Common mistakes

What goes wrong when hiring a kitchen contractor in the Algarve

Choosing materials that fade or warp in the sun

Some worktops, laminates and cabinet finishes struggle with strong light and heat. Ask what has been used in similar Algarve kitchens and how it has aged.

Underestimating cabinetry lead times

Made-to-order kitchens can take weeks to arrive. Agree delivery dates before the old kitchen is removed.

Forgetting extraction

An open-plan kitchen without a proper extraction route spreads grease and humidity through the whole house.

Treating the outdoor kitchen as an afterthought

Outdoor cooking areas need weather-rated supply, drainage and electrics. Include them in the original quote and plan.

Accepting a verbal-only quote

Ask for cabinets, worktops, appliances and labour itemised, with a clear delivery and installation timeline.
