Installation and Project Management
- Dedicated project manager
- Detailed installation drawings
- We can liaise with your builders directly
- Flexible installation service; from just installing your kitchen to removing your old kitchen and undertaking all plumbing and electrical works
Upon deciding to commission LWK to supply your new kitchen, what follows is the commencement of a well-structured and carefully managed process.
Following your commission, you will be allocated a dedicated Project Manager, someone with years of experience working with clients who are buying premium kitchens. During the week your kitchen is being installed, you can be assured that your Personal Project Manager will be dealing with only a small number of other projects at the same time as yours, and for many of our clients this aspect of our service proves to be the one they value most highly.
Ahead of your installation, we undertake a detailed site visit, re-checking dimensions, plumbing and electrical requirements, access routes etc. We can also meet with your builders or architects to ensure that everyone understands exactly who is undertaking what roles, as well as how and when.
Following the site visit, detailed minutes and shop drawings are sent to all concerned parties. The shop drawings show exactly where your new plumbing and electrical points need to be situated, as well as all other information required to ensure a successful and problem-free installation. The week prior your installation beginning, your Project Manager will visit the site again. In the case where your own builders have been preparing the site, the purpose of this visit is to check that all services have been sired correctly. In instances where we are undertaking preparatory works, we will run though the schedule of works with you and discuss any further details necessary to ensure a smooth operation.
During the course of your installation, your Project Manager will visit the site on several occasions and speak with you daily, as our objective is the same as yours: a high quality installation, completed in a timely fashion with diligence, care and attention to detail. We never forget that we are working in your home and aim to minimise disruption as much as possible.
Following practical completion, your Project Manager will again meet with you on site to ensure you are happy with every aspect of your kitchen, and where necessary ensure any final snagging items are promptly resolved.
Different types of installation
At LWK Kitchens we are able to offer a variety of different options for the installation of your new kitchen. We recognise that everyone’s homes and personal circumstances are different and that one size definitely does not fit all! With this in mind, we are very flexible and try our very best to cater for all of your individual requirements, whether you need us just to supply your furniture, or whether you need us to remove the kitchen, re-tile the floor, add ceiling lights etc.

Supply only – This takes place when you already have a builder working in your house and want us to supply (but not fit) the furniture, worktop, appliances and splashbacks, or any combination of the four. With such an arrangement, we will agree on a date that you require the delivery but ensure we visit ahead of this time to check that all is prepared and ready. In any case, we are only a phone call away if any assistance is needed throughout the preparation and installation process.
Kitchen Installation – In this situation, the room will have been fully prepared, ready for us to install the kitchen. We will visit whilst the preparation is in progress to check if your builders require any assistance and once this is complete, the team will start the installation on a pre-agreed date.
Room prep and Installation – LWK Kitchens will remove your existing kitchen and adjust any electrics/plumbing etc to suit the new lay-out. We will then install your kitchen, all as smoothly and quickly as possible so that we can keep any necessary disruption to your home-life to the barest minimum.
When LWK Kitchens are installing your kitchen, you can enjoy the peace-of-mind that the people installing your kitchen are experts in what they do, with years of experience and an attention to detail that we demand from all of our installers. Our trades’ people are covered by our comprehensive insurance, and are expected to go the extra mile to ensure our clients’ satisfaction.
