Kitchen relocation made easy
Planning and carrying out a kitchen relocation: tips for a smooth process
A move is already a challenge, and relocating a kitchen can take that challenge to the next level. The kitchen is the heart of every home, a complex combination of furniture, appliances and connections. Many customers who want to take their kitchen with them ask themselves: how can I make sure everything arrives undamaged and fits properly in the new home? This is where specialized moving companies like DACHSER & KOLB come in. We take care of the entire process and ensure that your kitchen works just as smoothly at the new location as it did before.
Why a professional kitchen move is important
When moving a kitchen, many questions arise: Is it worth taking the old kitchen with you? Will the kitchen fit into the new home? What happens to the appliances and connections? This is exactly where our service comes in: we not only advise you on kitchen planning after the move, but also support you from dismantling through to precise reassembly.
Some reasons why professional support makes sense:
Experience and expertise:
Our fitters are familiar with kitchens of all types and know how to safely transport and reinstall worktops, cabinets and appliances.
Safe dismantling and assembly:
Dismantling a kitchen requires care and precision to ensure that all components remain undamaged. Reassembly is just as important, as every cabinet, every drawer and every connection must fit perfectly again.
Transporting the kitchenette:
Safe transport is often a challenge, especially for kitchen units that are fitted to the millimetre. DACHSER & KOLB provides the necessary equipment and experience to transport your kitchenette safely.
The process of a kitchen move
A well-planned process minimizes stress and maximizes satisfaction. DACHSER & KOLB follows these steps when moving a kitchen:
Assessment and consultation:
First, the kitchen is carefully inspected and measured. We provide comprehensive advice on whether moving your kitchen makes sense and what costs may be involved.
Planning and dismantling:
In this phase, we plan the dismantling and secure packing. Special attention is paid to fragile parts such as glass and high-quality appliances.
Transport and storage:
We offer solutions for transporting the kitchenette and all other elements, and can also store your kitchen temporarily if required.
Assembly and adaptation:
Assembly takes place at the new location. We adapt everything to the new conditions and also make minor adjustments where necessary. Thanks to our experience in kitchen remodelling, we can offer tailor-made solutions if, for example, worktops or cabinets need to be readjusted.
Kitchen remodelling and kitchen renovation after the move
In many cases, the old kitchen does not fit perfectly into the new space. Kitchen remodelling or renovation can help adapt the kitchen optimally to the new room layout. DACHSER & KOLB also provides support from its own carpenters and tradespeople, who know exactly how existing kitchen modules can be adjusted.
Kitchen planning after the move
Consider the room layout:
The new kitchen often has a different shape and layout of connections. The planning should be adjusted accordingly to ensure short distances and sufficient worktop space.
Optimize the lighting:
Lighting conditions play a major role in a functional kitchen. DACHSER & KOLB helps integrate pleasant and efficient lighting.
Storage space and ergonomics:
Storage space must be used efficiently. Wall and base cabinets in particular should be installed so that everything is easy to reach.
Tips for a stress-free kitchen move
A few practical tips can make your kitchen move even easier:
- Plan early: The decision on whether to move or sell the kitchen should be made at an early stage. Planning in good time saves costs and reduces stress.
- Coordinate with tradespeople: The kitchen installation should be scheduled precisely. Sinks, cookers and refrigerators must be connected correctly.
- Protect your furniture: DACHSER & KOLB carefully packs all parts to ensure that nothing is damaged, even during long-distance transport.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Kitchen Moving
Can you take a fitted kitchen with you when moving?
Yes, in many cases a fitted kitchen can be moved with you, provided it has a modular structure and the dimensions fit the new home. However, it is advisable to have the adaptation carried out by professionals to avoid damage.
Who handles the dismantling and reassembly of the kitchen during a move?
Specialized moving companies such as DACHSER & KOLB offer kitchen moves including dismantling, transport, adaptation and reassembly by experienced kitchen fitters — with electrical and water connections available on request.
How much does a kitchen move cost?
The costs depend on the scope of work, the condition of the kitchen, the distance and the amount of adaptation required. As a rough guide, you can expect costs of between €500 and €1,500. A personalized quote will provide clarity on the actual costs.
Does the kitchen need to be adjusted before the move?
Often, yes. As kitchens are usually custom-planned, worktops, cabinets or appliance positions often need to be adjusted in the new home. A measurement appointment in advance helps plan any necessary modifications at an early stage.
What happens if parts of the kitchen are damaged during the move?
With a professional move, the kitchen inventory is generally insured. It is advisable to check the exact insurance coverage in advance and to clearly mark or secure particularly sensitive parts.
Is moving your kitchen worth it, or does a new kitchen make more sense?
This depends on the condition and value of the existing kitchen as well as the layout of the new home. For high-quality or custom-made kitchens, moving them is usually worthwhile. For older kitchens or kitchens that do not fit the new space, buying a new one may make more sense.
