How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation Take in Mallorca?
Production is often international, trades must align, and property access can influence scheduling.
Understanding the timeline early helps avoid delays during construction or before moving into the property.
Below is a realistic overview of how long a typical project takes from first planning meeting to completion.
Typical Renovation Timeline
Phase | Duration |
Initial consultation & measurements | 1–2 weeks |
Design & planning | 2-6 weeks |
Technical drawings & approvals | 1–3 weeks |
Production | 8–12 weeks |
Transport to Mallorca | 1–3 weeks |
Installation | 2–4 weeks |
Final adjustments | 1-2 Days |
Typical total time: 12–20 weeks
Projects can be faster or slower, depending on the urgency of the projects and the current state of the property (apartment/house/villa/new build).
Phase 1 — Consultation & Design
The first stage defines layout, materials and appliances.
Accurate measurements and coordination with architects or builders are essential at this stage.
Changes made after production begins are usually the main cause of delays.
Phase 2 — Technical Planning
Once the design is approved, technical drawings are created for electrical, plumbing and builders.
This stage is particularly important in Mallorca, where multiple trades often work simultaneously and access windows can be limited.
Phase 3 — Production
Most kitchens are produced in mainland Europe.
Manufacturing time depends on materials — standard finishes are faster, while custom colours, stone worktops and bespoke elements require longer production.
Phase 4 — Shipping to the Island
Transport logistics influence scheduling more than many homeowners expect.
Delivery must align with site readiness, access conditions and installation teams.
Phase 5 — Installation
Installation typically takes 1–4 weeks depending on complexity:
apartments: normally shorter installations
villas: staged installations over multiple visits
new builds: coordinated with other trades
current stonemason availability to cut stone
Common Causes of Delay
In Mallorca, delays rarely come from manufacturing — they usually come from coordination.
Typical factors include:
unfinished building works
incorrect building works where installation plans were not followed
flooring or plastering delays
electrical changes
restricted delivery access
last-minute design changes
third party availability to complete works (i.e. stonemason etc.)
Planning Advice
The most reliable way to avoid delays is to begin kitchen planning early — ideally during the architectural phase, not after construction has started.
This allows electrical and plumbing connections to be positioned correctly from the beginning and helps prevent costly structural changes later.
Regular site checks during construction — especially before kitche installation — significantly reduce the risk of unexpected issues on the day of assembly.
Planning a Kitchen Renovation in Mallorca
Every property has different logistical conditions, so timelines vary depending on access and construction progress.
