How long does a kitchen replacement take in Melbourne?
With The Kitchen Replacement Co., most kitchen replacements take as little as 7 days on site, from removing the old kitchen to final handover. Before that, your free quote usually arrives the same day, then your cabinetry is custom-made in our Melbourne factory ahead of your start date, so very little happens in your home until installation.

Before installation
- Enquiry and a free, itemised quote, usually the same day for most kitchens
- Design and selections: layout, finishes, benchtops and appliances
- Your kitchen is custom-made in our Melbourne factory while your current kitchen stays in use
- We confirm a start date and a clear timeline
The installation week
Because the cabinetry is made before we arrive, the time you spend without a kitchen is short. Most replacements are completed in as little as 7 days.
- Removal of the old kitchen
- Plumbing and electrical preparation
- Installation of the new cabinetry
- Benchtops, splashback and appliances
- Final finishing and handover walk-through
What can make it take longer
Layout changes that move plumbing or walls, special-order materials or appliances, and anything unexpected found when the old kitchen comes out can add time. If anything affects your timeline, we tell you up front with your quote.
