Kitchen Renovation in Antalya

Made-to-measure cabinets, worktops, plumbing, electrics and flooring planned together, with drawings you approve from wherever you are.

A kitchen renovation usually starts as "we just want new cupboards" and quickly turns into a conversation about where the fridge goes, how many sockets sit above the worktop, whether the extractor has a duct and what to do about the floor. In Antalya a great many flats were handed over with a builder's kitchen: thin melamine carcasses, a laminate worktop with a swollen edge near the sink and a single socket for everything. We treat the room as a working space first and a piece of furniture second, and plan it around how you cook and how often the property is used.

Because every kitchen we fit is made to measure in a local workshop, the design stage is where the remote part of the process happens. You receive a scaled layout, elevations and a visual of the cabinet fronts, worktop and handles, plus the cost of each option. Once you confirm by message, we order materials and start production; while the carcasses are being made, the old kitchen comes out and the plumbing, electrics and floor are prepared. Installation days are documented with photos and video, and the last clip shows every drawer and door opening, the tap running and the appliances powered up.

There are a few Turkish kitchen specifics worth knowing. Many older flats have a separate, closed kitchen; opening it to the living room is popular but depends on which walls are structural and on where the gas line and extractor duct sit. Appliances bought in Europe run on the same mains supply as Turkey, although gas hobs need converting and a licensed installer for the connection. Mediterranean summers are hard on cheap doors and worktops, so we steer owners towards materials that cope with heat, humidity and months of standing empty between visits.

What's Included

Work items that are part of our standard quote.

  • Removal of the existing cabinets, worktop and wall tiles, with debris carried out of the building
  • Relocation or renewal of water supply, waste and dishwasher connections to suit the new layout
  • New electrical circuits for oven, hob, extractor and worktop sockets, with positions agreed on the drawing
  • Made-to-measure base, wall and tall cabinets: carcasses, doors, handles, soft-close hinges and drawer runners
  • Worktop templating, cutting, sink and hob cut-outs and installation
  • Splashback in glass, tile or panel between worktop and wall units
  • Floor and wall tiling, or repair of the existing floor where the layout allows it
  • Under-cabinet and ceiling spotlights, with a suspended ceiling where ducting needs hiding
  • Painting, skirting, connection of appliances you supply, and a final clean
  • Warranty: 3 years (On all our work, including plastering, painting, insulation and plumbing; terms are set out in the quote and contract.)

What's Not Included

Items added on request or handled by a separate specialist.

  • The built-in appliances and white goods themselves (added to the quote if you want us to source them)
  • Moving the gas line or connecting a gas hob (licensed gas installer required; we book and supervise the visit)
  • Removing a wall to open the kitchen to the living room (needs a structural check and is planned within a complete renovation)
  • Cutting a new extractor duct through the facade (requires written consent from the building management)
  • Small appliances, crockery, storage accessories and decoration (outside the scope of the fit-out)

How the Work Proceeds

The order we follow from site visit to handover.

  1. 01

    Survey and how you cook

    We measure the room, mark existing water, waste, gas and electrical points, and ask how the kitchen will be used: daily cooking, holidays only, or rental guests.

  2. 02

    Drawings and material choice

    You receive the layout, elevations and front, worktop and handle options with prices, and confirm the combination by message before production starts.

  3. 03

    Strip-out and services

    The old kitchen comes out, pipes and cables move to the new positions, the walls are made good, and the hidden work is photographed.

  4. 04

    Floor, walls and ceiling

    Tiling or floor repair, painting, any suspended ceiling and the lighting are completed while the cabinets are being built in the workshop.

  5. 05

    Cabinet installation and worktop

    Carcasses are fitted and levelled, the worktop is templated on site and installed, then the splashback goes in.

  6. 06

    Appliances, adjustment and handover

    Sink, tap, appliances and extractor are connected, doors aligned, and you get a video of everything working before the keys are returned.

What Drives the Cost

The main variables that move the quote up or down.

  1. 01

    Linear metres and cabinet types

    The run of base and wall units, tall larder units and an island determine the largest single cost.

  2. 02

    Door material

    Membrane-wrapped, lacquered, acrylic and veneered fronts differ markedly in both price and how they age in heat and humidity.

  3. 03

    Worktop choice

    Laminate, compact laminate, quartz, granite and sintered stone differ in cost, cutting and support requirements.

  4. 04

    Moving services

    Relocating the sink, hob or dishwasher means new pipe and cable routes and chasing in the walls.

  5. 05

    Internal fittings

    Corner mechanisms, pull-out larders, drawer dividers and integrated bins add up quickly.

  6. 06

    Floor and ceiling scope

    Keeping the floor is cheaper than retiling; a suspended ceiling to hide ducting is an extra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions specific to this service.

How do I approve a made-to-measure kitchen without being in Antalya?

After the survey you receive a measured plan, elevations of each wall and a visual showing the chosen door colour, worktop and handles together. We also send photos of the real samples side by side in daylight, since screen colours mislead. Production starts only after you confirm the drawing and the material list by message, and any change after that point is costed before it is made.

Can I bring appliances from my home country?

Electric ovens, dishwashers, fridges and hoods from Europe run on the same mains voltage and frequency as Turkey, so they work with a plug change at most. Gas hobs need a conversion kit for the local gas type and must be connected by a licensed installer, which we arrange. What we need from you before production is the exact model dimensions, because the cabinet apertures are built around them.

Can the kitchen be opened up to the living room?

Often yes, but it depends on whether the wall is a partition or part of the structure, which we establish at the survey and, if there is doubt, with an engineer. Opening the kitchen also moves the extractor further from the duct and brings the gas line into view, so both need planning. In some complexes the management must approve any change to the original plan, and we handle that request for you.

Which worktop copes best with a holiday home that stands empty for months?

Quartz and sintered stone handle heat, humidity and neglect best and need no sealing, which matters when nobody is there to wipe up a leak. Granite is also durable but should be sealed periodically. If budget is the priority, a good compact laminate is far better than the standard builder's laminate, especially around the sink where swelling begins.

Does the extractor need a chimney, and what if the building does not have one?

Most Antalya blocks have a shared ventilation duct in the kitchen wall and we connect to it with a non-return flap so neighbours' cooking smells stay out. Where there is no duct or it is blocked, the options are a recirculating hood with carbon filters or a new opening through the facade, which needs written permission from the management. We tell you which situation you have after the survey rather than assuming.

I only want to replace the doors and the worktop. Is that possible?

Yes, if the carcasses are sound, level and not swollen, which we check by opening every unit and looking at the sink base. New fronts, hinges, handles and a new worktop transform a kitchen at a fraction of a full replacement. If the carcasses are damp-damaged, we say so and show you photos, because new doors on failing boxes are money wasted.

Will the kitchen be finished before I arrive, and how is it handed over?

We fix a completion date with you before production starts and tell you immediately if anything moves it, such as a worktop delivery. Handover is a video in which we open every door and drawer, run the tap and dishwasher, light the hob and start the extractor, followed by photos of the clean kitchen. The keys then go back to your neighbour, agent or site office, or stay with us until you land if you prefer.

What happens to the old cabinets and appliances?

Usable units and working appliances can be left for a neighbour, offered to the building caretaker or collected by a second-hand dealer, and we arrange whichever you choose. Everything else is dismantled, bagged and removed from the building the same day, with a note of any disposal fee charged by the complex. If you want an old fridge kept for the balcony or a sink reused, tell us at the survey.
