Cost of installing a kitchen?

Hi all,

My kitchen is around 3m wide and 2.5m deep. Looking to replace the whole thing with new units from Ikea with tiled floor and walls.

There will be around 8-10 units to be fitted and layout is as below:

There will be a small amount of plumbing and gas piping needed for the new locations of the sink, fridge and gas cooker/hob.
The worksurface will prob be Corian or similar. Granite is a bit expensive but laminate i dont particularly like.

anyhow, my local builder quoted £1500 for labour charges to fit the units, removed the old, tiling and plumbing. So pretty much everything.
Does this sound reasonable? He's quoted around 10 days of work.

Many thanks in advance.

    sounds like a very good price. If it was any cheaper would question if it was to cheap but depends on where you live.

    £1500 is a good price eh? I'm in NW London.

    That's a decent price. My kitchen is about the same size and I paid the same. The fitter was a neighbour so I guess I got a fair deal there. I assume extra for the gas work (to be done by as gas-safe workman) otherwise it's a very good price.
    EDIT: I'm in NW1
