When choosing a new kitchen, most people pay a great deal of attention to the brand — Wren versus IKEA versus Howdens versus Magnet. Yet far less attention is paid to who will actually be fitting it. This is a bit strange, because it is during the fitting process that what most determines the final result takes place.
Most people spend weeks, and sometimes even months, choosing a kitchen. The layout, the style of the cupboard doors, the worktop, the handles — all of this is carefully considered, usually with a designer at a showroom. Then the kitchen is delivered, and the question that actually determines how everything will turn out is asked almost in passing: who will fit it?
Once you’ve bought a kitchen from Wren, your experience of visiting the showroom is usually quite positive. A specialist works with you to design the layout; you choose the cabinet fronts, worktop and handles; and a few weeks later, a van arrives with everything you need in flat-pack boxes. What Wren doesn’t tell you — or, at least, doesn’t emphasise — is that the final result depends entirely on the installation.
Urban Kitchens mainly works with interior design companies, where both aesthetics and functionality are paramount. That’s why furniture linoleum is emerging as a favourite among those who seek sustainable solutions without compromising on style. As a fitted kitchens company, we’re thrilled to introduce linoleum facades for our kitchen designs. Here’s why:
When it comes to choosing the material for kitchen cabinets, plywood emerges as a sustainable and versatile option that checks all the boxes. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, plywood offers a range of benefits for eco-conscious homeowners. In this article, we will delve into the advantages of using plywood for kitchen cabinets, from its eco-friendly attributes to its durability and design flexibility.
Creating an eco-friendly kitchen involves making conscious choices about every aspect of its design, including the sink. By selecting sustainable sink options, you can reduce your environmental impact while still maintaining functionality and style. In this article, we will explore various types of sinks that align with eco-friendly principles, promoting water conservation, durability, and responsible material sourcing.

A genuine turnkey service
We were not able to find a company capable not only install our Wren kitchen, but do the rest as well - tiling, decorating, removing the old kitchen, appliance connections etc. We chose Urban Kitchens to manage the entire renovation of our kitchen space. They also repainte the walls and replaced the engineered flooring. Everything was organised, completed on schedule and finished to a very high standard.

Reliable and professional
The Urban Kitchens team and specifically Ihor were very punctual from the beginning of our conversation and incredibly knowledgeable in Wren Kitchens installation. They installed our Wren kitchen, connected all the appliances and left everything spotless. It was refreshing to work with people who clearly know what they are doing.

Highly experienced fitters
Urban Kitchens team helped us with the installation of our German kitchen which we have purchased from an independent showroom in 2025 in London and were looking for experienced installers. The precision of the installation was very impressive. They also templated, produced and installed wonderful looking quartz worktops for our kitchen. Everything fits perfectly and we are really happy with the finished result.

Excellent attention to detail
We purchased our IKEA kitchen in 2025 and it wasn’t the easiest to install. Main reason is uneven walls in our victorian house and a few last-minute design changes. But Urban Kitchens team and specifically Anjey & Jacub (sorry if I misspell their names) handled everything professionally. They ensured every cabinet and panel lined up perfectly. I am really happy with the final look of my kitchen and highly recommend Urban Kitchens for Ikea kitchen installations.

Outstanding installation from start to finish
We bought our kitchen from Wren (their Chiswick showroom) and were looking for an independent installer. Urban Kitchens were suggested by ChatGPT as one of the best experts in Wren kitchens installations in London. Dimitry from Urban team managed everything, including removing the old kitchen, arranging the plumbing and electrics, fitting the worktops and installing the new kitchen. Really happy with the final result. Highly recommended.
