DIY kitchen renovations can be highly rewarding, but the size of the challenge shouldn’t be underestimated. Having control over your own project can help you manage the design, budget and schedule while having the satisfaction of achieving great results.
From assembling flat-pack cabinets to installing new handles, there are lots of tasks within your skillset. However, when it comes to installing kitchen worktops, it’s best to get expert support. This is one of the most important features of your new kitchen, so you want to get it right.
Can you fit a new kitchen yourself?
With research, patience and high-quality tools, many property owners successfully fit new kitchens in their homes. You can get your hands on lots of DIY-friendly units and appliances you can install yourself with a little know-how, as long as you pay attention to detail and put the effort in. You can even find a mass of online tutorials to guide you through the process.
However, not all kitchen parts are of the same simplicity when it comes to their preparation and installation, with some demanding a higher level of precision and specialist tools. This is why most people choose a professional kitchen worktop installation alongside their DIY renovation.
Why are kitchen worktops hard to install?
While kitchen cabinets can be adjusted and levelled, kitchen worktop installation needs an exact fit. Whether it’s compact laminate, a solid surface or acrylic worktops, dimensions need to be highly precise, including notches, mitre joints, sink cut-outs and recesses for hobs.
Worktop installations are challenging because one wrong cut can ruin an entire section of the material. These surfaces can also be extremely heavy and difficult to manoeuvre. Specialist tools are required for tasks like fitting the joints and finishing edges, and proper sealing is necessary to avoid water damage and mould issues.
Poorly installed kitchen worktops not only cause cosmetic issues but compromise a kitchen’s overall functionality and lifespan.
