What’s the going rate to fit a new kitchen?

I’m getting quotes for to replace my kitchen and want to know what’s a fair price to expect? Is there a rough per square metre rate that tradesmen use for this type of job?

"A full kitchen installation in London typically costs £1,800–£2,800 for labour for a standard medium-sized kitchen, depending on the number of units, plumbing and electrical changes, and whether any plastering or floor levelling is required. More complex kitchens with integrated appliances, new lighting circuits, moving plumbing, or additional repairs usually come in around £2,800–£4,000. If quartz or granite worktops are involved, you also need to add the separate templating and installation cost charged by the supplier. Overall, most customers expect a total labour price of £2,000–£3,500 for a normal install, increasing if the layout is changed or extra work is needed."

"Hi mo

Most kitchen fitters usually price off of plans. As this will show what is exactly involved in fitted a kitchen. As each kitchen is different.
But as a rough guide an 8-12 unit kitchen you could expect between £1500-£1850. ( utility size ) for a full scale kitchen anything from £3500-£4500.

Hope this helps"

"It depends on what needs doing. If its a straightforward remove and install 8 units, and fit work surfaces and install 3 appliances then around £2000, but if you have to use other trades such as electrical (re wiring, new sockets), plumbing (sink), gas fitting (boiler and cooker/hob) etc then it will greatly increase due to having to bring in the other trades. Most fitting pricing will be based on a client by client basis based on the work required for that particular kitchen."

"depends on the size and if you have changed the layout, every kitchen is different and a small can cost 6 grand and I have fitted one that cot 38k last year so from low to high depending on design and what you have fitted if ay wiring or plumbing is needed and if any plastering is needed tiling and flooring so any pic you my be given will probably be wrong . it needs looking at by a kitchen fitter."
