Kitchen quote

SatanicHare

Hi, as a follow on to my first post, i would welcome opinions on this quote also
Kitchen : Remove existing kitchen, assemble and fit new units, 8 base 5 wall and one fridge/ freezeer integrated tall unit, core hole for external extraction all plumbing all gas work all electrical. £2140
Price does not include fitting worktops as we are still deciding what to fit, gas would appear to be remove and re-fit hob, electrical would appear to be install fridge freezer, oven and under lights on wall units, plumbing i assume is sink and new integrated washing machine. Need to contact joiner to confirm this as his quote is vague. He is friendly with , and recommended to me by plumber who fitted my boiler and is quoting for the bathroom.

I would say that was expensive, but it depends which part of the country you're in. I do kitchens (in the North West) and that is way over what I would be charging for what sounds like a fairly standard job, maybe a weeks work or less. I'd get a breakdown of what you're getting so you're sure everything is included and the final bill doesn't end up even higher.
Saying that, I would never employ a 'cheap' kitchen fitter, why spend thousands on a kitchen then get some muppet to make a mess of fitting it. And I speak from experience. The best thing to do is get a recommendation, not from a mates mate but from a previous customer.

Thanks Claretlass, my gut feeling was the same, i'm in Ayrshire, don't think we normally pay London prices here. Had used UKWoody's guide to price it out then added a little more for assembling the cabinets and it stil seemed expensive. Problem i'm having is finding a decent fitter, don't have any recommends that ive been able to view. Son's workmate passed on a number tonight so i'll give him a call see what he says. Appreciate you taking time to post.
