Complete Howdens Installation
London Kitchen Fitting provides a full, end-to-end service for Howdens kitchen installations, covering everything from the removal of your old kitchen to the final handover. Our approach is in line with both manufacturer guidance and UK Building Regulations:
Kitchen Removal
Appliance Fitting
Flooring Installation
Every project begins with the careful removal of your old kitchen, including the responsible disposal of units, appliances, and waste materials. We prepare walls, ceilings, and subfloors properly, making them good so your new Howdens kitchen can be fitted on a clean, stable foundation.
Integrated and freestanding appliances are fitted seamlessly into the design. Gas appliances are installed exclusively by Gas Safe engineers, while electrical connections are handled by Part P-certified electricians. We make sure every appliance is tested and fully operational before handover.
Our flooring service covers porcelain, ceramic, stone, and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), with full subfloor preparation and levelling. For flats and apartments, we specify acoustic underlays to minimise noise transmission and comply with building management requirements.
Worktops and Surfaces
Plumbing and Sinks
Cabinet and Unit Installation
Tiling and Splashbacks
We install all Howdens worktops, from laminates to premium solid surfaces. Our team carries out mitre cuts and joins with precision, applies correct sealing around sinks and hobs, and reinforces support where required for heavy stone or composite surfaces.
Our plumbers connect and test all water supplies, waste pipes, sinks, and taps. In London's hard water areas, we also advise on filtration or limescale solutions to protect fittings and appliances.
Howdens cabinets come pre-assembled, which allows for faster and more accurate installation compared to flat-pack alternatives. Our professional kitchen fitters make sure that each carcass is level, secure, and aligned, adjusting for the uneven walls and floors often found in London properties.
We handle all kitchen plumbing, from relocating supply and waste pipes to connecting new appliances. All work complies with UK Water Regulations and Building Regulations Part G, with thorough testing to ensure safety and reliability.

Our Howdens Specialisation
With over 20 years of kitchen fitting experience, London Kitchen Fitting has developed a strong specialisation in Howdens kitchens. This allows us to deliver a smooth, efficient service that gets the most from Howdens products:
Deep Knowledge of Howdens Ranges
We're familiar with the full Howdens catalogue, from their classic Shaker and traditional collections to modern slab and handleless designs. This means we can guide you on which ranges best suit your property style, lifestyle needs, and budget.
Pre-assembled Cabinet Fitting
Unlike flat-pack kitchens, Howdens cabinets arrive pre-assembled, which speeds up installation and makes sure everything's more accurate. Our Howdens kitchen fitters are skilled at working with this system, adjusting units to fit the quirks of London homes such as uneven walls, unusual alcoves, or restricted access.
Worktop Know-How
We regularly install Howdens worktops in laminate, solid surface, and stone-effect finishes. Our joinery skills make sure mitres and edges are finished seamlessly, while proper sealing around sinks and appliances provides long-lasting protection against water damage.
Appliance Integration
Howdens supply a wide range of branded and own-label appliances. We fit ovens, hobs, dishwashers, extractors, and refrigeration units with precision, making sure there's proper ventilation and electrical or gas certification. Our close knowledge of Howdens' specifications helps us avoid the common fitting errors that can void warranties.
London Home Adaptations
Many Howdens kitchens are designed for standard room layouts, but London homes can present challenges such as narrow staircases, tight spaces, or heritage features. We know how to adapt units and worktops to fit these environments without compromising the finish.
Strong Supplier Relationship
Because Howdens works closely with the trade, we've established solid working relationships with local kitchen fitters and depots across London. This allows us to coordinate deliveries efficiently, resolve supply issues quickly, and keep projects on schedule.

Why Howdens Kitchens?
At London Kitchen Fitting, we often recommend and install Howdens kitchens because they combine quality, flexibility, and value, making them a strong choice for homeowners across London:
Durability
Howdens kitchens are built to last, with sturdy 18mm cabinet construction and pre-assembled carcasses that offer more stability than flat-pack alternatives. This robustness makes them especially suitable
for busy households and rental properties where durability is key.
Wide Style Range
From timeless Shaker and classic framed designs to ultra-modern handleless and gloss slab ranges, Howdens caters to all tastes. Their broad selection of finishes, colours, and accessories allows homeowners
to create kitchens that suit both the property and their personal style.
Excellent Availability
With over 700 depots across the UK, including many in London, Howdens offers excellent product availability. Cabinets and components can be sourced quickly, which
helps reduce lead times and keeps projects on schedule.
Value for Money
While positioned as a mid-range brand, Howdens kitchens often deliver the feel and longevity of more expensive options. Their trade-only sales model also means competitive pricing, giving you good value
without sacrificing quality.
Strong Guarantees
Howdens provide warranties on many of their products, including up to 25 years on cabinetry. This long-term assurance adds confidence for homeowners investing in a new kitchen. When combined with professional kitchen fitters, these guarantees
protect both the product and the property.

Howdens Kitchen Installation Process
At London Kitchen Fitting, we follow a structured installation process designed specifically for Howdens kitchens;
beautifully fitted, compliant, and ready to last for years.
Step 1.
Survey and Preparation
We begin by surveying the space and carefully removing the old kitchen.
Read more
Responsible waste disposal and protection of the home are standard practices. Walls, floors, and ceilings are checked and made good, while subfloors are levelled where necessary. Preparing the room properly ensures the new Howdens kitchen can be installed on a solid foundation.
Step 2.
First-fix Services
Before cabinets are fitted, we complete all "first-fix" plumbing, electrical, and gas works.
Read more
Howdens kitchens often include integrated appliances, which require precise service points. Gas pipework is carried out exclusively by Gas Safe engineers, and electrical connections are handled by NICEIC or NAPIT-registered electricians, making sure we comply with Part P. Ventilation routes are also planned to satisfy Part F requirements, with external ducting installed wherever possible.
Step 3.
Cabinet Installation
One of the advantages of Howdens kitchens is that the cabinets arrive pre-assembled.
Read more
This allows for faster, more accurate fitting compared to flat-pack systems. Our installers align and secure each unit with millimetre precision, adapting for London's uneven walls or quirky layouts. Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are checked to make sure they operate smoothly, and every cabinet is reinforced for durability.
Step 4.
Worktops, Sinks, and Appliances
Once the base units are secured, we fit Howdens worktops, whether laminate, solid surface, or stone-effect.
Read more
Mitres and joins are cut precisely and sealed against water ingress. Sinks and taps are fitted with watertight seals, tested under pressure, and adapted for London's hard water conditions if needed. Appliances, from ovens and hobs to dishwashers and fridges, are integrated seamlessly, with gas and electrical connections fully certified.
Step 5.
Finishing Touches
The final stage includes fitting splashbacks, tiling, plinths, cornices, and lighting.
Read more
Floors, if specified, are installed with full subfloor preparation and acoustic measures for flats. These details not only complete the look but also make sure the kitchen is practical and long-lasting.
Step 6.
Testing and Handover
Before handing the kitchen back, we test every appliance, water connection, and electrical fitting.
Read more
Certificates for gas and electrics are provided, along with Howdens product warranties and aftercare advice. The kitchen is cleaned and presented ready for immediate use, giving you a seamless transition from installation to everyday living.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing a Howdens Kitchen?
Howdens kitchens offer a combination of quality, choice, and convenience. They're built with durable, pre-assembled carcasses, come in a wide range of styles to suit every home, and are supported by strong product guarantees. With depots across London, availability is excellent, reducing lead times. When installed by professionals, a Howdens kitchen offers both immediate impact and long-term value, making it one of the most reliable options for homeowners.
Do I Need Planning Permission to Install a Howdens Kitchen?
In almost all cases, no planning permission is required to install a Howdens kitchen because the work is internal. The exceptions are if your property is listed, if you live in a flat where the freeholder requires consent, or if you're making structural changes such as an extension. At London Kitchen Fitting, we advise clients on whether permissions or consents are needed, drawing on years of experience working across London's varied housing stock.
Are Howdens Kitchens Good Quality?
Yes. Howdens kitchens are highly regarded within the trade for their robust 18mm cabinet construction, pre-assembled carcasses, and extensive warranties, with some lasting up to 25 years. They strike a balance between value and durability, which is why builders and installers across the UK consistently recommend them. With professional fitting, a Howdens kitchen can provide decades of reliable service.
Do You Remove My Old Kitchen Before Installing the New Howdens Kitchen?
Yes. Our service includes careful removal and responsible disposal of the old kitchen. We also prepare the space properly by levelling floors, repairing walls, and upgrading services where necessary. This attention to preparation makes sure the new Howdens kitchen is installed on a solid, lasting foundation.
What Trades Are Involved in Fitting a Howdens Kitchen?
A full installation usually requires several specialist trades. Our team coordinates carpenters for cabinet fitting, plumbers for sinks and waste, electricians for sockets and lighting, Gas Safe engineers for hobs and boilers, and tilers for splashbacks or walls. By bringing all of these trades together under one roof, London Kitchen Fitting makes sure we comply with regulations, schedule seamlessly, and maintain consistently high workmanship.
Do You Provide Certificates for Gas and Electrical Work?
Yes. Compliance is central to our service. All electrical works are carried out by NICEIC or NAPIT registered electricians and certified under Part P of the Building Regulations. Gas connections are handled by Gas Safe-registered engineers, with full certification provided on completion. These documents give you proof that your Howdens kitchen is safe, legal, and fully compliant.
Can You Adapt Howdens Kitchens for London Homes?
Absolutely. Many London homes have quirks such as uneven walls, chimney breasts, or limited access. Our fitters are highly skilled in adapting Howdens units and worktops to these challenges, making sure you get perfect alignment and a seamless finish. This experience allows us to deliver kitchens that feel tailor-made, even when working within restrictive layouts.
Do You Provide Project Management for Howdens Installations?
Yes. Every Howdens kitchen installation we carry out is project-managed from start to finish. We coordinate deliveries with the local Howdens depot, oversee all trades, and maintain open communication with you throughout. This makes sure that projects run on schedule, standards are maintained, and you enjoy a stress-free experience.
Will My Property Be Left Clean After the Installation?
Yes. We believe the handover of a new kitchen should be exciting, not stressful. At the end of each project, our team carries out a full clean-down, removing packaging, waste, and dust. Surfaces are wiped, floors vacuumed, and appliances tested, so you receive a spotless, ready-to-use Howdens kitchen.
Do You Provide Aftercare and Warranties?
Yes. As part of our service, we explain the warranties that come with Howdens products and provide guidance on how to care for worktops, cabinets, and appliances. In addition, our workmanship is backed by our own guarantee, giving you long-term reassurance that both the product and the installation are protected.
