I've just bought a kitchen and was wondering what the likely cost of having it fitted will be. My kitchen is about 3 metres long by 2 metres wide. I have having cupboards and wall cupboards all down one side and a breakfast bar on the otherside. The plumbing is already for the sink and washing machine so does anyone know what it would be likely to cost me if I have someone to fit it?

Your kitchen is the same size as mine. I'm having approx 14 cupboards fitted. I have been quoted £1200 for dryfit, plus extras ie. plumbing (the sink and washing machine are being swapped but I would have been charged anyway),and electrics which came to £600-£800 on top of the £1200. However, this is from the shop's fitters and the shop (a national chain) obviously take a cut. Having said that, I got another quote from an independent fitter which came to the same amount. It would have been around £300-£400 cheaper if the electrics in my house were up to current standard.

Here is the link to the thread where I asked others whether the price I was quoted was reasonable: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=77183
[EDIT: Now that your thread has been merged with my earlier one, the link just takes you back here!!!]

Also, if you mention where you are located, other MSE members may be able to recommend someone or tell you what prices to expect in the area.

Hope you get a good deal.
