Countertop microwaves remain popular for their simplicity and flexibility. They require no exceptional installation work and can be placed anywhere there's an outlet. However, they do occupy valuable workspace. During a comprehensive kitchen renovation, our experts can create dedicated alcoves or shelving that keep your countertop microwave accessible without sacrificing prep space. This thoughtful planning makes a significant difference in kitchen functionality.


Over-the-Range Excellence: Dual-Purpose Solutions


Over-the-range microwaves combine cooking and ventilation functions, saving precious space. Professional
appliance installation ensures proper mounting, ventilation, and electrical connections. Our technicians verify that your microwave is securely attached to wall studs and correctly connected to existing ductwork. This installation requires precision to maintain safety standards and optimal performance, making professional installation particularly valuable.


Built-In Beauty: Seamless Integration


Built-in microwaves create a sleek, integrated look that enhances your kitchen's aesthetic appeal. During
kitchen remodel projects, we can incorporate built-in microwaves into cabinetry at convenient heights. This option maximises accessibility while minimising visual clutter. Our kitchen installation team ensures perfect alignment with surrounding cabinetry and proper ventilation clearances.


Drawer-Style Designs: The Modern Alternative


Microwave drawers represent the latest innovation in
appliance installation. Installed beneath countertops, these units pull out like drawers, offering easy access without bending or reaching overhead. Our specialists handle the precise measurements and custom cabinetry modifications required for these sophisticated units.


Professional Installation: The Key Difference


While countertop models may seem DIY-friendly, professional installation makes a difference for all microwave types. From ensuring proper electrical requirements to addressing ventilation needs and achieving perfect alignment with existing
tiling services and cabinetry, professional oven and hob installation teams bring expertise that guarantees safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.


Choosing the proper microwave placement depends on your kitchen layout, usage patterns, and design preferences. Our professional team guides you through these options, ensuring your choice enhances your kitchen's functionality and appearance.
