Confused and naive about kitchen renewal

Hi,

So, I need a new kitchen, and I need to do it as cheaply as possible.
Ideally, the following needs doing:
Removal of stud wall back by about 18 inches (it's small, about 1.5 metres across) but does include plumbing to the bathroom sink) which would need moving too.
Kitchen removed.
Kitchen fitted.
Floor of kitchen retiled.

My question is, a) what can I expect cost wise, and b) who do I contact? Joinery, plumber, tiler or all three??

    Advertise your job on https://www.mybuilder.com . That's your best bet as the pricing varies from place to place.

    We bought our units from a local supplier, and they were able to recommend a couple of reliable local joiners. As the particular joiner we went with works almost exclusive fitting kitchens, he had a plumber and tiler etc that he'd used before and it worked out fine.

    Cost wise it's difficult to say, it depends how big your kitchen is, how much work is involved in the strip out, is the kitchen already tiled, if so they likely they'll need to be removed? It also depends on what finish you go for, all the little things do add up.

    Why was the stud wall installed in the first place? Is it concealing a chimney or something?
  • I assume it was jut built when the bathroom was as it's an extension on the back but it's left me with a bathroom bigger than my kitchen! The kitchen is an extension and then a further one for bathroom (it's an old victorian terraced flat) I'll advertise on the site as suggested for prices though.

    Thanks everyone 👍
