If you are thinking of installing a new kitchen yourself, remember that you may still need to arrange for appropriate tradespeople to connect appliances, sinks and taps, and to carry out certain electrical or gas work as the installation progresses. Kitchen installation can therefore involve a mixture of DIY work and work that must meet specific legal or technical requirements. Gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, while electrical work must comply with the relevant regulations and standards.
Before starting a DIY installation, make sure any necessary pre-installation work, such as repositioning electrical sockets, gas supplies or water connections, has been completed before you begin fitting the kitchen.
A little preliminary work can help when choosing a contractor for your kitchen installation. Ask relatives, friends and neighbours if they have used local tradespeople for similar work and whether they would hire them again.
Once you have a shortlist, check whether any relevant registrations, qualifications or trade body memberships apply to the work being carried out. Kitchen fitters may also work alongside or subcontract plumbers, electricians or joiners depending on the project. Ask for written quotations, references where available and examples of previous kitchen installations.
Price should not be the only factor when comparing quotes. Consider availability, what is included in the quotation, examples of previous work, customer feedback and how clearly the contractor explains the project. Once you have chosen a contractor, make sure the written agreement includes the total price, payment schedule, scope of work and details of any warranty that applies.
The cost of fitting a kitchen will depend on the size of the room, the style you choose, the features included, whether the kitchen is bespoke or pre-assembled, and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. Labour costs can vary considerably depending on the amount of work involved.
For a clearer idea of the likely cost, compare written quotes from several local kitchen fitters by clicking on the "post your job" button on this page. Local companies can then assess the work required and provide a quotation based on your chosen kitchen and property.
