Kitchen Fitting in Southside Properties
The Southside of Glasgow has a wonderfully varied housing stock, and understanding the nuances of each property type is key to a successful kitchen renovation.
Interwar semis in Shawlands and Newlands typically have a separate kitchen at the rear with potential for a knock-through to the dining room — one of the most popular projects we undertake. These properties often have suspended timber floors that require careful preparation before tiling, and older plumbing that benefits from updating at the same time as the kitchen.
Tenement flats in Cathcart and Pollokshields present their own challenges — galley kitchens with limited floor space require clever layout planning to maximise storage and usability. Our team is skilled at making smaller kitchens feel spacious and functional through smart unit selection and layout design.
Modern flats and conversions across the Southside generally have straightforward layouts but may have building management rules about noise and working hours. We coordinate with factors and management companies where required.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kitchen Fitters Southside Glasgow
How long does a kitchen installation take?
A standard kitchen installation typically takes 5–10 working days. Smaller kitchens with a straightforward layout can be completed in less time; larger kitchens or those involving structural work (wall removal, new drainage runs, significant electrical upgrades) may take 10–15 days. Projects involving open plan conversions with RSJ beams may require additional structural engineer involvement. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your survey and stick to it.
Can you knock through a wall to create an open plan kitchen?
Yes — this is one of our most popular services on the Southside. We assess whether the wall is load-bearing, arrange a structural engineer’s report where needed, and install the appropriate RSJ steel beam to safely carry the load. Where a building warrant is required (typically for load-bearing walls), we can advise on the application process. See our open plan kitchen Glasgow page for more detail.
Do you supply kitchens or just fit them?
We can do both. We have supplier relationships with several kitchen manufacturers and can provide a full supply-and-fit service. Alternatively, if you’ve already purchased units from IKEA, Howdens, Wren, or another supplier, we’re happy to take care of the fitting. We’re experienced with all major kitchen suppliers and know how to handle the inevitable adjustments that come with fitting any kitchen into a real-world space.
Will you remove and dispose of my old kitchen?
Yes, full strip-out and responsible disposal is included in our quotes. We remove all old units, worktops, appliances, and flooring materials and dispose of them properly. We don’t leave skips on the street causing problems with neighbours or the council — we take waste away in our own vehicles and dispose of it at licensed facilities.
Can I use my own appliances?
Absolutely. If you have new appliances you’ve purchased independently, we’ll integrate and connect them as part of the installation. If you want us to supply appliances, we can source competitive prices through our trade accounts with major suppliers. We’ll advise on which appliances are compatible with your chosen units and worktops, and ensure all connections are made safely by qualified tradespeople.
What worktops do you recommend?
It depends on your budget and how you use your kitchen. Quartz is our most popular choice — it’s tough, heat-resistant (with a trivet), easy to clean, and comes in a vast range of colours. Granite is harder-wearing and completely heat-proof. Solid wood is beautiful but requires more maintenance. Laminate has improved enormously in quality and is a great budget option. Dekton and Silestone offer high-end performance at a premium price. We’ll walk you through the options during your design consultation.
