Renovating our Kitchen

We are on the verge of doing some major changes to the house, but wan't some ball-park ideas of prices before we decide what's worth doing or not.
Our kitchen is 10' x 12' with painted / plastered walls. The floor has original 1930s 4" quarry/teracotta tiles on compacted ash.
Can anyone give me an idea of the cost to.....
Can anyone give me an idea how long a job like this would take? We have to live in the house at the same time!
We're not looking for quotes as such - just are we closer to 2000 or 5000 if you get the idea.

Can anyone give me an idea of the cost to.....
- Remove existing cabinets *I can do this myself if necessary)
- Remove UPVC window & external door and make good (a conservatory will be built on the outside).
- Skim & paint all walls - including removing approx 3 sq.m tiling
- Paint Ceiling
- Remove &/or level existing floor.
- Supply & Fit Rhinofloor or equivalent
- Re-locate 3 electricity sockets
- Move light switch 30cm around corner.
- Minor plumbing to relocate sink/dishwasher
- Fit Ikea kitchen - approx 18 cabinets (I am able to build cabinets from flat-pack but 2 or 3 will need carpentry to fit). Obviously, the cost of the cabinets is separate to the rest of the job.

Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.
