not speed. We don't rush projects to get to the next contract.

Before your delivery date, we conduct a pre-installation site check. We inspect your layout drawings against the physical room measurements to make sure the supplier hasn't missed any pipe boxing or awkward corner tolerances, saving you weeks of delay.

What's Included:
  • Comprehensive verification of your kitchen design dimensions
  • Direct trade coordination with Wren, Howdens, Magnet, etc.
  • Fitting of standard or custom kitchen cabinets and hardware
  • Fitting of appliances, sinks, taps, and worktops
  • Professional adaptation of units to fit surrounding walls
Who It's For:

Customers who want to take advantage of trade kitchen pricing or store-bought packages, but want a superior, dedicated installation finish that store fitters rarely match.

Budget Friendly

Kitchen Refurbishment

You don't always need to tear down your entire kitchen to achieve a modern, beautiful look. If your cabinet carcasses are structurally sound and dry, a professional facelift can save you thousands of pounds while making your kitchen look brand new. Our refurbishment service replaces the visible elements of your kitchen while keeping the solid structure intact.

We replace old cabinet door fronts and drawer covers with custom-sized modern alternatives, upgrade old squeaky hinges to modern soft-close mechanisms, and install premium new handles. Combined with a fresh worktop and updated tiling, this transforms the space in a fraction of the time of a full install.

A refurbishment typically takes only 2 to 4 days to complete, meaning your kitchen remains functional throughout most of the process. It's a clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly renovation option.

What's Included:
  • Inspection and structural reinforcement of existing cabinet carcasses
  • Removal and eco-friendly disposal of old doors and handles
  • Installation of new doors, drawer fronts, plinths, and cornices
  • Upgrading to premium soft-close hinges and sliders
  • Fitting of new handles, matching end panels, and kickboards
Who It's For:

Homeowners on a budget, landlords looking to refresh a rental property between tenants, or anyone wanting a fast cosmetic upgrade with minimal mess.

Craftsmanship Focused

Worktop Only Replacement

Updating your kitchen worktops is one of the most effective ways to elevate the entire look and feel of the room. We specialize in precision cuts, seamless butt-and-scribe joins, and custom under-mount sink cutouts for a clean, premium surface finish. A poorly joined worktop will absorb moisture and fail, which is why hiring a professional carpenter is critical.

We work with a wide selection of materials. Solid timber worktops like oak or walnut add natural warmth but require precise oiling. High-pressure laminates are durable and budget-friendly. Quartz and composite stone offer luxury, heat-resistance, and structural longevity.

We handle all aspects of the swap, including templating the walls, making the cuts with dust extraction tools, installing moisture barriers, and sealing all junctions with high-performance silicone.

What's Included:
  • Accurate templating of walls (handling out-of-square walls)
  • Precision cutting using professional routing templates
  • Butt-and-scribe joints secured with heavy-duty worktop bolts
  • Cutouts for hobs, sinks, and taps with moisture sealing
  • Sanding, oiling (for solid timber), or edge-banding
Who It's For:

Homeowners looking to upgrade to luxury quartz or solid wood surfaces, or replace damaged, water-swollen laminate tops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common queries regarding kitchen installations, budgets, and processes in Portsmouth.

How long does a kitchen fit take?

A standard kitchen installation typically takes between 1 to 2 weeks. A straight 'Supply & Fit' of cabinets and laminate worktops usually takes 5 to 7 working days. A full kitchen remodel (including rip-out, re-plastering, new electrics, tiling, and appliances) can take 10 to 14 working days. We will always give you a clear schedule before we start work.

Do you supply the kitchen or just fit?

We do both! We have trade accounts with leading suppliers like Howdens, Wren, and Magnet, allowing us to supply high-quality kitchens at discounted trade rates. However, if you have already bought your own kitchen, we are more than happy to provide a fitting-only service.

Are you insured?

Yes, absolutely. Portsmouth Kitchen Fitting Co. holds comprehensive £5 million Public Liability Insurance. All of our team and tradespeople are fully insured, giving you absolute peace of mind while we work on your property.

Do you handle plumbing and electrics?

Yes. We manage the entire installation including plumbing and electrics. For plumbing, we work with qualified professionals, and for gas, we only use Gas Safe registered engineers. All electrical work (such as moving sockets or wiring hobs) is completed by NICEIC registered electricians who issue building compliance certificates.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Portsmouth and cover the entire city, including Southsea, Milton, Eastney, Fratton, Copnor, Hilsea, Cosham, and Drayton. We also travel to surrounding Hampshire areas such as Fareham, Gosport, Havant, Waterlooville, and Hayling Island.

Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

Yes, we stand behind our craftsmanship. We provide a robust 2-year guarantee on all kitchen installation workmanship. This is in addition to the manufacturer warranties on your appliances, cabinets, and worktops (which can range from 5 to 25 years depending on the brand).

How much does a kitchen fitting cost in Portsmouth?

Fitting costs depend heavily on size and complexity. As a general guide in Portsmouth, fitting a small kitchen starts around £1,500 to £2,500. A medium-sized kitchen fitting usually costs between £2,500 and £4,500. Large projects or open-plan transformations requiring structural adjustments start from £5,000. Refurbishments or worktop swaps are significantly cheaper. Contact us for a free, exact quote.
