Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our kitchen installation service. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Do you offer a warranty or aftercare on your installations?

Yes, snagging and aftercare are included as standard with every installation. If anything needs adjusting after completion, simply get in touch and we'll arrange for it to be resolved.

What makes Surchan Kitchen different from other fitters?

We provide one team managing every trade, a genuine fixed-price quote, in-house Gas Safe engineers, and aftercare included as standard - meaning you deal with a single point of contact from start to finish, not multiple separate tradespeople.

Can you install a kitchen in an occupied home while we continue living there?

Yes, most of our installations take place in occupied homes. We work cleanly and tidily, protect flooring and adjoining rooms, and where possible try to keep some kitchen facilities usable during the project.

What payment stages do you require?

Payment stages are agreed in writing at the quotation stage, typically an initial deposit to secure your installation date, with further stages linked to project milestones. We never ask for full payment upfront.

Do you offer kitchen design services, or only installation?

Our core focus is professional installation, but we're happy to advise on layout, storage and practical design decisions during your free survey, helping you get the most out of your space before you finalise your order.

Can you match the finish of my existing kitchen for a partial renovation?

In many cases, yes. We can discuss matching cabinet finishes, worktops or hardware for partial renovations and extensions, though exact matches depend on whether the original range is still available from the manufacturer.

How do I get started with a quote?

Simply get in touch via our contact form, phone or WhatsApp with some details about your project. We'll arrange a free home survey and follow up with a detailed, fixed-price quote in writing.

Do you work with landlords and property developers?

Yes, we regularly work with landlords, developers and interior designers on single kitchen installations as well as larger multi-unit projects, with flexible scheduling to suit project timelines.

What happens if you find a problem once work has started?

If we identify an issue once work has started - such as damp, structural concerns or unexpected wiring - we'll flag it immediately, explain the options clearly, and agree next steps with you before proceeding.

Do you carry out tiling and splashback installation?

Yes, tiling and splashback installation is included in our full-service offering, along with silicone sealing and finishing details for a clean, professional result.

Can you install appliances as part of the kitchen fit?

Yes, we install and connect both integrated and freestanding appliances, including ovens, hobs, extractor fans, dishwashers, fridges and washing machines, ensuring everything is properly fitted and tested.

Do I need to be present during the installation?

You don't need to be present for the entire installation, but we do recommend being available at the start and end of each day, and for any key decisions such as appliance positioning or worktop templating.

What if my walls are uneven or the room isn't a standard shape?

This is very common, especially in older London properties. Our fitters are experienced with uneven walls, awkward layouts and non-standard room shapes, and will ensure cabinets and panels are properly aligned regardless.

Which kitchen brands do you install?

We install kitchens from all leading UK and European suppliers including Wren, IKEA, Howdens, Magnet, Wickes, DIY Kitchens, Benchmarx, Kutchenhaus, Nobilia, and bespoke custom cabinet makers. If you've already ordered your kitchen, we can fit it regardless of where you purchased it.

Can you fit worktops as part of the installation?

Yes, we coordinate and fit worktops in a range of materials including laminate, solid wood, quartz and granite, working with trusted templating and fabrication partners for stone surfaces.

Do you handle electrical work during installation?

Yes, our team carries out all electrical work associated with the installation, including socket relocation, lighting, appliance wiring and connections, all completed to current regulations.

Is the price you quote fixed, or can it change once work starts?

Our quotes are fixed price. Once we've surveyed your kitchen and agreed a price, that's what you pay - there are no surprise costs added part-way through the job unless you request additional work.

What areas of London do you cover?

We cover most of Central and West London, including Westminster, Camden, Kensington & Chelsea, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and surrounding boroughs. Get in touch to confirm coverage for your specific postcode.

Do you remove and dispose of my old kitchen?

Yes, we handle the complete removal of your existing kitchen, including cabinets, worktops, appliances, sinks and splashbacks, along with responsible disposal of all waste materials.

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Yes, any gas work required during your installation - such as connecting a gas hob or moving a gas supply - is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers as part of our in-house team.

Do you provide a free home survey before quoting?

Yes, we carry out a free, no-obligation home survey before providing a fixed-price quote. This allows us to measure accurately, check access, and identify anything that might affect the installation.

How long does a typical kitchen installation take?

Most kitchen installations are completed within 1-2 weeks, depending on the size of the room and the amount of additional work required, such as rewiring, plastering or structural changes.

Can you install a kitchen I have already bought?

Absolutely. We specialise in fitting supply-only kitchens purchased directly by homeowners from any manufacturer or retailer, including flat-pack kitchens that still need full assembly and installation.

How much does kitchen installation cost in London?

Costs depend on the size of the kitchen, the complexity of the layout and the trades required. We provide a fully detailed, transparent fixed-price quote following a free home survey, with no hidden costs added later.

Do you only install kitchens, or can you manage the full project?

We offer a complete turnkey installation service, managing plumbing, gas work, electrical rewiring, plastering, tiling, flooring and waste disposal under one fixed price, with a single point of contact throughout.

Still Have Questions About Your Kitchen Installation? – Surchan Kitchen

What Our Clients Say

From the very first survey to the final clean-up, the whole process was seamless. Our handleless kitchen in Kensington turned out exactly as we'd hoped - sleek, practical, and beautifully finished. Communication throughout was excellent, and every trade turned up exactly when they said they would.

Oliver & Sophia Bennett

We couldn't be happier with our new shaker kitchen in Richmond. The team managed everything - plumbing, electrics, plastering - without a single hiccup. The navy blue cabinetry looks stunning and the custom pantry unit has completely changed how we store things. Highly recommend.

James & Charlotte Davies

As someone who entertains often, I needed a kitchen that could keep up. Surchan Kitchen delivered a genuinely industrial-style space in Chelsea that's both striking and durable. The fixed price they quoted at the start was exactly what I paid - no surprises, no add-ons.

Alexander Wright

Our Marylebone kitchen installation was handled with real professionalism from start to finish. The oak finishes and marble worktops were fitted with incredible precision, and the team was respectful of our home throughout the whole project. We'd use them again without hesitation.

Liam & Maya Patel

I have a small flat in Notting Hill and honestly didn't think I'd get this much storage out of the space. The team was creative with the layout and every recommendation they made turned out to be the right one. Tidy, professional, and finished on schedule.

Emily Clarke

Renovating a period property in Mayfair comes with its own challenges, but Surchan Kitchen handled it brilliantly. The sage green cabinetry and the wine display unit are exactly what we envisioned. Every member of the team was courteous and clearly experienced.

Edward & Victoria Hastings

Our Chiswick kitchen is now the heart of the house. The terracotta and off-white combination was a bold choice but the team executed it perfectly. The extended dining table built into the island has become everyone's favourite spot. Great value and great communication.

Benjamin & Chloe Evans

With four kids at home, we needed something that could withstand daily chaos. The Ealing installation has held up brilliantly and looks just as good months later. The team clearly understood what a busy family kitchen actually needs, not just how it should look.

Thomas & Grace Robinson

Straightforward, honest, and well priced. My Hammersmith kitchen was completed on time with no unexpected costs. I appreciated how clearly everything was explained before work started, and the finish quality has genuinely exceeded what I paid for.

Daniel Harris

Surchan Kitchen transformed our outdated galley kitchen into something we're genuinely proud of. The survey process was thorough and the final quote matched exactly what we were told at the start. Couldn't recommend the team more.

Sophie Turner

We interviewed three companies before choosing Surchan Kitchen, and it was the right decision. Their attention to detail during the planning stage saved us from several layout mistakes we hadn't considered. The finished kitchen speaks for itself.

Rebecca & Mark Foster

Professional from day one. The old kitchen was removed and the new one installed within the timeframe we were given, and the finish is excellent. It's rare to find a company that does exactly what it says it will, but that's exactly what happened here.
