We Install DIY Kitchens. Properly.
DIY Kitchens has built a strong reputation for supplying well-made, flat-pack kitchen units at genuinely competitive prices. Thousands of homeowners across the UK order from them every year — and then face the same challenge: finding someone who knows how to install them correctly.
We do. Urban Kitchens installs DIY Kitchens across London and the surrounding counties. One team, one quote, everything handled — from removing your old kitchen to the final plumbing, tiling and finishing work.
Our DIY Kitchens Installation Services
DIY Kitchens supplies the units — we handle everything from delivery day onwards. Whether you need the full installation or just specific trades, we scope it to your project.
Old Kitchen Removal and Disposal
We strip your existing kitchen completely — units, worktops, tiles, appliances. Everything removed and disposed of responsibly. You won’t be left with a pile of old kitchen units waiting for a skip.
Full Assembly and Fitting
Every DIY Kitchens unit assembled, levelled and fixed to your walls and floor. DIY Kitchens carcasses are well-made but they still require careful installation — especially in older London properties where walls and floors are rarely truly level.
Appliance Installation
Oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, washing machine — all installed and connected. Integrated or freestanding. We test everything before we leave.
Plumbing and Water Connections
Sink, dishwasher and washing machine connections handled in-house by our own team. No subcontractors — the same people fitting your kitchen handle the plumbing.
Gas Connections
Gas hob connections require a Gas Safe registered engineer. We coordinate this as part of the installation — every gas connection is done to the required standard and signed off.
Tiling and Finishing
Splashback tiling, silicone joints, trims and all the finishing details that determine whether your kitchen looks professionally installed. This is where the difference between a good and a poor installation is most visible.
Why a Specialist Matters for DIY Kitchens
DIY Kitchens is an online-only brand — there’s no showroom, no local support network, and no installation team. That’s part of how they keep their prices down. But it means you’re responsible for finding a competent installer yourself.
The carcasses are solid, but the installation still needs to be done in the right sequence. Cabinets need to be level before worktops are measured. Plumbing needs to be in position before units go in. Walls sometimes need preparation before fixing. An experienced installer knows this. A general handyman often doesn’t — which is why DIY Kitchens units end up being refitted more often than they should be.
We’ve installed a lot of DIY Kitchens across London. We know how they go together and where issues typically arise.

- Delivery coordination — We work around your delivery date. Once everything arrives and is checked, we confirm the start date.
- Installation — Typically 3 to 5 days depending on the scope. A realistic timeline, not an optimistic one.
- Snagging and sign-off — We go through the whole kitchen with you before we leave. Doors adjusted, appliances tested, everything checked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install any DIY Kitchens range?
Yes. We’ve installed across their full range including handleless, painted, shaker and woodgrain finishes. The installation process is consistent regardless of door style.
Do you supply worktops or just fit them?
We can fit worktops supplied by DIY Kitchens, or supply and fit our own. For stone and quartz, we work with specialist fabricators. We’ll advise on the best option for your project.
Can you be present on delivery day?
Yes. We can attend delivery to check units as they arrive. If anything is damaged, it’s far easier to deal with before installation begins.
Do you handle the old kitchen removal?
Yes. Full removal and disposal is included in our quotes if required. We remove everything and take the rubbish with us.
How much does DIY Kitchens installation cost in London?
For most London projects, our labour runs between £2,000 and £5,500 depending on kitchen size, appliance scope, and first-fix requirements. We give fixed prices — not estimates that grow.
DIY Kitchens Ranges We Install
Handleless Ranges
Clean-line modern kitchens with J-pull or rail handles. Requires precise door alignment — gap consistency is what separates a professional installation from an amateur one on handleless kitchens.
Painted Ranges — Shaker and Slab
Painted MDF doors in a wide range of colours. Popular choice across London homes. The paint finish shows misalignment, so getting hinge settings exactly right matters more here than on other finishes.
Woodgrain and Natural Finishes
Woodgrain vinyl-wrapped doors that offer a warmer aesthetic. Durable and low-maintenance. Installation is straightforward but the carcass levelling is still critical for a quality result.
In-Frame Style
A framed look that bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary. Reveals and gap consistency around each door are what make or break this style.
What Does DIY Kitchens Installation Cost in London?
