We handle all the heavy lifting. Once the Kitchen Pod is placed on your driveway, we take care of connecting electricity, water, and waste services. After that, we guide you through the handover process and hand over the keys, ensuring everything is ready for you.

Installation
We collaborate with you to position the pod in the most suitable location for your kitchen project. Prior to installation, we perform an on-site risk assessment to ensure a safe and secure setup.
Waste Water
Upon arrival, we install the pipework that channels wastewater from your pod to a nearby grey water drain. Ideally, the drain should be as close to the pod as possible to prevent trip hazards. However, the system can function over a short distance as long as there is enough slope in the pipe to ensure proper water flow.
Water Installation
We connect a protected, food-grade hygiene hose from your outdoor tap to our pod, ensuring the distance is no more than 25 meters. Although outdoor tap water is typically safe for drinking, we further filter it once it reaches our pod, making it suitable for drinking, cooking, and washing dishes.
Electrical Installation
To supply electricity to the pod, we run two cables from your property and connect them to a standard ring main circuit. The plug must be located no more than 25 meters from the pod.
Our pods are equipped with an RCD (Residual Current Device) circuit board for added safety, and the cables running to your property are also protected by an RCD plug.
“We work with you to position the pod where it will work best for you and your kitchen project.”
All our kitchen pods have been designed to the highest standards & specification so that you are not left short of home comforts whilst your new kitchen is being installed in your home. All our temporary kitchen pods come with the following features.
Don't worry, we can maneuver the pod around tight spaces and can level it as long as it's on your property.
Yes, we work with several companies - please cheak directly with your provider.
At the moment, we’re sorry but we aren’t able to provide a pod on public property. The pod needs to be located on your private land (eg. a site or driveway).
No. Because the pod is temporary and doesn’t require foundations, planning permission is not applicable.
The pod is no heavier than a modern family car and so it shouldn’t damage a normal driveway. If the pod were to be located on grass for extended periods of time, the lack of direct sunlight may affect the normal growth of grass underneath.
Don’t worry. We understand this sometimes happens so we allow a buffer time after your hire in case of any overruns. We just ask that you give us as much notice as possible so that we don’t come and prematurely collect the pod. In any case, we will always contact you a few days before the end of your hire to make sure your project is going to plan.
The day before your hire begins, we’ll give you a call to let you know when we’ll arrive and to confirm that someone will be present on site.
Once we arrive, we will agree with you the position of the pod. After this, we locate and install the services, stabilise the pod and apply the wheel locks.
We then share with you the features of the pod and make sure you’re comfortable before we leave you the keys.
It doesn’t normally take too long to set up but please allow up to 1hr for us on-site.
A few days before the end of your hire we’ll give you a call to check that all is going well with your project and agree a pickup day and time.
Once we arrive we’ll meet you, check that all is well, disconnect the services and simply leave you to enjoy your newly renovated home!
Absolutely! We know your pets are as important to you as your home so all our pods are totally pet friendly.
That’s great! Just get in touch with us and we will arrange to collect your pod.
From tail to tower hitch, our pods range between 5.2m and 5.9m long and 2.4m wide. Of course, you will need a little more width in the region of the access door to allow comfortable access.
The pod is supplied with an RCD protected circuit board so we simply need to run cables from the normal sockets in your house. For water, we connect up to an outside tap (and provide a filter in the pod) and for waste, we run pipework into a nearby suitable waste drain.
After every hire and before delivery to you, we thoroughly clean the inside of the pod and wash the outside. We also make sure they are thoroughly sanitised before beginning your hire in line with current Covid-19 guidance.
Simply get in touch with us at hire@kitchenpodsdirect.co.uk with your requested dates and we can get it booked in for you. If, for some reason, we don’t have availability for your dates we will work with you to find a time that does work for you and your project.
