Are you planning a removal and your kitchen is the centerpiece, the heart of your home, but also the source of most cost concerns? You're not alone. Many ask: “What is the true kitchen removal cost? And what exactly does a professional disassembly and reassembly service include?”
Getting a clear quote for a kitchen removal, including disassembly, transport, and reassembly, often seems like a daunting task.

Key Factors Determining Your Kitchen Removal Cost
The kitchen removal cost is not a fixed figure, but the result of several specific factors. Understanding these elements will help you better evaluate your quote and understand the importance of a professional service:
- Kitchen Type and Size: A small linear kitchen will have a different cost than a corner or custom-made kitchen, perhaps with a central island or peninsula. The number of modules, wall units, base units, and tall units directly affects the disassembly and reassembly time.
- Complexity of Appliances and Connections: The presence of built-in appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, hob) requires more delicate disassembly and reassembly and the intervention of specialized technicians for water and gas connections. This is a crucial service that many companies do not include.
- Materials and Finishes: Kitchens made of valuable materials or with delicate finishes (e.g., high-gloss lacquer, glass, marble) require special packaging and greater care during transport to avoid damage.
- Distance and Accessibility: The distance between the old and new home is an obvious factor. Less obvious is accessibility: upper floors without a lift, limited traffic zones (ZTL), narrow streets, or the need for special permits can influence the cost.
- Additional Services Required:
- Specialized Packaging: For fragile or valuable components.
- Structural Modifications: If the kitchen needs adaptations (e.g., countertop cutting, module modifications) for the new layout. This requires a specialized carpenter.
- Temporary Storage: If there is an interval between disassembly and reassembly.
- All-Risk Insurance: Essential to protect your investment.
A technical survey is essential to evaluate all these aspects and provide you with an accurate quote.
Avoid Surprises: How to Recognize an Incomplete Kitchen Removal Quote
The "lowest price" can hide pitfalls. An excessively cheap quote for kitchen removal cost should set off an alarm bell. Often, these offers do not include essential items that are then added as surprise "extras," driving up the final cost far beyond your expectations.
Beware of:
- Lack of Detail: A quote that only states a total figure without specifying disassembly, packing, transport, reassembly, and connections is an alarm bell.
- Exclusion of Connections: Many removal companies do not have qualified personnel for gas and water connections, leaving you with a kitchen that is assembled but unusable.
- Inadequate Insurance: Always check the type of insurance coverage. A basic insurance might not cover damage to appliances or specific kitchen components.
- No On-site Survey: A quote given over the phone, without having seen the kitchen and the destination locations, is almost certainly inaccurate.
At Traslochi.com, we believe in clarity. Every one of our quotes is the result of an in-depth analysis, often with an on-site survey, to ensure that every item is included and understood.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen Removal Cost
- Does the quote also include gas and water connections?
- Yes, our comprehensive service includes disassembly, transport, reassembly, and, upon request, also plumbing and electrical connections performed by qualified technicians, ensuring the full functionality of your kitchen in the new home. This item is always specified in the quote.
- What happens if the kitchen doesn't fit perfectly in the new home?
- During the on-site survey, we carefully evaluate the measurements and characteristics of the new destination. If necessary, our specialized carpenters can make minor structural modifications to the modules or the kitchen countertop to perfectly adapt it to the new space, always with the utmost precision and care. This service is quoted separately and communicated in advance.
- Is insurance for the kitchen included?
- Every one of our removals is covered by basic insurance. However, for valuable items like a kitchen, we always recommend an "all-risk" insurance that offers maximum coverage against all types of damage or loss. The details and costs of this additional coverage are always clearly indicated in the quote.
- Can I disassemble part of the kitchen myself to save money?
- While you might think you can save money, we strongly advise against DIY kitchen disassembly, especially for complex modules or built-in appliances. An error can cause irreparable damage or make reassembly impossible. Our staff is specialized in professional disassembly, ensuring integrity and safety. The potential savings do not justify the risk.
