Common questions

How much is a new kitchen for an average house?

A mid-range fitted kitchen for an average UK home typically costs £10,000 to £18,000 supplied and fitted, including units, worktops, standard appliances and labour. Budget kitchens start around £5,000 and high-end runs well past £25,000.

What is the most expensive part of a new kitchen?

Worktops, appliances and the units themselves are the biggest spend, followed by labour. Moving the sink or hob adds cost because of the extra plumbing and electrical work.

Can I save money by keeping the layout?

Yes. Keeping the sink, hob and units in the same places avoids moving water, waste and gas, which is one of the easier ways to keep a kitchen project down.
