Kitchen relocation made easy
Planning and executing a kitchen relocation: Tips for a smooth process
Moving house is challenging enough, and moving a kitchen can be even more so. The kitchen is the heart of every home, a complex interplay of furniture, appliances, and connections. The concern of many customers who want to take their kitchen with them is: How can I ensure that everything arrives undamaged and fits into my new home? This is where specialized moving companies such as DACHSER & KOLB come into play. We take care of the entire process and ensure that your kitchen functions just as smoothly in its new location as it did before.
Why professional kitchen relocation is important
When moving kitchens, there are many questions to consider: Is it worth taking the old kitchen with you? Will the kitchen fit in the new apartment? What will happen 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 accompany you from dismantling to precise installation.
Some reasons why professional help is useful:
Experience and expertise:
Our fitters are familiar with all types of kitchens and know how to safely transport and reinstall countertops, cabinets, and appliances.
Safe disassembly and assembly:
Dismantling the kitchen requires care and precision to ensure that parts remain undamaged. Rebuilding is just as important, as every cabinet, drawer, and connection must fit back together perfectly.
Transport of the kitchen unit:
Safe transport is often a challenge, especially for kitchen units that are customized to the millimeter. DACHSER & KOLB offers the necessary equipment and experience to transport your kitchen unit safely.
The process of moving a kitchen
A well-planned process minimizes stress and maximizes satisfaction. DACHSER & KOLB follows these steps when moving kitchens:
Assessment and consultation:
First, we'll carefully check out and measure your kitchen. We'll give you all the info you need on whether moving your kitchen is a good idea and what it might cost.
Planning and dismantling:
In this phase, we plan the dismantling and secure packaging. Special attention is paid to fragile items such as glass and high-quality equipment.
Transport and storage:
We offer solutions for transporting the kitchen unit and all other elements and can also store your kitchen temporarily if required.
Assembly and adjustment:
Assembly takes place at the new location. Here, we adapt everything to the new conditions and also make minor adjustments if necessary. Thanks to our experience in kitchen remodeling, we can offer tailor-made solutions if, for example, countertops or cabinets need to be readjusted.
Kitchen remodeling and renovation after moving
In many cases, the old kitchen does not fit 1:1 into the new space. A kitchen conversion or renovation can help to optimally adapt the kitchen to the new spatial conditions. DACHSER & KOLB also offers support from its own carpenters and craftsmen, who know exactly how existing kitchen modules can be adapted.
Kitchen planning after the move
Note 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 work surface.
Optimize lighting:
Lighting conditions play a major role in a functional kitchen. DACHSER & KOLB helps to integrate pleasant and efficient lighting.
Storage space and ergonomics:
Storage space must be used efficiently. Upper and lower cabinets in particular should be installed in such a way that everything is easily accessible.
Tips for a stress-free kitchen move
A few practical tips can make moving your kitchen even easier:
- Plan ahead: The decision on whether to move or sell the kitchen should be made early on. Planning ahead saves money and stress.
- Arrangements with tradespeople: The connection of the kitchen should be scheduled precisely. The sink, stove, and refrigerator must be connected correctly.
- Protect your furniture: DACHSER & KOLB carefully packs all parts to ensure that nothing is damaged, even during long transports.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about kitchen relocation
Can you take a fitted kitchen with you when you move?
Yes, in many cases, a fitted kitchen can be moved—provided that it has a modular design and the dimensions fit into the new home. However, it is advisable to have the conversion carried out by professionals to avoid damage.
Who will dismantle and reassemble the kitchen during the move?
Specialized moving companies such as DACHSER & KOLB offer kitchen removals including dismantling, transport, adjustment, and reassembly by experienced kitchen fitters—with electrical and water connections also available on request.
How much does it cost to move a kitchen?
The costs depend on the scope, the condition of the kitchen, the distance, and the effort required for adjustments. As a rough guide, you can expect to pay between €500 and €1,500. An individual quote will provide information about the actual costs.
Does the kitchen need to be modified before the move?
Often, yes. Since kitchens are usually custom-designed, countertops, cabinets, and appliance positions need to be adjusted in the new home. Scheduling a survey appointment in advance helps to plan any necessary modifications early on.
What happens if parts of the kitchen are damaged during the move?
When moving with a professional moving company, kitchen inventory is usually insured. It is advisable to check the exact insurance coverage in advance and to label or secure fragile items.
Is it worth moving the kitchen, or would it make more sense to buy a new one?
That depends on the condition and value of the existing kitchen and the floor plan of the new apartment. With high-quality or custom-made kitchens, it is usually worth moving them. With older or unsuitable kitchens, it may make more sense to buy a new one.
