    I think it's clear that the OP wants to know roughly what a basic new kitchen for a small galley shaped space might cost.

    6-12k I'd say.

    Agreed....
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    we paid £1,500 for a second hand one from ebay to put into our rental 3 years later its still really good original owner paid £10,000 when new
    People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

    Rat Race

    Oh dear, it usually depends what amount of work you can put to it, who you know, and how much kitchen you need.
    My last two quite large kitchens have been 2k
    One was 28 units other 22 units.
    One is an ex display, granite worktops, top end appliances, didn't change flooring, very little electrical work, fitted by moi and partner
    The other is b and q, builder friend gave us the discount, had to re plumb, rewire, replaster, whole house. And partner and me built the cupboards and fitted.
    I reckon fitting and electrical work cost more than kitchens quite often.
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    My galley kitchen - with hob, oven and fridge - was about £13k. That included quartz worktops, which will have bumped up the price.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    It's all in the finish, the worktops can cost as much as the kitchen so you just need to set a budget to find out the manufacturer you're going to use.


    You can buy a kitchen off the shelf in Trade-point for less than a grand and find a fitter, who will be about another grand to fit or you can go bespoke and pay 40k+.


    Give us a number of cabinets in the place now and a budget then you can get a better idea.

    Why does the OP mention 'including appliances', when the cost of those will vary as much as the kitchen units? Buy Beko, and you might get the lot for a grand. Go for Miele, and it'll be five grand.
    You might as well ask 'how much will a carpet cost'?
    £5-50K was absolutely spot on.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    And some. Our coffee machine was 3k and that isn't on the OP's list.
