Removing the old kitchen
Plan for removing additional trash and debris. Try not remove the old kitchen until the new one arrives and it is assembled and ready to install.
Cabinet assembly
Make sure that you have everything that you need before you start to assemble the cabinets. Have plenty of room for opening products. You will need a drill and a spirit level to assemble each cabinet.
Kitchen appliances
Consider the manufacturers specifications and installation guidelines, and make sure a licensed electrician or plumber carries out all electrical and plumbing work.
