Thinking about kitchen installation in Inverurie?
If the kitchen in your Inverurie home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job.
If you have bought a home in Inverurie with a small galley or a dated back kitchen, a new installation can make far better use of the same space. Inverurie sits about 14 miles north-west of Aberdeen, and our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage takes in everything in between.
What is in a typical job?
The exact scope is agreed after the survey, but a typical job in Inverurie covers:
- First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout

- Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover

House types around Inverurie and what they mean for a kitchen
You will find granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.
Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner. Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries.
Do you need approval for kitchen installation in Inverurie?
In Scotland, replacing kitchen fitments, adding an extractor fan and most electrical work in a house do not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for an Electrical Installation Certificate. Removing a load-bearing wall or changing how waste water is discharged needs a warrant first. Gas hobs must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Every home in Scotland must have an interlinked heat alarm in the kitchen, so it is kept or refitted, and tested, as part of the job.
Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.
Worth knowing before the fit
- If your house in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
- Keep the delivery note and plan together until the fit, so any missing parts can be reported to the supplier quickly.
- Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Inverurie home for a kettle and microwave.
- Leave every box sealed until the fit; parts get lost or damaged once packaging is opened and stacked around the house.
Questions about kitchen installation in Inverurie
How much does kitchen installation cost in Inverurie?
Guide prices in Inverurie are about £1,400 to £2,400 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.
Do you work near Inverurie as well?
Yes. As well as Inverurie itself, we cover the rest of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire and nearby towns such as Aberdeen and Stonehaven. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
Will you fit a kitchen I have bought myself?
Yes. We fit kitchens bought from any retailer, trade counter or online supplier, flat-pack or rigid. On the survey we check the plan, and before fitting we check the delivery against it. Missing or damaged parts are for the supplier to replace, and we tell you straight away so the fit can be re-planned.
What order does a kitchen installation follow?
The usual sequence is strip-out, any structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, base and wall units, worktops, second fix of sockets, sink, tap and appliances, then splashbacks, flooring and decorating. Some floors go down before the units and some after, depending on the floor type, which we agree at the survey.
Can I use my kitchen during the installation?
Not for most of it. Once the old kitchen comes out there is no sink or cooker until the new one is connected, usually a week or two for an average kitchen. We plan the job so the water and power are off for as little time as possible, and we tell you which days will be the most disruptive.
