Good Houses
Kitchen quotes
Replacing a kitchen: units and worktops, appliances, flooring, lighting, and usually the plumbing and electrics behind them. This page also covers utility rooms, which are usually the same trades and often the same project.
Is your property suitable?
Almost any house, which is why the price range is so wide. The useful question is not whether you can, it is what you are actually buying. A straight swap of units in the same layout is a different job from moving the sink, taking out a wall, or changing where the appliances live.
Typical cost range
£5,750 – £28,750
Excludes VAT, and includes a 15% contingency allowance for the unexpected.
Three things move the figure more than anything else: the layout, the materials and the appliances. The kitchen cost calculator gives a range scaled to your kitchen size.
It is also worth knowing how kitchens are sold. Wren, Wickes, Magnet and Howdens all supply them and several offer payment plans, but they do not all work the same way. Some sell to you directly; others design with you and then supply through your fitter's trade account. Either way, supply and fitting are often two separate purchases, so a price for the kitchen itself will not include somebody installing it.
What to ask before hiring
Ask what is supply and what is fitting, and who is responsible for each. Ask whether plumbing and electrical changes are included or quoted separately. Ask what happens if a unit arrives damaged or late, and who is out of pocket while you wait. Ask how long you will be without a working kitchen.
Red flags
A single price with no breakdown between units, appliances, fitting and the trades behind the walls. A design produced before anyone has measured. Pressure to sign in a showroom to hold a discount.

Common questions
Does the price include fitting?
It depends who you buy from, so always ask. Some sellers quote a fully fitted price and send their own fitters, with the extra cost included in what they quote you. If you are buying the kitchen alone then fitting is not included, and you will need fitters separately. Many suppliers have their own fitters if you want one.
What makes the biggest difference to the price?
The layout, the materials and the appliances. A kitchen of identical size can land in completely different places on those three decisions alone.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
Ask before you start, because it varies a lot with how much plumbing and electrical work is involved. It is one of the most common things left out of a quote conversation.
Do all kitchen suppliers work the same way?
No. Some sell to you directly, while others design with you and then supply through your fitter's trade account. It is worth knowing which you are dealing with.
