Kitchen Remodeling Dubai — Bespoke Homes & Commercial Kitchens

Your kitchen is the hardest-working room you own. In a Dubai home it hosts late dinners and weekend gatherings; in a restaurant, café or staff pantry it runs at full tilt every single day. At Fitout | Renovation Dubai, we deliver kitchen remodeling Dubai projects that look stunning, function flawlessly and stand up to the demands of the UAE climate and lifestyle. From a single-galley apartment refresh in JVC to a full commercial kitchen rebuild in Business Bay, we handle every trade in-house — so your remodel is faster, tidier and accountable to one team.

Established in 1984, we are a full-service interior fit-out, renovation, remodeling and revamp company serving residential and commercial clients across all seven emirates. With 25+ specialist in-house trades under one roof, we take your kitchen from concept and 3D design through demolition, civil works, joinery, MEP and the final polish — without juggling a dozen subcontractors. That single-source model is exactly why so many Dubai homeowners, landlords, developers and business owners trust us with the most important room in the building.

Why Choose Fitout | Renovation Dubai for Your Kitchen Remodel

Kitchen remodeling is one of the most technically demanding renovations there is. It combines plumbing, electrical, ventilation, gas, waterproofing, joinery and finishing into a tight space where millimetres matter. Hire the wrong team and you get mismatched cabinets, leaking sinks, tripping circuits and a project that drags on for months. Here is what sets us apart:

  • Four decades of experience — operating in the UAE interior fit-out industry since 1984, with thousands of completed residential and commercial kitchens.
  • All trades in-house — 25+ specialist teams means no finger-pointing, no scheduling gaps and one point of accountability from start to handover.
  • UAE-wide coverage — we remodel kitchens across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
  • Climate-smart material selection — finishes, sealants and hardware chosen to withstand Dubai’s heat, humidity and hard water.
  • Authority approvals handled — we manage Dubai Municipality, DDA, Trakhees, free-zone and developer NOC approvals so you don’t have to.
  • Transparent, fixed-scope quotations — detailed, itemised pricing with no hidden surprises mid-project.
  • Residential and commercial expertise — equally at home with a luxury villa kitchen and a high-throughput F&B production kitchen.

Our Complete Kitchen Remodeling Scope of Work

A great kitchen remodel is the sum of many specialist disciplines working in the correct sequence. Below is the full scope we deliver in-house. Whether your project needs the entire list or just a handful of trades, every one is managed by our own teams to a single quality standard.

1. Demolition & Disposal

Every successful remodel begins with a clean, safe strip-out. Our demolition crews carefully remove old cabinetry, worktops, tiling, partitions and redundant services while protecting the surfaces and rooms that are staying. We work to a controlled sequence so structural elements, live services and shared building infrastructure are never compromised.

Just as important is responsible disposal. We sort, haul and dispose of debris through approved channels in line with Dubai Municipality waste regulations, leaving your site swept and ready for the next trade — not buried under rubble.

What’s included:

  • Protective sheeting, dust screens and floor protection for retained areas
  • Safe removal of base and wall units, worktops, splashbacks and appliances
  • Careful tile, screed and old waterproofing removal where required
  • Make-safe of electrical, water and gas points before strip-out
  • Sorted skip loading, debris haulage and regulated landfill/recycling disposal

Dubai insight  In occupied buildings and towers, we coordinate strip-out timings and lift bookings with building management to keep your neighbours — and the facilities team — onside.

2. Civil Works

Many kitchen transformations require more than cosmetic change. Moving a sink, opening up to a dining area, or reconfiguring a commercial kitchen for better flow all need structural and civil work. Our civil teams handle block work, plastering, screeding, opening and closing of walls, and the creation of new openings — always with the correct structural sign-off.

This is the unglamorous backbone of a remodel: get the levels, falls and substrates right here, and every finish that follows sits perfectly. Get it wrong, and no amount of expensive cabinetry will hide it.

What’s included:

  • Block work, brickwork and masonry alterations
  • Wall removal, new openings and lintel installation (with structural approval)
  • Plastering, rendering and substrate preparation
  • Floor screeding, levelling and slope/fall correction for drainage
  • Forming plinths, bulkheads and service ducts

Dubai insight  Reconfiguring a load-bearing wall? We arrange the structural assessment and the necessary authority approval before a single block is touched.

3. Joinery

Joinery is the heart of any kitchen, and it’s where our four-decade heritage shows. From our own workshop we manufacture bespoke kitchen cabinetry, islands, pantry units, breakfast bars and tall storage tailored exactly to your space — no off-the-shelf compromises. Choose from a full range of finishes including matte and gloss lacquer, natural veneer, laminate, acrylic and thermofoil.

Because we build to your millimetre dimensions, you get cabinetry that maximises every centimetre of a compact Dubai apartment or delivers the dramatic statement island a villa kitchen deserves. Soft-close hardware, integrated organisers and concealed handles come as standard considerations, not costly afterthoughts.

What’s included:

  • Bespoke base, wall and tall units built to exact dimensions
  • Kitchen islands, peninsulas and breakfast bars
  • Pantry, larder and appliance-tower joinery
  • Premium hinges, runners, soft-close mechanisms and pull-out organisers
  • Wide finish range: lacquer, veneer, laminate, acrylic, thermofoil

Dubai insight  Dubai’s humidity is tough on cheap board. We specify moisture-resistant carcasses and sealed edges so doors don’t swell and delaminate over time.

4. Ceiling Works

The ceiling does more than cover the slab — it shapes light, conceals services and defines zones in open-plan layouts. Our ceiling specialists install gypsum and plasterboard ceilings, drops, coves and recessed detailing that hide ducting, wiring and pipework while creating the perfect plane for your lighting design.

In commercial kitchens we use the right hygienic, fire-rated and washable ceiling systems to meet food-safety and code requirements without sacrificing a clean, professional finish.

What’s included:

  • Gypsum board and suspended ceiling systems
  • Cove, tray and stepped ceiling detailing
  • Recessed and feature lighting integration
  • Bulkheads to conceal extraction ducting and services
  • Moisture-resistant and hygienic ceiling boards for wet/commercial zones

Dubai insight  We coordinate ceiling levels early with the lighting and HVAC plan so downlights, extractors and AC grilles land exactly where they should.

5. Flooring

Kitchen floors take a beating — spills, dropped pans, heavy foot traffic and constant cleaning. We supply and install flooring built for the job: large-format porcelain tiles, natural stone, engineered surfaces, anti-slip vinyl and epoxy systems, each laid over properly prepared, level substrates with correct falls toward drainage where needed.

For homes we balance beauty and durability; for commercial kitchens we prioritise slip resistance, hygiene and seamless, easy-clean surfaces that satisfy inspection requirements.

What’s included:

  • Porcelain and ceramic large-format tiling
  • Natural and engineered stone flooring
  • Anti-slip safety vinyl and sheet flooring
  • Seamless epoxy and resin floors for commercial kitchens
  • Substrate preparation, waterproofing and skirting/coving

Dubai insight  For F&B kitchens we recommend coved skirting and seamless floors — no grout lines or corners for grease and bacteria to hide in, which keeps inspectors happy.

6. Electrical Works

Modern kitchens are appliance-dense, and the electrical layout has to keep pace safely. Our certified electricians design and install dedicated circuits, sized cabling, sufficient sockets, under-cabinet lighting, hob and oven connections, extraction wiring and smart-control points — all to UAE wiring regulations and DEWA standards.

We plan power around how you actually cook and work, so you’re never short of an outlet or running an appliance off an overloaded circuit.

What’s included:

  • Dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs, dishwashers and large appliances
  • Socket, switch and USB/charging point positioning
  • Under-cabinet, plinth and feature lighting wiring
  • Distribution board upgrades and RCD protection
  • Smart-home and lighting-control integration

Dubai insight  We size circuits to DEWA-compliant standards and add spare capacity — kitchens only ever gain appliances over time, never lose them.

7. Painting

A flawless paint finish ties the whole kitchen together. Our painters prepare surfaces meticulously — filling, sanding and priming — before applying premium, washable, low-VOC paints suited to humid, high-use environments. Walls, ceilings and feature surfaces come up clean, even and durable.

We use moisture- and mould-resistant systems in splash-prone areas so your finish stays fresh long after handover.

What’s included:

  • Full surface preparation: filling, sanding, priming
  • Premium washable, low-VOC interior paints
  • Anti-mould and moisture-resistant systems for wet zones
  • Feature walls and accent colours
  • Clean, sharp cut-in lines around cabinetry and trims

Dubai insight  In Dubai’s humidity, anti-mould paint around the sink and hob isn’t a luxury — it’s what stops black spots forming within a year.

8. Door Works

Doors frame the kitchen experience — from entry doors and pocket doors to pantry and utility access. We supply, fit and finish internal doors, sliding and concealed systems, and the ironmongery that makes them glide. Every door is hung true, sealed and finished to match your scheme.

For commercial kitchens we install the right service, fire-rated and self-closing doors to meet operational and code requirements.

What’s included:

  • Hinged, sliding, pocket and concealed door systems
  • Pantry, utility and service doors
  • Fire-rated and self-closing doors for commercial settings
  • Premium handles, locks and closers
  • Precision hanging, alignment and sealing

Dubai insight  Pocket and sliding doors are a smart move in tight Dubai apartments — they reclaim the floor space a swing door wastes.

9. Furniture Painting & Refinishing

Not every remodel needs everything replaced. Our furniture painting and spray-finishing service breathes new life into existing cabinetry, doors and feature pieces at a fraction of replacement cost. We strip, prepare and refinish in a controlled environment for a factory-smooth result.

It’s a sustainable, budget-friendly route to a brand-new look — ideal when the carcasses are sound but the finish is dated.

What’s included:

  • Professional spray finishing for cabinet doors and frames
  • Colour changes, re-lacquering and gloss/matte conversion
  • Stripping, sanding and surface repair
  • Distressed, two-tone and specialist effects
  • Durable, knock-resistant topcoats

Dubai insight  Re-spraying solid timber or quality cabinetry can save 40–60% versus full replacement — a favourite with savvy landlords refreshing rental units.

10. Glass Works

Glass adds light, depth and a contemporary edge. We design and install glass splashbacks, partitions, shelving, cabinet inserts and balustrades — toughened and finished to your specification. A back-painted glass splashback in particular is seamless, hygienic and effortless to wipe down.

All glass is tempered for safety and installed by specialists who get the tolerances and fixings exactly right.

What’s included:

  • Toughened back-painted glass splashbacks
  • Glass partitions and screens
  • Glazed cabinet doors and display inserts
  • Glass shelving and balustrades
  • Printed, frosted and tinted glass options

Dubai insight  A single-sheet glass splashback has zero grout lines — the easiest-to-clean surface behind a hob you can buy.

11. Partition Works

Open-plan living and efficient commercial layouts both rely on smart partitioning. We build gypsum, glass and solid partitions to separate cooking from dining, create utility zones, or divide a commercial kitchen into prep, cook and wash areas — with the right acoustic, fire and hygiene performance for each.

Partitions are where layout strategy becomes physical, so we plan them around real workflows and sightlines.

What’s included:

  • Gypsum and drywall partition systems
  • Glazed and aluminium-framed partitions
  • Acoustic and fire-rated partition options
  • Half-height counters and pass-through dividers
  • Concealed service routing within partitions

Dubai insight  In F&B kitchens, well-planned partitions create the prep–cook–wash separation that inspectors and efficient teams both demand.

12. Mirror Works

Used thoughtfully, mirror amplifies light and visually expands compact kitchens and dining nooks. We supply and install mirror splashbacks, feature panels and decorative inserts, all sealed and fixed to withstand a working kitchen environment.

It’s a designer’s trick that pays off beautifully in smaller Dubai apartments where natural light is at a premium.

What’s included:

  • Mirror splashbacks and feature panels
  • Antique, smoked and tinted mirror finishes
  • Decorative mirror inserts in joinery
  • Safety-backed, moisture-sealed installation
  • Custom shapes and bevelled detailing

Dubai insight  A mirrored or reflective surface opposite a window can make a galley kitchen feel almost double its size.

13. Metal Works

Custom metalwork delivers both strength and style — from stainless-steel worktops and shelving to powder-coated brackets, frames and decorative screens. Our metal fabricators produce hard-wearing, hygienic elements that are essential in commercial kitchens and increasingly popular as statement features in homes.

Stainless steel in particular is the workhorse of professional kitchens: durable, food-safe and effortless to sanitise.

What’s included:

  • Stainless-steel worktops, tables and shelving
  • Custom brackets, frames and support structures
  • Powder-coated and decorative metal screens
  • Brass, black-steel and brushed-finish feature elements
  • Bespoke fabrication to exact dimensions

Dubai insight  For commercial kitchens we fabricate to food-grade stainless standards — built to survive years of heavy daily cleaning.

14. Upholstery

Banquette seating, breakfast-bar stools and integrated dining benches transform a kitchen into a true gathering space. Our upholstery team crafts and re-covers cushioned seating in durable, wipe-clean fabrics and faux leathers chosen for kitchen life.

It’s the comfort layer that turns a functional kitchen into the room everyone actually wants to sit in.

What’s included:

  • Built-in banquette and bench-seat upholstery
  • Bar-stool and chair cushioning and re-covering
  • Stain-resistant, wipe-clean fabric and faux-leather options
  • Custom cushions, headrests and seat pads
  • Foam-density selection for long-term comfort

Dubai insight  We specify performance fabrics rated for high traffic and easy cleaning — essential anywhere food and drink are involved.

15. Wall Paneling

Wall paneling adds texture, warmth and a premium, tailored feel. We design and install timber, MDF, fluted, acoustic and decorative panels as feature walls, splash zones and full wall treatments that hide imperfections and elevate the whole space.

Paneling is one of the most cost-effective ways to give a kitchen a high-end, designed-from-scratch look.

What’s included:

  • Fluted, slatted and 3D decorative panels
  • Timber and veneer feature walls
  • Acoustic paneling for open-plan kitchen-living spaces
  • Moisture-resistant paneling for splash zones
  • Concealed-fix, seamless installation

Dubai insight  Fluted and slatted paneling is having a real moment in Dubai interiors — a quick win for that designer, magazine-shoot finish.

16. Vinyl Wrapping

Vinyl wrapping is the fast, affordable way to transform surfaces without a full strip-out. We apply premium architectural vinyl to cabinet doors, panels, worktops and feature walls — replicating wood, stone, concrete and solid colours with a durable, scratch-resistant finish.

For rentals, holiday homes and quick commercial refreshes, it delivers a dramatic before-and-after with minimal downtime.

What’s included:

  • Cabinet-door and panel wrapping
  • Worktop and splashback vinyl resurfacing
  • Wood, marble, concrete and solid-colour effects
  • Matte, gloss and textured finishes
  • Fast turnaround with minimal disruption

Dubai insight  An Airbnb or rental kitchen can be visually transformed with vinyl wrapping in days, not weeks — perfect between bookings or tenancies.

17. Stone Works

Nothing announces a premium kitchen like natural and engineered stone. We supply, template, fabricate and install quartz, granite, marble, porcelain slab and sintered-stone worktops, islands, splashbacks and waterfall edges — precision-cut for seamless joints and flawless reveals.

Stone is the centrepiece most clients touch every day, so we sweat the details: edge profiles, undermount sink cut-outs and book-matched veining.

What’s included:

  • Quartz, granite, marble and sintered-stone worktops
  • Waterfall-edge islands and feature surfaces
  • Full-height stone splashbacks
  • Templating, fabrication and seamless installation
  • Edge profiling, undermount cut-outs and sealing

Dubai insight  For Dubai’s hard water and heavy use, engineered quartz and sintered stone are the low-maintenance heroes — far more forgiving than soft marble.

18. HVAC & Ventilation

Kitchens generate heat, steam, grease and odours — and managing them is non-negotiable, especially in the UAE. Our HVAC specialists design and install air conditioning, fresh-air supply, extraction hoods, ducting and grease-management systems sized correctly for the space and cooking load.

Good ventilation protects your finishes from grease build-up, keeps the room comfortable, and is a hard requirement for commercial kitchen approval.

What’s included:

  • Extraction hoods and canopy systems
  • Grease ducting, filters and make-up air
  • AC supply and zoning for kitchen-living spaces
  • Fresh-air and exhaust balancing
  • Code-compliant commercial kitchen ventilation

Dubai insight  Commercial kitchens won’t pass approval without compliant extraction and grease management — we design it in from day one, not as a costly retrofit.

19. Plumbing Works

Behind every great kitchen is plumbing that simply works. Our plumbers install and reroute hot and cold water supply, drainage, waste, water heaters and connections for sinks, dishwashers, washing machines and filtered-water systems — pressure-tested and leak-checked before anything is closed up.

We plan pipe runs and falls carefully so drainage flows freely and there are no nasty surprises hiding behind your new cabinetry.

What’s included:

  • Hot and cold supply installation and rerouting
  • Drainage, waste and trap configuration
  • Sink, dishwasher and appliance connections
  • Water heater and filtration/RO system fitting
  • Pressure testing and leak detection

Dubai insight  We pressure-test every line before cabinetry goes in — finding a leak now is free; finding it after a stone worktop is installed is not.

20. 3D Design & Consultation

Before any tool comes out, we help you see your finished kitchen. Our designers translate your needs, style and budget into detailed 2D layouts and photorealistic 3D visualisations — so you can walk through the design, test finishes and refine the layout long before construction begins.

This upfront clarity is the single biggest reason our projects run smoothly: decisions are made on screen, not mid-build, and you know exactly what you’re getting.

What’s included:

  • Site survey, measurement and requirement consultation
  • Optimised 2D space planning and work-triangle design
  • Photorealistic 3D renders and walkthroughs
  • Material, finish, colour and hardware selection
  • Detailed scope, specification and itemised quotation

Dubai insight  For commercial kitchens we design around workflow and throughput first — the layout that keeps a busy F&B team fast and safe, then make it look the part.

21. Authority Approvals

Renovating in Dubai means navigating approvals — and we make that painless. Our team prepares and submits the required documentation and secures NOCs and permits from the relevant authorities, whether that’s Dubai Municipality, DDA, Trakhees, a free-zone authority, or your community developer and building management.

Commercial kitchens in particular carry food-safety, fire and ventilation requirements; we ensure your remodel is fully compliant and inspection-ready.

What’s included:

  • Developer and building-management NOCs
  • Dubai Municipality, DDA and Trakhees submissions
  • Free-zone authority approvals
  • Food-safety, fire and ventilation compliance for F&B kitchens
  • Drawings, documentation and inspection coordination

Dubai insight  Skipping approvals risks fines and forced reinstatement. We handle the paperwork so your project is legitimate, insured and trouble-free.
