What is a full kitchen renovation in Dubai?
A complete kitchen renovation dubai transforms your space from layout and structural changes through to new cabinetry, worktops, appliances, and finishing. We handle everything: plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and design so you get a kitchen that works as well as it looks. Most apartments and villas benefit from a complete redesign because kitchens take the heaviest daily use. Whether you cook daily, host regularly, or need extra storage, a professional renovation dubai addresses all of these needs in one comprehensive project. Corvana specializes in kitchen renovation dubai for both apartments and villas across the emirate.
How does our kitchen renovation dubai process work?
Every kitchen renovation dubai starts with understanding your space, your cooking style, and your budget. We walk through this step-by-step so there are no surprises. Here's what to expect from initial consultation through final handover.
Design & Consultation
We visit your kitchen, measure the space, photograph existing conditions, and talk through your priorities. Most consultations take 45 minutes. We listen to how you use the kitchen: whether you cook daily, host regularly, or need extra storage. This shapes everything that follows. We show you sample finishes, explain material options, and answer your questions so you feel confident about the renovation dubai plan.
Concept Design & Quote
We produce a 2D layout showing the new configuration, cabinet placement, appliance positions, and workflow. We walk through material options: cabinetry finishes, worktop materials, tile choices, hardware. We provide a detailed quote breaking down labour, materials, and timeline. Most quotes take 2–4 weeks because we source real prices from our suppliers. You'll see exactly what the kitchen renovation dubai will cost before we start any work.
What approvals and orders happen next?
Once you approve the design and quote, we order materials and schedule the build. Lead times vary by material: stock cabinets take 2–3 weeks, custom cabinetry takes 4–6 weeks, specialist worktops take 2–4 weeks. We coordinate with your building management for any common-area approvals needed. Nothing starts until you're ready, and we keep you updated on material arrivals and timelines for your kitchen renovation dubai.
Demolition and Preparation Work
We remove old cabinetry, appliances, and finishes. We then prepare surfaces: repairing walls, levelling floors, running new plumbing and electrical runs if the design requires it. Most apartments need 3–5 days for prep. We protect your home with dust barriers and ensure the rest of your space stays clean and undisturbed during this phase of your kitchen renovation dubai.
Installation & Finishes
New cabinetry installs first, followed by worktops, appliances, splashback, flooring, and lighting. Most builds take 15–25 days depending on scope and material lead times. We clean as we go so the disruption stays contained during your kitchen renovation dubai. You'll see the transformation take shape each day.
Final Handover and Warranty
We walk through the finished kitchen with you, explain all appliance controls, check water and electrics, and correct any snagging items. You get a warranty card for cabinetry, appliances, and workmanship. Your kitchen renovation dubai is complete, fully tested, and ready to use. We stand behind our work with a 2-year labour guarantee.

Kitchen Design and Layout Options
A well-designed kitchen is functional before it's beautiful. We focus on the work triangle (sink, stove, fridge), adequate counter space, and storage that matches your cooking style. Dubai heat and humidity are hard on kitchens. We use water-resistant cabinetry, high-quality hinges and slides, and durable worktops. Laminate and vinyl need less maintenance than natural stone but show wear faster. Quartz and engineered stone are consistent, low-maintenance, and mid-priced. Stainless steel appliances and hardware resist corrosion. Layout options for your kitchen renovation dubai include galley (tight spaces, good workflow), L-shaped (most common in apartments, efficient use of corner space), U-shaped (larger kitchens, lots of counter and storage), island (entertainer's kitchens, additional counter and seating), and open-plan (modern, but requires good ventilation and appliance noise management).
How long does a kitchen renovation dubai take?
Weeks 1 to 2: design and quote approval. Weeks 3 to 6: material ordering and lead time (varies by cabinet and worktop choices). Weeks 7 to 8: demolition and prep, 3–5 days. Weeks 8 to 10: installation and finishes, 15–25 days. Week 10: final handover and snagging. Total: typically 8–12 weeks from consultation to move-in, depending on stock versus custom choices and any structural changes. Your kitchen renovation dubai timeline depends on material choices and the scope of structural work.

Can you convert my open kitchen to a closed one?
Yes, and this is very common in Dubai apartments. Closing an open kitchen improves ventilation management and defines zones in an open-plan home. We handle the structural work, ventilation, lighting, and new cabinetry. Learn more.
Do you handle the appliances, or should I buy them separately?
We can source and install built-in appliances (hob, oven, hood, dishwasher) as part of the renovation, or you can buy separately and we'll integrate them. Buying with us gives you consistency in finish and warranty coordination. Standalone refrigerators are usually purchased separately after the kitchen is ready.
What warranty do you offer?
We provide cabinetry warranty (5–10 years depending on brand), appliance warranties (as per manufacturer), and a 2-year workmanship warranty on labour. Any defects found within 6 months of handover we fix for free.
Can you work in a living kitchen, or do we need to move out?
Yes, we can schedule around your schedule and contain the work to minimize disruption. Demolition and prep can often be scheduled on weekends. Installation runs Monday–Friday during agreed hours. We protect the rest of your home from dust and noise.
What about building management approvals for apartment renovations?
Most apartment renovations need building management approval for any changes affecting common areas (electrical risers, plumbing stacks, ventilation ducts). We handle the application paperwork and liaise with management. Most approvals take 1–2 weeks.
