What is included in the IKEA kitchen installation service?

The IKEA kitchen installation service includes full cabinet assembly, worktop fitting, appliance and sink installation, plus lighting and finishing touches for a complete setup.

The service includes the following: 
  • Cabinets & structure
    • Installation, fitting, and securing of all IKEA cabinets. 
    • Fitting and securing of all knobs, handles, doors, drawers, rails, filler pieces, plinths, decoration strips, and cornices. 
  • Worktops 
    • Cutting and fitting of IKEA laminate and custom-made worktops (stone, quartz, acrylic, and ceramic worktops are not included in the service as this is installed by a separate specialist partner, which is coordinated as part of your order). 
    • Creating cut-outs for hobs and sinks. 
  • Appliances, sinks & taps 
    • Installation of IKEA supplied appliances (electrical and gas connections are not included). 
    • Installation of IKEA supplied sinks and taps. 
  • Lighting & finishing 
    • Mounting of IKEA cabinet lighting, including cord management (for plug-in models only). 
    • Sealing of all joints and cut-outs. 

Are there also activities that are not part of the standard service package?
Yes, these include but are not limited to the following list of activities.
  • Preparation & demolition work: 
    • Planning your kitchen (these are separate IKEA services). 
    • Removing and disposing of your old kitchen.
    • Any structural work, such as moving walls, windows, or doorways. 
  • Utility connections
    • Electrical work: This includes creating new sockets, hardwiring appliances, or any work on your fuse board. This must be performed by a qualified electrician. 
    • Plumbing work: Any work beyond connecting the sink trap to existing, suitable plumbing. This includes moving pipes or installing new water lines. 
  • Decorative & custom work 
    • Tiling, plastering, painting, or flooring. 
    • Installation of non-IKEA supplied appliances. 
    • Any custom modification of IKEA cabinets or additional custom joinery. 
  • Service limitations 
    • The service is not available for installations that are not a complete kitchen design with both a sink and a cooking area. 
    • The service does not cover the sole installation of only a worktop, sink, or appliance. 
    • The service does not cover the cleaning and removing of packaging/waste.
Did you only buy a countertop, a few kitchen cabinets without a countertop and appliances, or other loose kitchen items? Then we recommend assembling the items yourself or seeking help from a local installer. You can also submit your assembly request via the Needhelp platform.
If supplementary work is required, the installer may be able to provide a separate quote to perform these tasks. This would be a private agreement between you and the installer, and IKEA is not liable for this work.
