How much should I expect to have a kitchen fitted. I am supplying the kitchen myself and will be removing existing kitchen units etc myself.

    Are you buying a kitchen units that is pre-assembled or assembling it yourselves?  That could save you a good few hundreds.

    Is power in the correct place to connect the hob and oven? Is sink remaining in the same location? Will worktops have to be cut and joined, and if so what type of worktop?  How many floor and how many wall units?

    Depends on so many things.  I've learned that a solid wood work surface costs more to install than laminate, apparently.  Fitter says it's much harder to cut.  Probably best to get three or four quotes and compare them.
