Kitchen Furniture Installation in Warsaw — Complete Kitchen Assembly

Bought a kitchen from IKEA, ordered units from Castorama, or had them custom-made by a carpenter — and now it all needs assembling and hanging? Complete kitchen installation is more than just screwing on doors. It involves levelling cabinets, cutting the sink opening, fitting the worktop, and installing plinths and end caps. We work across all of Warsaw: from Ursynow to Targowek, arriving with a full tool kit.

How much does it cost and what affects the price

The cost of a complete kitchen installation is calculated as a percentage of the furniture value — typically 20–25%. The exact amount depends on the number of cabinets, layout complexity (L-shaped, U-shaped, island), whether the worktop needs cutting, and the type of hardware. Fixings are included in the labour cost. The furniture itself, worktop, and appliances are charged separately. See current prices for each service in the table below.

How the on-site work goes

1. You send the kitchen plan or photos of the packages — the technician assesses the scope of work.
2. We agree on a date and time. A standard kitchen installation usually takes a full working day.
3. The technician arrives, checks completeness: are all boxes present, is anything damaged.
4. Marks level lines on the wall — this is the key stage that determines the entire kitchen geometry.
5. Assembles the base cabinets and levels them using adjustable legs.
6. Hangs the wall cabinets on a mounting rail and aligns the fronts.
7. Installs the worktop, cuts the sink opening, fits the plinth, handles, and end caps.

Common customer mistakes (and how to avoid them)

• Not checking completeness before the technician arrives — missing parts are discovered, work stops.
• Ordering a worktop with no margin for trimming — walls in Warsaw apartments are rarely perfectly straight.
• Trying to assemble an IKEA kitchen by themselves following the manual, mixing up left and right hinges — then it all needs redoing.
• Forgetting about cutouts for sockets and pipes in cabinet back panels — the technician has to adapt on site.
• Not accounting for the ventilation duct — the cabinet doesn’t fit, a custom filler is needed.
• Buying a sink without checking the depth of the base cabinet — it won’t fit or interferes with the trap.
• Skipping the mounting rail for wall cabinets — attaching with individual plugs instead; cabinets sag over time.

What to prepare before the technician arrives

• Check all boxes for completeness against the store’s packing list.
• Clear the kitchen entirely — old furniture should be removed beforehand or disassembly ordered separately.
• Make sure walls are ready: plaster dried, tiles laid.
• Run water supply and drainage to the future sink location.
• Install sockets in the right places before assembly — access will be blocked afterwards.
• If built-in appliances are planned — they should be on site or at least exact dimensions known.
• Prepare the kitchen plan with measurements (from the store or your own).
• Ensure lift access or a clear path for carrying items in — worktops can be very long.
• Provide intercom code, parking details for the technician.
• If the worktop needs on-site trimming — let us know in advance so the technician brings a circular saw.

A real case from Warsaw

A client in Mokotow ordered an IKEA METOD kitchen — 12 modules, L-shaped layout, 3.5-metre worktop. All boxes were delivered, but on checking, one door panel had a crack. The technician started assembling the carcasses while the client arranged a replacement at the store. The apartment walls were uneven — up to 8 mm difference. Base cabinets were levelled with adjustable legs, wall cabinets hung on a steel rail with gap compensation. The worktop was trimmed on site to match the wall angle. The sink was cut in and the trap connected. By evening the kitchen was fully assembled apart from one door — the client hung it himself after the replacement arrived. The entire installation took 9 hours. Lesson: check every component before the technician arrives — it saves time and stress.

Frequently asked questions

How long does kitchen assembly take?
A standard 8–12 module kitchen takes one full working day. Larger or more complex kitchens may take up to two days.

Do you only assemble IKEA kitchens?
We assemble any brand: IKEA, Castorama, Leroy Merlin, custom-built. The assembly principle is similar; the hardware differs.

What’s included in the installation price?
Carcass assembly, cabinet hanging, worktop fitting, sink cutout, plinth and handle installation. Fixings included. Appliance and plumbing connections are separate.

Do I need to be home during assembly?
Ideally at the start — to agree on details. After that, you can leave the technician to work.

Do you connect appliances?
Built-in hobs, ovens, and extractor hoods — yes. Gas cooker connection requires certified personnel only.

Can I order just wall cabinet hanging?
Yes, it’s a separate service. See the price table above for current rates.

What if parts are missing from the set?
Best to check everything before the technician arrives. If a shortage is found on site, we’ll assemble what’s possible and finish the rest on a return visit.

Do you remove packaging after assembly?
Waste and packaging removal is an additional charge. Ask when booking.
