Careful removal before replacement or refurbishment
Kitchen dismantling removes domestic and suitable commercial kitchen installations in a planned sequence before replacement, refurbishment or wider strip-out. The scope can include units, doors, worktops, islands, appliances, splashbacks, sinks and taps, with the retained finishes and access routes identified before work begins.
The service can be arranged for disposal or for careful dismantling of selected components for reuse. It does not promise that every kitchen can be removed without damage or reused. Stone, composite and fragile worktops have particular handling limitations, and their condition, fixing method and route from the property affect what is practical.
When kitchen dismantling is the right scope
- A domestic kitchen needs removing before a replacement installation or renovation.
- A suitable commercial kitchen has redundant units, counters or appliances identified for removal.
- Selected components need careful dismantling, labelling or stacking for collection rather than disposal.
- A wider internal strip-out is not required, but the kitchen area needs a defined handover for survey, services or installation.
Services, retained finishes and access
Sinks, taps, appliances and connected equipment require suitable isolation before removal. Gas, electrical and plumbing disconnections are completed by appropriate competent trades; they are not assumed within a standard dismantling scope. The status of services should be clear before work starts.
Floors, walls, access routes and retained finishes are protected where included. The route for units, worktops and appliances is reviewed around stairs, corridors, lifts, door widths and shared areas. Floor and wall finishes can be included only when separately identified.
Disposal, recovery and appliance routes
Units, timber, metal, appliances, worktops and mixed construction waste may need different disposal or collection arrangements. Where components are to be retained, labelling and stacking can be included if there is a safe destination and collection plan.
Kitchen dismantling focuses on the installation itself. A wider Internal Strip-Out can include adjacent partitions, ceilings, floor finishes, wall linings and other rooms. The quotation should make clear whether the work stops at the kitchen units or includes surrounding finishes.

2. Confirm service status
Check that gas, electrical and plumbing connections are suitably isolated by the appropriate competent trades.
3. Protect access and retained finishes
Plan protection, lifting routes and handling around floors, walls, stairs, corridors and shared areas.
4. Dismantle in sequence
Remove doors, units, worktops, appliances and splashbacks in a controlled order suited to their condition and fixings.
5. Separate, stack and hand over
Route waste, label retained components where included and leave the agreed area ready for survey, services or installation.
A kitchen area ready for the following work
The handover may be a cleared kitchen footprint, retained components stacked for collection, or an area ready for service changes and replacement installation. New kitchen fitting, service disconnection, wall repairs, flooring and decoration are outside the standard scope unless expressly included.
Oxshott is used only where the project record supports kitchen-related removal and floor-and-wall strip-out. No project is presented as kitchen-dismantling evidence without a recorded relevant scope.
Questions clients ask
What can be included in kitchen dismantling?
The scope can include agreed units, doors, worktops, islands, appliances, splashbacks, sinks and taps, with surrounding finishes included only when specified.
Can a kitchen be dismantled for reuse?
Selected components can be carefully dismantled, labelled and stacked where practical, but reuse depends on condition, fixings, handling and a safe collection arrangement.
Do you disconnect gas, water and electricity?
Appropriate competent trades are responsible for gas, plumbing and electrical disconnections or isolation. Their status must be confirmed before removal.
Can stone or composite worktops be retained?
They may be retained where practical, but fragile worktops can be difficult to remove without damage because of their condition, joints, fixings and access route.
Are floor and wall finishes included?
They can be included only when separately identified. Kitchen dismantling otherwise focuses on the installation and agreed connected items.
How is this different from an internal strip-out?
Kitchen dismantling focuses on the kitchen installation. Internal strip-out can extend to other rooms, partitions, ceilings, floor finishes and wall linings.
