Kitchen fitters in South London
Full kitchen installation, start to finish. We fit the units and handle the electrics, plumbing, worktops, tiling and the old kitchen too, so you deal with one team, not five.
Fitted kitchen installation in South London, done as one job
You’ve picked your kitchen. Now you need someone to fit it, and to sort out the electrics, plumbing, worktops, tiling and the removal of your old kitchen.
That’s usually four or five different trades, and you end up being the project manager. Most kitchen companies only offer a “dry fit”. They install the units and leave the room as it is. Then you’re finding an electrician, a Gas Safe engineer, a tiler and a decorator, and trying to get them to turn up in the right order.
We do it as one job. Urban Kitchens handles full kitchen installation across South London, from Battersea and Brixton out to Croydon and Bromley. Our fitting teams run each job themselves and bring in our own electricians, gas engineers and plumbers when needed. One quote, one schedule, one team to call.
We’re not the cheapest way to get units on a wall. But you won’t have to manage five contractors, and you won’t be left with a kitchen that’s half-finished.

How much does kitchen installation cost in South London?
The range is wide because jobs are different. Some people only need the units fitted. Others want the full job: the old kitchen taken out, electrics and plumbing moved, worktops fitted, splashbacks tiled. The size of the kitchen, the layout and the state of the walls and floors all play a part too.
We’ll give you a fixed written quote once we’ve seen your plans and photos, or after a survey. It won’t grow once we’ve started unless you ask us to add something.
Most installations come to

Barnes, Mortlake, East Sheen and Richmond, a short hop over the river from our Chiswick base. We also go out to Bexleyheath and Sidcup, and over the Surrey border to Epsom, Esher, Banstead and Reigate. Further north?

Kitchen brands we fit in South London
As independent kitchen fitters, we’re not tied to one retailer. Most of our South London jobs are kitchens people have already ordered from a big retailer and now need fitting properly. We know these ranges well, including their quirks.
We also fit German kitchens such as Häcker, Schüller, Nolte, Leicht and Rotpunkt, Italian kitchens, and bespoke kitchens from independent makers. If your brand isn’t listed, ask. We’ve probably fitted it. See all the kitchen brands we install.
Fitting a kitchen in a South London home: what to know
South London housing is a real mix, from Victorian terraces to riverside new-builds and suburban semis. These are the things we plan for most often here.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Clapham, Brixton, Herne Hill, East Dulwich, Balham, Brockley. Lovely houses, but the walls are rarely straight and the floors rarely level. Older wiring and pipework often needs updating before a new kitchen goes in. We check all this at the survey, so it’s in the quote and not a surprise halfway through.
Kitchen-diner extensions
A lot of South London terraces have had a side-return or rear extension to make room for a kitchen-diner. If your builder is finishing the shell, we pick up from there. It helps to involve us before the builder’s first fix, so the sockets and pipes end up where the kitchen needs them.
Riverside and new-build flats
Nine Elms, Battersea, Vauxhall and Greenwich Peninsula have plenty of newer blocks with a concierge and building management. They usually want contractors booked in, a loading bay slot, a reserved service lift and paperwork before work starts. Tell us the building’s rules early and we’ll sort the rest with them.
1930s semis in the suburbs
Croydon, Bromley, Sutton and Morden have streets of 1930s houses, often with a small kitchen and a wall people want gone. If a wall is coming out, that’s a job for a builder and usually a structural engineer. We take over once the room is ready, and can plan the kitchen layout with you beforehand.
Parking
Large parts of Lambeth, Southwark and Wandsworth are controlled parking zones. We may ask you to arrange visitor permits or a bay suspension for the van. Further out it’s usually easier. If parking costs apply, they’re in the quote, not added later.
Listed homes and conservation areas
Dulwich, Clapham Old Town, Greenwich and Blackheath have a lot of protected homes. Replacing a kitchen inside the house doesn’t usually need planning permission, but listed buildings are different. If your home is listed, check with your council first. We’ll work to whatever they approve.

Why South London homeowners choose us
We’re London kitchen fitters, and we’ve been fitting kitchens and furniture in London homes since 2012. Our fitters aren’t a rotating list of subcontractors. They’re two established teams who know each other’s work and run each job themselves.
Gas work is done by Gas Safe registered engineers, and electrical work by qualified electricians. Our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers anything caused by how we fitted the kitchen: a unit that drops out of level, a hinge that works loose, a worktop joint that opens up. If it’s our fault, we come back and fix it at no charge.
We’re based in Chiswick, at The LightBox on Power Road, W4, just over the river from Barnes and Putney. Our teams travel to jobs right across South London, and you’re welcome to visit us to talk through your project in person.
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover all of South London?
Yes. Our kitchen fitters work across Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth, Lewisham, Greenwich, Merton, Croydon, Bromley, Sutton and Kingston, plus nearby areas like Barnes, Richmond and the Surrey border. If you’re unsure, send us your postcode and we’ll confirm.
Do you just fit the units, or the whole kitchen?
The whole kitchen, if you want it. That covers removing the old kitchen, plumbing and electrical work, gas connections, plastering, units, worktops, appliances, tiling, flooring and decorating. You can also book individual services, like just a worktop or just the disposal.
Can you fit a kitchen I’ve already bought?
Yes, and most of our South London work is exactly that. We fit kitchens from Howdens, Wren, IKEA, Magnet, Wickes, DIY Kitchens, B&Q and many others, plus German, Italian and bespoke kitchens.
How much does kitchen installation cost in South London?
Most of our kitchen installations come to between £2,000 and £6,000. Where yours lands depends on the size of the kitchen and what’s included. A straightforward fit of the units sits towards the lower end. Adding old kitchen removal, electrics, plumbing, worktop installation and tiled splashbacks takes it higher. That’s for the installation work, not the kitchen itself. We give you a clear written quote before any work starts.
How long does it take to install a kitchen?
Most installations take 3 to 7 days on site, depending on the size of the kitchen and the scope of work. Stone worktops need a separate templating visit and a wait while they’re made. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the quote stage.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Usually 2 to 6 weeks. If you already have a delivery date for your kitchen, get in touch as early as you can so we can plan around it.
Do I need to arrange my own electrician or gas engineer?
No. Electrical work is done by our qualified electricians, and gas connections by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It’s all part of one quote, so you don’t have to coordinate separate trades.
I live in a new-build flat with a concierge. Can you still fit my kitchen?
Yes. Most managed buildings want contractors booked in, a loading bay or service lift reserved, and some paperwork before work starts. Let us know the building’s rules and the managing agent’s contact, and we’ll plan the job around them.
What about parking? I’m in a controlled parking zone.
That’s common in inner South London. We may ask you to sort out visitor permits or a bay suspension. If there are parking costs, we include them in the quote so there’s nothing unexpected later.
Will you take away my old kitchen?
Yes. We remove the old units, worktops and tiles and dispose of everything. You don’t need to book a skip.
Do you need to visit before giving a quote?
Not always. For many kitchens we can quote from your plans and photos on WhatsApp. For larger jobs, or older properties where the walls and services need checking, we’ll arrange a survey first.
What guarantee do you give?
Our 12-month workmanship guarantee covers any problem caused by the way we fitted the kitchen. Faults with the products themselves, like a faulty door or appliance, are covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty.
Will using an independent fitter affect my kitchen warranty?
For most brands, no. Manufacturers’ warranties cover manufacturing faults whoever fits the kitchen. What they won’t cover is damage caused by poor installation, which is why our own guarantee matters. Check your brand’s terms and register your warranty. We’ve written more about this on our Wren installation page.
Can you just fit my worktops, or just take out my old kitchen?
Yes. You can book worktop installation, kitchen removal or any other single service on its own.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Chiswick, W4, at The LightBox on Power Road, just over the river from Barnes and Putney. We’ve worked across London since 2012, and our teams travel to kitchen installations all over South London.
