What moves the price
- Size of the kitchen — more units and a longer run of worktop mean more fitting days for the kitchen fitter.
- Complexity of the design — corner units, islands and made-to-measure panels take longer to fit than a straight run of cabinets.
- Worktop material — stone or quartz worktops are measured and cut by specialists, so they cost more to fit than laminate.
- Condition of the existing space — uneven walls, old units to strip out or damaged floors add work before the new kitchen goes in.

How to pay less
- Buying the kitchen units yourself and booking the kitchen fitter for fit-only can cost less than supply-and-fit.
- Keeping the sink, cooker and dishwasher where they are now saves the cost of moving plumbing and electrics for the new kitchen.
- A laminate worktop costs much less than stone or quartz and can still give the new kitchen a smart finish.
- Taking out the old kitchen units yourself before the fitter arrives can cut a day of labour from the bill.
- Reusing appliances that still work well, rather than buying new integrated ones, can lower the cost of the kitchen fit.
Before you book
- Access to the kitchen area for measurements and installation.
- A clear idea of your desired kitchen layout and style preferences.
- Any existing plans or designs you may have considered.
- Information on any specific appliances or materials you wish to include.
