How Our Kitchen Removal Process Works
1. Consultation & Quote
Begin by telling us about your current kitchen—send photos, mention the type of cabinets or floors, and let us know if there are any tight spaces or special requests. Once we have the details, we’ll provide a free, no-strings-attached quote.
4. Removal & Load-Up
All dismantled parts—cabinets, worktops, sinks, tiles—are then packed securely into our vehicles. We come equipped to handle bulky and heavy items, ensuring minimal disruption in and around your home.
5. Responsible Disposal
We transport the waste to authorized facilities or recycling centers. If any items are still in good condition, we may donate them to local charities or reuse shops. This keeps reusable materials out of landfills and benefits the community.
We handle every element of your kitchen:
- Cabinets & Drawers: From wall-mounted cupboards to base units, we remove them without damaging surrounding walls.
- Countertops: Whether your counters are laminate, granite, stone, or PVC, we have the tools and techniques to remove them safely. Heavier materials, like stone and granite, require additional care and can influence total removal time.
- Appliances: Fridges, cookers, dishwashers, and more are detached and transported following WEEE regulations.
- Flooring & Tiles: If you’re also replacing floors or pulling up tiles, our team can handle that. Different materials (ceramic, porcelain, engineered wood) vary in removal complexity, which we factor into the timeline and cost.
How Long Does Kitchen Removal Usually Take?
On average, a straightforward kitchen removal might take between two to six hours. However, the actual timeframe depends on:
- Size & Complexity: Larger kitchens with multiple cabinets and dense materials (like granite) take longer.
- Additional Work: Removing floor tiles, stripping engineered flooring, or taking down backsplash tiles can add time.
- Property Access: If your kitchen is on an upper floor without an elevator, or if parking is restricted, our team needs more time to navigate these constraints.
Utility Disconnection
Before we arrive to start your kitchen removal service, please make sure the gas, water, and electrical supplies are turned off so our teams can work without interruptions. Although we can usually handle these steps, you are legally responsible for ensuring they have been shut off correctly by a qualified engineer.
- Gas Supply
If you have a gas oven or hob that needs to be disconnected or removed, this must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Even if the gas setup uses bayonet fittings intended for do-it-yourself use, the seals can become brittle or compromised after long periods of inactivity. Hence, before we begin dismantling, please ensure a professional gas engineer has properly disconnected all gas-powered appliances. - Water Supply
Where water pipes have accessible shut-off valves, our team can disconnect the water supply at no extra cost. However, if these valves are hidden or located in areas we cannot access (e.g., outside your property), a plumber’s assistance may be needed. We will check the location and availability of these valves during our initial inspection to confirm the best course of action. - Electrical Supply
Some appliances simply plug into a standard outlet, and they can be easily unplugged. Others may be hardwired directly into your electrical system. In these cases, we offer complimentary disconnection services, so you will not need to bring in an electrician separately. We will manage all necessary disconnects before starting any work on your kitchen.
Tools and Equipment We Use
At London Rubbish Removal, we employ a set of professional tools and equipment to make sure the safe and efficient dismantling and removal of your kitchen. Our skilled teams use everything from power drills and screwdrivers to pry bars and reciprocating saws, paired with essential safety gear like gloves, goggles, and dust masks. We are meticulous in our approach, using each tool as needed to carefully disassemble cabinets, disconnect appliances, and remove fixtures and fittings, ensuring every part of the process is handled with precision. Trust us to manage every detail of your kitchen removal with the utmost professionalism and care.
