Complete IKEA Installation
London Kitchen Fitting provides a full IKEA kitchen installation service that covers everything from start to finish. Our team specialises in turning flat-pack challenges into fitted solutions that work perfectly in London homes:
Kitchen Removal
Appliance Fitting
Flooring Installation
We start by carefully dismantling your old kitchen, making sure everything's disposed of responsibly. Then comes the foundation work: preparing walls, ceilings, and subfloors so they're ready for your new IKEA kitchen. This is crucial, especially in London homes where walls are often far from level. Without proper preparation, even the best IKEA rail systems won't sit right.
UK appliances don't always play nicely with IKEA dimensions, but our fitters know exactly how to adapt them. We use fillers and custom adjustments to make sure ovens, dishwashers, and fridges sit flush and look built-in. Gas appliances? Gas Safe engineers only. Electrics? Certified under Part P by our NICEIC or NAPIT-registered electricians.
We'll also install any flooring you've chosen, be it vinyl, laminate, or whatever works for your space. Subfloors get properly prepared, acoustic underlay goes in where needed (especially important in flats), and every detail is finished to professional standards.
Worktops and Surfaces
Plumbing and Sinks
Cabinets and Rail Mounting
Tiling and Splashbacks
IKEA offers everything from laminate and wood to quartz and stone-effect worktops. We cut, mitre, and seal each surface to perfection, making sure joints are watertight and everything's properly supported. Heavy stone or composite worktops get extra reinforcement, because a beautiful worktop that sags isn't beautiful for long.
Our plumbers fit sinks, taps, and waste systems, carefully adapting pipework where IKEA's designs leave less clearance than UK-standard units. Everything gets pressure-tested, and we'll advise on filtration or limescale prevention.
IKEA's METOD range uses a clever wall rail system combined with flat-pack cabinets. It's flexible, yes, but it demands precise levelling and alignment. Our installers assemble each unit properly, reinforce where needed, and mount everything to guarantee stability and perfect spacing across your kitchen.
Whether you're going for minimalist splashbacks or striking tile choices, we prepare surfaces and install everything with precision. The result? A durable, easy-to-clean finish that complements your kitchen design perfectly.

Our IKEA Specialisation
We've fitted countless IKEA kitchens across London, giving us detailed knowledge of the brand's unique systems and quirks. Every IKEA kitchen installation comes together seamlessly, adapted to suit UK homes and building regulations.
Mastery of METOD
IKEA's METOD system is modular and rail-mounted, which offers great flexibility and design freedom. But precise levelling and anchoring are essential if you want to avoid problems down the line. We've got extensive experience fitting METOD rail systems, making sure cabinets align seamlessly even against London's famously uneven walls.
Non-standard Dimensions
Unlike UK-standard kitchens, IKEA units are generally deeper, and their worktops measure 63.5cm rather than 60cm. These differences can create challenges with appliances and service points. Our team know exactly how to make the necessary adjustments, ensuring perfect integration with UK-standard appliances and utilities.
Flat-pack Assembly
IKEA kitchens arrive flat-packed, which keeps costs down but puts extra responsibility on correct assembly. We carefully build each unit, reinforce weak points, and make sure fixings are secure. The result? A robust, long-lasting installation that'll stand up to real life.
Fillers and Cover Panels
To get a bespoke, fitted look in your London home, filler strips, cover panels, and precise scribing are often essential. We specialise in these finishing details, making sure gaps disappear, lines are flush, and your kitchen looks tailor-made rather than modular.
Accessory Integrations
IKEA's kitchens are famous for their smart storage systems: MAXIMERA drawers, UTRUSTA hinges, and integrated lighting. We fit these accessories with precision, making sure they perform smoothly and add genuine functionality to your finished kitchen.
London Adaptations
From narrow Victorian terraces to modern flats, London homes often have quirks like alcoves, chimney breasts, and tight staircases. Our experience means we can customise IKEA units to fit seamlessly into these environments without compromising durability or style.

Why IKEA Kitchens?
IKEA have become one of the most popular kitchen brands in London, and it's easy to see why. Here are five key reasons why many opt for an IKEA kitchen:
Accessible Quality
IKEA kitchens are budget-friendly compared to many other brands, but they still offer reliable quality. With professional kitchen fitters handling the installation and reinforcement, they can deliver excellent durability
at a fraction of the cost of premium suppliers.
Modular Flexibility
The METOD system is highly adaptable, allowing kitchens to be configured in countless ways. This modular approach makes IKEA particularly suitable for London homes
where space is often limited and layouts can be irregular.
Contemporary Design
From sleek, handleless gloss doors to classic Shaker-inspired finishes, IKEA covers a wide range of styles. Their Scandinavian design influence ensures kitchens
remain modern, functional, and visually appealing.
Smart Storage
IKEA's accessories, namely MAXIMERA drawers, UTRUSTA hinges, and integrated organisers, are designed to maximise storage and usability. These features are especially valuable in London flats and smaller properties
where space efficiency is essential.
Warranties and Sustainability
Most IKEA kitchens come with a 25-year warranty, offering long-term reassurance. The company also invests heavily in sustainable practices, using FSC-certified wood and recycled materials in many ranges, making them
a greener choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
Why London Kitchen Fitting?
Choosing the right local kitchen fitters to design and install your kitchen is just as important as choosing the right style or materials. Here are four reasons why clients trust us with their homes:
20 Years of Trusted Experience
With two decades of fitting kitchens across London, we bring proven expertise to every project. Our work covers all aspects, from cabinetry and joinery to plumbing, electrics, tiling, and flooring, ensuring each kitchen gets delivered to the highest standard of safety, compliance, and craftsmanship.
Built to Last, Not Just Look Good
We believe function and beauty must go hand in hand. Every kitchen we fit is designed to handle real life, spills, gatherings, and busy routines while still looking stunning. By reinforcing flat-pack systems, carefully sealing worktops, and certifying every service, we make sure your kitchen isn't just impressive on day one, but durable for years to come.
All Under One Roof
Unlike many fitters, we take responsibility for the entire project. From the initial survey and design input to coordinating Gas Safe engineers, NICEIC electricians, and certified plumbers, we manage everything. That means no stress, no juggling trades: just one team guiding you all the way through.
Kitchens That Feel Truly Yours
Our philosophy is simple: a kitchen should feel like it belongs to you. Whether you're updating a dated space, making a new house feel like home, or adapting for a growing family, we tailor every installation to your lifestyle. The result is a kitchen that looks right, works beautifully, and gives your home the centre stage it deserves.

IKEA Kitchen Installation Process
At London Kitchen Fitting, we follow a structured process for IKEA kitchens that ensures every flat-pack unit, accessory, and appliance gets assembled and adapted to UK standards.
Beautifully fitted, compliant, and ready to last for years.
Step 1.
Survey and Preparation
We begin with a full survey of the room, checking dimensions, service locations, and property quirks.
Read more
Old kitchens are dismantled and disposed of responsibly, and the walls, floors, and ceilings are repaired or levelled where needed. This preparation is essential for IKEA's METOD rail system, which relies on perfectly even surfaces.
Step 2.
First-fix Services
Plumbing, electrical, and gas services get installed at this stage.
Read more
Because IKEA units are deeper than UK standards, service points must be carefully positioned to avoid clashes behind cabinets. Gas works are carried out exclusively by Gas Safe engineers, while all electrical work gets certified by NICEIC or NAPIT electricians in compliance with Part P. Ventilation ducts are also installed in line with Part F of the Building Regulations.
Step 3.
Cabinets and Rail Fitting
IKEA kitchens arrive flat-packed, requiring careful assembly.
Read more
Each cabinet gets built, reinforced where necessary, and hung securely on the METOD rail system. Our installers ensure every unit is perfectly level, adapting to uneven London walls and adjusting gaps with filler strips or cover panels where needed.
Step 4.
Worktops, Sinks, and Appliances
Once the cabinets are secured, we fit IKEA's wide choice of worktops;

From laminates and solid woods to quartz and stone effect. Worktops are cut, mitred, and sealed to ensure durability, especially around sinks and hobs. Appliances are then integrated, with adjustments made to align UK-standard ovens, dishwashers, and fridges to IKEA's non-standard cabinet sizes.
Step 5.
Finishing Details
We complete the installation with cover panels, fillers, plinths, cornices, splashbacks, and lighting.
Read more
These finishing touches are vital in IKEA kitchens, transforming modular systems into a fitted, bespoke look. Flooring can also be installed at this stage, with acoustic underlay in flats and apartments to minimise noise.
Step 6.
Testing and Certification
Every installation concludes with full testing of plumbing, electrics, and gas connections.

Clients receive certificates for compliance and IKEA's 25-year product warranties. The kitchen gets thoroughly cleaned, checked, and handed over ready for immediate use.

IKEA Kitchen FAQs
How Much Does an IKEA Kitchen Installation Cost in London?
Costs vary depending on the size of the kitchen and the specification. As a guide, installation-only projects generally start from £3,000–£5,000, while full refurbishments including flooring, tiling, and service upgrades can range from £7,000–£15,000+.
We always provide written quotations for transparency.
Please get in touch with us for your tailored quote.
How Long Does It Take to Install an IKEA Kitchen?
Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the design. A standard IKEA kitchen in London typically takes 1–2 weeks, while larger or more bespoke projects involving curved units, tall cabinetry, flooring, or tiling may take 2–3 weeks.
We always provide clear timelines before work begins.
Please get in touch with us for a more tailored estimate.
Are IKEA Kitchens Good Quality?
Yes. IKEA kitchens are very popular because they combine affordability with stylish design and robust warranties (up to 25 years on most ranges). However, as flat-pack systems, their long-term durability depends heavily on the quality of the installation. With professional assembly and reinforcement, they can perform to a high standard for decades.
Do I Need Planning Permission to Install an IKEA Kitchen?
In most cases, no planning permission is required as the work is internal. Exceptions include listed buildings, flats with freeholder restrictions, or if structural changes are being made. We advise clients case by case, drawing on our experience fitting kitchens across London's varied housing stock.
What Is the IKEA METOD System?
METOD is IKEA's modular kitchen system, launched in 2014 to replace FAKTUM. It uses a wall rail to hang cabinets and offers a wide range of flexible sizing options. While this makes layouts highly adaptable, it requires precise levelling and skilled assembly to achieve a stable and professional finish.
Are IKEA Kitchens Different From UK-Standard Kitchens?
Yes. IKEA's kitchen units are generally deeper, and worktops are 63.5cm (vs. UK's 60cm). This means appliances and services often require adjustments or filler panels to achieve proper alignment. Our expertise lies in adapting IKEA kitchens to UK standards without compromising the finish.
Do You Remove the Old Kitchen Before Installing a New IKEA Kitchen?
Yes. Our service includes full removal and disposal of the existing kitchen. We also prepare walls, floors, and ceilings to ensure the new IKEA kitchen has a stable and even foundation.
Can IKEA Kitchens Be Adapted to London Homes?
Absolutely. London homes often have quirks such as alcoves, chimney breasts, or uneven walls. We use filler strips, cover panels, and scribing to adapt IKEA's modular units seamlessly, ensuring a fitted look that feels tailor-made for the property.
Can I Install an IKEA Kitchen Myself?
While it's possible for a skilled DIY enthusiast to assemble IKEA flat-pack units, a full installation requires certified trades for plumbing, electrics, and gas. Attempting a DIY installation without professional help can lead to compliance issues, poor alignment, or voided warranties. We recommend professional installation to ensure safety and long-term durability.
Do IKEA Kitchens Come With Warranties?
Yes. Most IKEA kitchens include a 25-year warranty on cabinets and a 5-year warranty on appliances. These warranties are only protected if the kitchen is installed correctly, which is why professional fitting is so important.
Do You Provide Certification for Electrical and Gas Work?
Yes. All gas work is completed by Gas Safe engineers, and all electrical work is certified by NICEIC or NAPIT registered electricians under Part P of the Building Regulations. Certificates are issued at handover, giving clients proof of compliance.
Will My Home Be Left Clean After the IKEA Kitchen Installation?
Yes. At the end of every project, we carry out a full clean-down, removing packaging, dust, and debris. Surfaces are wiped, floors vacuumed, and appliances tested so the kitchen is spotless and ready to use immediately.
