Kitchen cost snapshot
Budget, mid-range and premium all behave differently
Use the calculator first, then compare the result with guides on labour, worktops and whether a refresh could beat a full replacement.
Remember
Layout changes and island kitchens usually push labour higher faster than people expect.
Good next step
After calculating, read the kitchen guide or compare refurbish vs replace before asking for quotes.

What affects your number most?
Use this estimate to narrow the right scope before getting quotes
Cabinet quality, appliances and layout complexity normally move the total more than cosmetic choices. If your result feels high, compare a refurbishment route before assuming you need a full replacement.
How We Estimate
- • Prices reflect UK average supply and installation costs for a typical homeowner commissioning work through a general builder or kitchen fitter.
- • Region multipliers apply to labour rates only; material costs are broadly consistent across the UK.
- • This tool does not constitute a formal quote. Always obtain at least 3 written quotes from qualified tradespeople.
- • Costs assume no structural work (removing walls, RSJs, etc.). Structural work can add £3,000–£15,000+ depending on scope.
- • Last updated: Q2 2026.
Quick answers for UK homeowners
How much does a new kitchen cost in the UK?
The cost depends on kitchen size, cabinet range, worktop material, appliances, fitting complexity and whether plumbing or electrics move.
Why do kitchen quotes vary so much?
Quotes vary because some include fitting, disposal, plumbing, electrics, flooring and decoration while others only price cabinets and worktops.
What should I compare first?
Compare cabinet quality, worktop material and fitting scope first. Those choices usually drive the largest cost differences.

How to turn the kitchen estimate into a quote checklist
Kitchen budgets move quickly because cabinets, worktops, appliances, electrics, plumbing, flooring and decoration are often quoted separately. The calculator gives you a starting range, but the biggest differences usually appear in worktop material, appliance level, layout changes and whether walls or services need altering.
Before comparing suppliers, decide whether you are replacing like-for-like or changing the layout. Moving sinks, ovens, extractors or radiators can turn a straightforward fit into a much larger project.
What to confirm in writing
- Whether removal, disposal and making good are included.
- Whether electrical and gas work include certification.
- Whether worktop templating, splashbacks and upstands are included.
- Whether appliance connection, flooring and decoration are separate.
- Whether VAT, delivery and project management are included.
