Do I need an electrician or plumber when installing an IKEA kitchen?

Yes, you will need an electrician for anything considered a fixed installation. You may also need a plumber to install the sink, mixer tap, and dishwasher.

You will need an electrician and a plumber for certain parts of the installation, but we have designed most of our products to be assembled and installed by customers themselves.
What can I install myself?
  • Refrigerator / fridge-freezer / freezer
  • Wall-mounted extractor hood
  • Under-cabinet lighting
  • Some microwave ovens
  • Sink / mixer tap
  • Dishwasher (It may be helpful to use a plumber for installation, although it is not required. Of course, you can arrange this service through us.)
What do I need an electrician/plumber for?
