Kitchen costs

fatbeetle

When I move back in 1 years time, I'm gutting and redoing the whole of my house.

This will include a new kitchen, bought and installed from a competent and trustworthy (I hope,) firm, as I'm no handyman.

Can someone give me a rough idea of how much a kitchen costs these days?

A bit of a broad ask I know!

Ours was about 12k fully installed and rewired but is a large kitchen and that includes appliances. Will vary a lot on size of kitchen, type of units and appliances etc. About 3,000 of it was installation and electrics, tiles and repainting, rest kitchen cost, cooker about 2,000, dishwasher free, fridge and freezer roughly 300 each. Got from Homebase and negotiated further discounts with them on sale price. It's roughly twice the size of a small kitchen which I guess would cost 6k. We are by London which may push up costs but was 2009.

In process of getting a new kitchen now - and that is definitely a "How long is a piece of string?" question.

All sorts of googling round later and a general broad estimate for a small everyday kitchen seems to hover around £8,000-£10,000. That, presumably, includes laminate worktop.

I've been told that my (medium size) kitchen would cost me roughly £500 for laminate worktops all round. In fact - I shall be having quartz worktops - and am therefore guessing at around £3,000 for them.

I've got a (very) rough guesstimate figure in my mind of around £10,000-£12,000 (not including floorcovering or whatever blind etc I put at the kitchen window) for:

7 units (including oven casing)
integral double built-under electric oven and ceramic hob (German)
cooker hood (German)
quartz worktops/upstands/cooker splashback/sink
taps
minor electrical work (2 "bits" to be altered and the lighting underneath wall cupboards)

A very ordinary kitchen imo - no "fancy bits" (well - just one small "fancy bit" - probably around £200). No integral machinery (apart from the cooker). Decor - just a painter repainting it in bog-standard paint. No tiling. The fitting to be done for me.

£9350 for me inc appliances. It's a 10.2 m2 space.
Appliances - £1550
Installation - £4100 (moved walls, plastered etc)
kitchen units - £3700 (handleless, everything soft close, higher end laminate worktops with upstands))

Mine felt expensive but for me is was worth having someone I had used before and trusted so I didn't have to have time off work or worry about anything especially since there were layout and wall changes. I'm really pleased with the finish and feel I got what I paid for.

The kitchen part of our room is 15x10ft ish and the dining part is the same and total cost Inc full skim and decorate, bulkheads and new everything was £10k with a joiner leading the charge. There's 14 base and wall units plus cupboards above and below the oven. The washing machine/dryer are in a utility room.

10k without appliances but including all tiling floor and ceiling, electrics etc. And it was a B&Q fit so you could take out about 4k in trades costs if you found someone to fit it cheaper.

We're part way through doing ours. It's approx 17' x 17'.

Cabinets were about £6k from Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch - that's for ten cabinets (of varying size up to 1m wide) and custom cooker hood, plus we have to get another two base cabinets (total £800) as we changed our layout I've painted them myself.

Island - built by DH - cost £200 for timber/MDF, but he incorporated a base cabinet we already had.

Work surface will be a mix of iroko and granite/marble £1500 max.

Double Belfast sink cost £200 on ebay (new) and tap £700.

Tiles (Fired Earth) £1000 - I'll include these but were left over from our previous house

Flooring - £0 - original parquet.

Range cooker will cost anything up to £2000.

Apart from fridge freezer which we already have, rest of appliances are in separate utility.

Estimated cost for re-routing plumbing/electrics £1200.

Handles £100 (reclaimed found on ebay).

Miscellaneous - grout, adhesive, paint etc £300.

We are doing all fitting, plastering, tiling and decorating ourselves.

Total cost (worst case scenario) approx £14,000 inc tiles......

Whatever quote you get, you can often half it if you do it yourself - much simpler than you might think.....
