Thinking of a New Kitchen? Read This First.

April 30, 2025

Upgrading your kitchen is one of the best investments you can make in your home.
But here's what no one talks about...


At KitchInstall, we’ve worked on countless kitchen installations in Southampton — and we’ve seen what goes right (and what can go very wrong)


Let’s uncover the essential insights that could save you time, money, and stress.

The Truth About “All-Inclusive” Kitchen Packages

Sounds convenient, right?


But these packages often come with a catch:

  • Limited material choices
  • Basic finishes
  • Hidden costs for upgrades



We believe your kitchen should reflect your taste, not just what fits in a showroom box. At KitchInstall, we tailor every project to suit your needs and budget — with no compromises.


Why Your Floorplan Might Be Working Against You

Most homeowners focus on colours and cabinets.


But the layout is what makes a kitchen truly functional.


The kitchen work triangle — sink, cooker, and fridge — should be seamless. If you’re dancing around a poorly placed island or walking too far between appliances, your dream kitchen becomes a daily frustration.


Our expert kitchen fitters work with you to optimise every inch of space.


Don’t Let Small Details Be an Afterthought

You know what makes a kitchen feel premium?


The details.

  • Soft-close drawers
  • Clever corner units
  • Built-in bins and spice racks
  • LED under-cabinet lighting


These finishing touches are what elevate a kitchen from good… to exceptional.


The Real Cost of Kitchen Fitting in Southampton

Let’s break it down:


A typical kitchen installation in Southampton ranges from £3,000–£10,000 depending on:

  • Size
  • Materials
  • Customisation
  • Plumbing and electrics


What’s important is value. Cheap installs can end up costing more in repairs and replacements. We offer clear quotes, quality craftsmanship, and long-term results.


DIY? Think Twice Before You Grab a Hammer

We love a bit of DIY.


But kitchen fitting is not the place to wing it.


Electrics, plumbing, gas safety — they all need certified expertise. When you hire professional kitchen fitters like us, you get:

  • Regulation-compliant installs
  • Full insurance
  • Peace of mind
  • A flawless finish


Storage Is Everything (and You Probably Don’t Have Enough)

Open shelves look great on Instagram...


But where do you put your air fryer, blender, and 8 sets of mugs?


We help you plan storage intelligently — with deep drawers, pull-out larders, integrated bins, and clever corner solutions to make every inch count.


Why KitchInstall?

We're not just kitchen fitters in Southampton — we're problem solvers, space optimisers, and finish-obsessed perfectionists.


We take your ideas, your lifestyle, and your budget, and turn them into something you're proud to show off.
