Kitchen renovation in Dubai: layout, services and cabinetry under one contract
Kitchen renovation in Dubai from Widget Tech covers the whole room under one contract: the layout, the plumbing and electrical moved to suit it, the ventilation, the cabinetry and worktops, the tiling and the finish, with one contact from site visit to handover. The kitchen is the most expensive room in a villa to renovate and the one where a wrong sequence costs the most.
What does a kitchen renovation include?
Strip-out, then the services (water, drainage, power for appliances, extraction, AC), then walls and floors, then cabinetry, worktops, splashback and appliances. Doing it in that order is the difference between a kitchen that looks new and one that works new.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Design and layout | Agree the plan, appliance positions and worktop material before the quote is fixed |
| Strip-out | Remove old cabinetry, tiles and fittings; check what is behind them |
| Services | Move or add water, drainage, power and extraction to the new layout |
| Walls and floors | Plaster, waterproofing where needed, tiling |
| Cabinetry and worktops | Install joinery, stone or engineered worktops, splashback |
| Appliances and finish | Connect appliances, lighting, paint, snag list to zero |
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Dubai?
Cabinetry and worktops are usually the largest line, then appliances, then the services if the layout moves. We quote after a site visit, itemised, with the joinery specification and worktop material named, and we fit what we quoted. Our kitchen and bathroom cost guide explains what moves the number.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Weeks, not days, and the joinery lead time usually sets the pace. You get a dated programme with the quote, including the days the kitchen is out of use.
Can you change the kitchen layout?
Yes. Moving the sink or the cooker means moving drainage, water and power, which is MEP work covered under the same contract, so the layout, services and finishes are planned together.
Do you renovate kitchens in apartments as well as villas?
Yes, across Dubai. In apartment buildings we handle the building management’s permission and work to the building’s hours.
