What moves the price
- Unit range — flat-pack units cost a fraction of pre-assembled or bespoke kitchen cabinetry
- Worktop material — laminate is cheapest; solid wood, quartz and granite cost several times more
- Changing the layout — moving the sink, hob or extractor means new plumbing, gas and electrics
- Appliances — integrated, branded appliances add thousands to a kitchen budget
- Size of the kitchen — more units and worktop run means more materials and fitting days
- Trades involved — a kitchen fitter, plumber, Gas Safe engineer, electrician and tiler may all be needed
Building and repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical kitchen fitter would have cost about £11360 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Keep the sink, hob and dishwasher where they are so the kitchen fitter does not need new services
- Choose laminate worktops or a mix of laminate and stone to cut the kitchen budget
- Buy a mid-range kitchen unit range and spend on the parts you touch daily, such as drawers and worktops
Before you book
- Gas hobs and cookers need connecting by a Gas Safe registered engineer, so ask who will do it
- New kitchen circuits are a job for an electrician who can certify the work under Part P
- Ask whether the kitchen fitting quote covers strip-out, waste removal, plumbing and electrics
- Allow lead time for stone worktops, which are templated after the units are fitted
Kitchen Fitter cost: questions people ask
£6,000–£25,000 per kitchen, about £12,000 typical. A budget flat-pack refit on the same layout costs least; a mid-range kitchen with stone worktops and a new layout reaches the high figure.
One to two weeks for most homes. Stone worktops add a wait for templating, and building work extends it.
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may connect gas appliances. Check the engineer's ID card and that the work is on the register.
Yes. Many fitters will install a kitchen you supply, often for a day rate or a price per unit, though they will not guarantee faulty parts.
Tiling, flooring, plastering, decorating and structural work are often extra. Ask for them to be listed separately so you can compare kitchen quotes fairly.
