New Kitchen -Kitchen Fitters or self

Will be doing my Kitchen in April, maybe May. The cost of buying all items, units, appliaances, worktops myself doing it myself is about £14k, includes about £1.5k for labour, Tiling and Electrician and worktop fitting.

A kitchen installation company have quoted me £19k for the complete job, done in 4 days.

So £5k extra for getting it done in a week. The difference is too much, what price differential would make you do it yourself, or would you just get some one in to to it.

If you are confident you can do the job to a decent standard yourself then it's a no brainer.

Even if it cost me money I would probably do it myself, but I enjoy it.

With MX5huggy on that , but over the years have bought the 'toys' so will use them

I don't understand the £1.5K labour if you are doing it yourself. Is this what it will cost you to take the time off or you are actually forking out that on labour AND doing the fitting yourself?

The 1.5k labour is for electrical, worktop and tiling work I will pay for tradesmen.
