Kitchen disposal in Berlin – dismantled, collected, done
Getting rid of a fitted kitchen is more than bulky waste: cupboards have to be dismantled, appliances separated and connections made safe beforehand. We take care of dismantling, carrying and disposal.
What has to be done before dismantling
- Electric cooker: the high-voltage connection may only be disconnected by a qualified electrician.
- Gas cooker: only a licensed fitter may disconnect and seal the gas pipe.
- Water: turn off the isolation valves under the sink. If there are none, please ask a plumber beforehand.
- Rented flat: if the kitchen belongs to the landlord, it may only be removed with their consent.
- Empty the cupboards or tell us what should happen to the contents.
Included in our fixed price
- Dismantling and carrying from the flat, basement or attic, even without a lift
- Removal and proper disposal
- Happy to combine with other furniture or a full clearance
Collections start from €250. We give you the fixed price after photos via WhatsApp, in writing, before we come.
Everything that belongs to the kitchen
Wall and base units
We take the cupboards off the wall and dismantle them so that they fit through the stairwell.
Worktop & sink
Worktop, sink and tap, once the water has been turned off.
Electrical appliances
Cooker, oven, fridge, dishwasher and extractor hood go separately to the collection point for old electrical appliances.
Not in the standard scope: we only remove tiled splashbacks, glued-down floor coverings and wall panelling by prior arrangement. Panels containing asbestos may only be removed by a specialist firm qualified under TRGS 519.
Dispose of it yourself or have it collected?
If you dismantle the kitchen yourself and have a vehicle, you can hand in wooden parts and electrical appliances at a BSR recycling centre, free of charge for Berlin private households (bulky waste, wood and metal combined up to 3 m³ per delivery, old electrical appliances in normal household quantities). Collection is worthwhile if nobody can dismantle and carry, or if the kitchen is part of a bigger clearance.

What is left after the kitchen comes out
A normal fitted kitchen is taken out in a few hours. The wall rarely looks the same afterwards, though. Where wall cabinets hung there are plug holes, behind the sink the tiles often only reach the worktop, and under the base units the floor is sometimes not tiled throughout. That is normal, but should be clear before a flat handover.
We remove, carry and dispose. Filling holes, adding tiles or painting walls is not part of our service. If the kitchen belongs to the landlord or a new tenant wants to take it over, please clarify that first. A dismantled kitchen cannot be put back together without it getting expensive.
Appliances in good condition, such as a new fridge or an almost new oven, do not have to go for disposal. Tell us what you want to keep; we take the rest.
Questions about this topic
Do you also disconnect the cooker?
No. Only a qualified electrician may disconnect the high-voltage connection, and only a licensed fitter a gas pipe. Once that is done, we dismantle everything.
Can I sell the kitchen instead of throwing it away?
A kitchen in good condition can sometimes be sold, and then the buyer usually dismantles it. If that does not work out, we collect it.
How long does dismantling take?
A normal fitted kitchen is usually dismantled and removed within a few hours. Exactly how long depends on size and access.
Will there be plug holes in the wall?
Yes. We remove and dispose of the kitchen; we do not fill or paint. Check with your landlord what is expected at handover.
Can I keep the appliances and only have the units removed?
Yes. Tell us beforehand which appliances stay. We put them aside and take only the rest.
