From Plan to Handover

The Kitchen Installation Process

A clear route through plan review, survey, preparation, delivery, fitting, specialist worktops, final connections and handover.

A Clear Written Scope

Know What Happens Before Work Starts

Kitchen projects involve more than fitting cabinets. The plan, room, delivery, services, worktops and finishing trades must be sequenced so one decision does not create rework elsewhere.

TLS Kitchens establishes the proposed scope before a fitting date is agreed. Product supply, installation, specialist work and any costs paid directly to another trade are identified in writing for the individual project.

The process below is a practical framework. Exact stages depend on the kitchen, room condition, supplier and chosen worktops.
