About the project

Kitchen renovation is different from bathroom — less waterproofing, more carpentry, electrics and precise measurement. Trouble starts when one carpenter claims to do everything alone, then has "his plumber" come for the sink and stove hookup whenever they can. The kitchen sits unfinished for two weeks because you're waiting on one person.

The sequence runs: demolition of old units and debris removal, then water, electric and drain rerouting if layout changes. Next comes new flooring or backsplash tiling, followed by cabinet installation. Finally, appliances get connected — sink, dishwasher, stove, ventilation — and final silicone and grout work happens.

Price varies dramatically. A flat-pack kitchen from a showroom can be installed in two to three days if utilities are ready. A custom kitchen from a carpenter takes three to six weeks because units are made after measurement. Worktop material (laminate, quartz, granite) can double the total cost.

Through Poslici you pick the carpenter, plumber and electrician separately, with independent reviews. That way you know each person entering your home does their trade every day, not as a side gig.

Browse carpenters and installers in your city and compare reviews before committing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep existing units and only swap the worktop and tiles?
Yes, and it's the cheapest option if the units are in good shape. The carpenter removes the old worktop and measures a new one, while a tiler does the wall in parallel. The whole job takes two to four days. Just make sure the new worktop has the same sink and stove cutouts.
How long does a flat-pack kitchen install take?
Cabinet installation alone usually takes one to two days for an average kitchen. Add another day for water, electric and appliance hookup. If the showroom offers installation in the price, check whether appliance connection is included — often it isn't, and you'll need a separate plumber.
Does the tradesman bring the tile saw and grout tools?
A serious tiler always shows up with their own gear — wet saw, mixer for adhesive, levellers and grout tools. If someone asks you to provide a saw, that's a sign they're not professional. You provide power, water for cleaning tools, and space to set up.
What about removing old units and debris?
Agree this upfront because it's often forgotten. Some carpenters include disposal in the price, others charge an extra 25-75 € depending on volume. Old units can often be sold or given away on classifieds before demolition. Tile rubble must go to a proper landfill, not regular trash.
Can I pick appliances myself or must I go through the carpenter?
Absolutely pick them yourself — usually cheaper. Bring exact dimensions and specs of your built-in appliances to the carpenter before they start building units — cutouts are made to each model's measurements. Universal dimensions exist, but small differences can cause install problems.
