I found this:

A 'Dry Fit' kitchen installation is the assembly, customising and fitting of furniture together with sink, taps, appliances and light fittings installed but with final connections to services and any other supplementary works undertaken by client's other appointed trades. Generally, our 'Dry Fit' installation service is only used by builders, developers or kitchen retailers. Most 'Dry Fit' installations will take approx. 3 Days to complete for small to medium sized standard 'L' & 'U' shaped kitchen layouts.

You need to ask this question of your kitchen supplier to get explicit understanding.

In the trade this usually means that they will install the kitchen and appliances but not carry out any plumbing work. You will be required to make your own arrangements to plumb taps, dishwashers etc.

Normally this would include the physical removal of your old kitchen and fitting of your new one, but not any gas, electrical, plumbing, or cosmetic work like tiling, plastering or decorating.

Exactly what is included in a dry fit can vary slightly depending on the fitter/supplier so double check with them what it includes and excludes. They should be happy to explain this to you.

id avoid this

- too much scope for the kitchen fitter to box in and make everything inaccesible that other trades (gas, electric, plumber) will need and

- all the trades to blame each other AT YOUR EXPENSE for !!!!ups
