Kitchen Fitting in West Sussex
A kitchen is one of the most complex rooms to fit well — and one of the most impactful when it’s done right. JT Builds & Specialised Carpentry fits kitchens across West Sussex, managing the building work, carpentry, and trade coordination that makes a kitchen installation go smoothly. We work with kitchens from any supplier or handle supply and fit end-to-end — whichever approach suits you.

What Our Kitchen Fitting Service Includes
Strip-Out & Preparation
Full removal of the existing kitchen including units, worktops, and appliances. We check the condition of the walls, floor, and services behind before anything new goes in — because this is when problems are cheapest to fix.
Structural Alterations
Many kitchen projects involve knocking through to a dining room, forming a wider doorway, or creating a breakfast bar opening. We manage the structural side — RSJ installation, new lintels, and Building Regulations compliance — as part of the kitchen project rather than as a separate contract.
Unit Installation & Fitting
Precise installation of base units, wall units, tall units, and islands — level, plumb, and properly secured. Good kitchen fitting is about accuracy: a 2mm error early in the run compounds across 10 units. We take the time to get it right at each stage.
Worktop Fitting
Cutting and fitting worktops in laminate, solid wood, quartz, granite, and dekton. Accurate sink cutouts, tight joins at corners, and proper sealant application. Stone and quartz worktops require templating — we coordinate with your worktop supplier’s templating visit.
Appliance Integration
Fitting integrated appliances — dishwashers, ovens, fridges, and washing machines — with correctly positioned housings and door panels. We coordinate with your electrician and plumber to ensure appliances are in the right place at first fix so nothing needs moving at second fix.
Tiling & Splashbacks
Full-height tiling, metro-tile splashbacks, and glass splashback installation. We tile to a consistent joint, use the right adhesive and grout for a kitchen environment, and silicon the perimeter properly.
Flooring
Kitchen flooring in LVT, porcelain, or engineered wood — installed over a properly prepared and levelled subfloor as part of the overall kitchen project.
Trade Coordination
We coordinate your electrician and plumber around our carpentry and building programme, so the project flows in the right sequence and you’re not chasing trades independently. If you don’t have an electrician or plumber, we can recommend trusted local contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply kitchens or just fit them?
Both. Many clients choose their own kitchen from IKEA, Wren, Howdens, a local independent, or a bespoke joinery company — and we fit it. Others prefer us to manage the full supply and fit process. Either works; we’ll quote for both approaches if it helps you compare.
How long does a kitchen installation take?
A straightforward like-for-like kitchen swap typically takes 5–7 working days. A kitchen involving structural work, new flooring, and full tiling might take 2–3 weeks. Projects that require moving drainage or relocating electrics need to be phased around the plumber and electrician’s availability. We’ll give you a realistic programme when we quote.
Do I need an electrician and plumber separately?
For safety and compliance, electrical and plumbing work must be carried out by appropriately qualified trades. We coordinate these around our programme. If you have your own electrician and plumber, we work with them. If not, we can recommend local contacts we’ve worked with successfully.
