Kitchen Cost FAQ
Everything you need to know about budgeting for a new kitchen in the UK, from unit quality to hidden costs and ways to save.
A new kitchen in the UK typically costs between £5,000 and £30,000 depending on size and specification. A basic flat-pack kitchen can cost as little as £3,000 installed, while a bespoke, fully fitted kitchen with premium appliances can exceed £50,000. The UK average for a mid-range kitchen is around £8,000–£15,000 including fitting.
Kitchen fitting costs typically cover removal of the old kitchen, assembly and installation of new units, fitting of worktops, plumbing connections for sink and dishwasher, basic electrical work, and tiling. Complex jobs involving structural changes, underfloor heating, or full rewires will cost more and may require separate tradespeople.
A standard kitchen installation takes 3–7 working days for an experienced fitter. Larger kitchens or those requiring extensive plumbing and electrical work may take 1–2 weeks. Bespoke kitchens with complex layouts can take up to 3 weeks from delivery to completion.
Kitchen units and cabinetry are often the largest single cost, typically 30–40% of the total budget. Worktops (especially stone or quartz), appliances, and labour are the other major costs. Structural changes such as removing walls or adding an extension can exceed all other costs combined.
Yes. Keeping the existing layout (so plumbing and electrics stay in place), choosing flat-pack rather than rigid units, selecting laminate over stone worktops, and supplying your own appliances can each reduce costs significantly. Fitting the kitchen yourself if you have the skills can save £1,500–£4,000 in labour.
