Kitchen cost calculator

Work out what a new kitchen might cost in the UK. Choose a whole kitchen supplied and fitted, or fitting only if you are buying the kitchen yourself. You get a price range, how much of it is the fitter's labour, and how long the fitting takes.

  • Prices are estimates from published UK cost guides (checked 2026-11-06). Get at least three quotes.
  • Plumbing, electrics, flooring, plastering and removing the old kitchen can cost extra, so ask what each quote covers.
  • Prices for kitchens, worktops and appliances change little between regions, so a London or South East figure may be a little high. Fitting is what costs more there.

How to use the kitchen cost calculator

  1. Under What do you want priced?, choose Whole kitchen: supply and fit or Fitting only (you buy the kitchen).
  2. For a whole kitchen, pick the Quality of kitchen: budget, mid-range, or high-end or bespoke.
  3. Pick the Kitchen size. Count the wall and base units: small is about 6 to 8, medium about 10 to 14 and large 15 or more.
  4. Pick your region under Where do you live? so the price is adjusted for London, the South East, the North, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
  5. Read the range, the typical cost and the time to fit. Tap Add to shopping list to keep it, or Share link to send it on.

Why use this calculator

It splits the job in two. You can price a whole kitchen supplied and fitted, or just the fitter, which is handy if you are buying units from a retailer.

It shows how much of the price is the fitter's labour, and how many working days to allow, so you can see where the money goes.

It is brand-neutral. The prices come from published UK cost guides, not from a showroom wanting to book you in.

How we worked it out

Your numbers, step by step. This updates as you change the calculator.

  1. Using UK average prices, so no regional adjustment.
  2. Mid-range kitchens cost £8,000 – £14,000 supplied and fitted (units, worktop, appliances and fitting).
  3. A medium kitchen uses the whole range.
  4. After the regional adjustment: £8,000 – £14,000 (typical £11,000)
  5. Of that, the fitter's labour is about £1,700 – £3,000 (typical £2,500).
  6. Fitting takes about 4 to 10 working days.
  7. Total = £8,000 – £14,000 (typical £11,000)

How we estimate the cost

We use low, typical and high prices from published UK cost guides.

  • Whole kitchen: the price range for your quality level, supplied and fitted. The guides give one range per quality, not one per size, so we read a small kitchen as the lower half of the range (low to typical) and a large kitchen as the upper half (typical to high). A medium kitchen uses the whole range.
  • Fitting only: the fitter’s labour range, split into lower and upper halves in the same way.
  • Labour inside the whole-kitchen price: shown as a guide to how much of the total is the fitter. It is already inside the price, not on top.
  • Time: about 4 to 10 working days, typically 7, split by size the same way.
  • Region: the price is multiplied by a regional factor. London is 1.25, the South East 1.15, the North 0.92, Scotland 0.93, Wales 0.92 and Northern Ireland 0.88. These are our own estimates, not an official index.

What’s included

Supplied and fitted, UK average, for a medium kitchen:

Quality Low Typical High
Budget (flat-pack or basic units) £5,000 £6,000 £7,000
Mid-range £8,000 £11,000 £14,000
High-end or bespoke £20,000 £27,500 £50,000

These cover the units, worktop, appliances and fitting. Fitting only is £1,700 to £3,000, typically £2,500, and does not include a plumber or electrician.

Not included or often extra: plumbing, electrics, flooring, plastering, removing the old kitchen, and anything your own firm adds on top. The high-end range has no real upper limit, so treat the top figure as a guide only.

What changes the price

  • Quality. Flat-pack units and basic appliances cost far less than bespoke cabinets and premium worktops.
  • Size. More units, more worktop and more appliances mean a bigger bill.
  • Worktop and appliances. Laminate, solid wood and quartz or granite worktops are priced very differently.
  • Extra trades. Plumbing, electrics, flooring and plastering are often priced separately.
  • Where you live. Fitters charge more in London and the South East.
  • Fitter rates. Day rates vary a lot between guides, so quotes can differ widely.
  • Open-ended top end. For bespoke kitchens we found few sources, so that range is the roughest.

Tips

  • Count your units before choosing a size. The number of wall and base units has a bigger effect on price than the room's floor area.
  • Ask each firm exactly what is included. Plumbing, electrics, flooring, plastering and taking out the old kitchen can all be extra.
  • Gas and electrical work needs a Gas Safe engineer or a registered electrician, so check who is doing what.
  • Get at least three quotes, then compare them with the quote checker.
  • If you are buying the kitchen yourself, price the fitting only and check what the fitter expects you to have ready on day one.
  • A kitchen refit can also mean new flooring and paint. Work out those separately with the paint calculator and laminate flooring calculator.

FAQs

How much does a new kitchen cost in the UK?
A mid-range kitchen supplied and fitted costs about £8,000 to £14,000, typically around £11,000. Budget kitchens run about £5,000 to £7,000, and high-end or bespoke kitchens start around £20,000, and bespoke kitchens can reach £50,000 or more.
How much does it cost to fit a kitchen (labour only)?
About £1,700 to £3,000, typically around £2,500, for the fitter. That does not include a plumber or electrician. A small kitchen sits in the lower half of that range and a large one in the upper half.
How much does a small kitchen cost?
A small mid-range kitchen (about 6 to 8 units) comes out at roughly £8,000 to £11,000 supplied and fitted. A small budget kitchen is about £5,000 to £6,000. We treat a small kitchen as the lower half of each price range.
How long does it take to fit a kitchen?
About 4 to 10 working days. A small kitchen is nearer 4 to 7 days and a large one 7 to 10. Extra plumbing, electrics or plastering can add to that.
How much do plumbing and electrics add to a kitchen?
They are not priced separately here. Plumbing, electrics, flooring and plastering are often extra, so ask each firm what its quote covers and get those jobs itemised.
Do kitchen prices change by region?
Fitting costs more in London and the South East, but units, worktops and appliances change little. The calculator applies a regional factor to the whole price, so in London or the South East the figure may come out a little high.
