U-shaped kitchens in Los Montesinos

We have been fitting u-shaped kitchens in Los Montesinos for years, so we know the homes in the area. You get a fixed price before we start and the delivery date in writing.

Los Montesinos is a flat village with low houses: square kitchens with access to a patio or garage, and many with the washing machine and pantry already outside. This works in favor, as it frees up space for cabinets. The typical renovation here is to leave the laundry in the patio and the kitchen clean, with an oven column, drawers in all the lower cabinets, and a countertop that can actually be used for cooking.

Three walls working. It is the layout that offers the most countertop space and storage, and it best separates the washing, cooking, and storage areas. In return, it needs enough width for two people to cross each other.

Cocinas en U

How wide is needed?

There must be a minimum corridor of 120 cm between the two opposing fronts. With less than that, you cannot open a drawer and the dishwasher door at the same time, and the kitchen becomes uncomfortable just when it is used the most.

With 150 cm, two people can fit comfortably. Above 180 cm, you start to walk more, and then an L-shaped layout with an island usually compensates better.

Two corners to solve

A U has two corners instead of one. They are solved just like in the L, with extras, and it is advisable to decide this from the design stage because it affects which piece of furniture goes in each spot.

When a U-shape fits in Los Montesinos

A U needs width: three runs and room to open the doors. In villas in the resorts and large flats in the centre, mostly from 2000 onwards, sometimes it fits and sometimes it does not.

Kitchens round here tend to be separate and large, with windows and a utility gallery, so we measure before proposing one. If it will not fit, an L gives you almost the same storage.

Counting from the day we start at your place: between two and three weeks for a full renovation, and less than a week if we are only changing the units. The fitting itself is two days; the rest is getting ready and whatever work is needed. We put the timeline in writing in the quote, and we fit in Los Montesinos with our own team, so it does not depend on third parties.

It depends on the quality chosen, but for a small and economical kitchen, just the furniture without appliances, we can estimate from 250 euros per linear meter.
