Dream big. Build smart. Get the kitchen you deserve. Custom kitchens transform homes. But first, know the numbers. I’m here to break down the cost of kitchen installation. No fluff. Just facts. Ready? Let’s dive in.


What Drives the Cost of Kitchen Installation?


Costs vary. Know the factors. Control your budget.


  • Size Matters: Bigger kitchens need more materials and labor.

  • Materials Count: Solid wood cabinets cost more than MDF or laminate.

  • Appliances Included? High-end appliances add to the price.

  • Labor Costs: Skilled installers charge premium rates.

  • Design Complexity: Custom shapes and built-ins increase time and cost.

  • Location: Urban areas often have higher labor costs.


Example: A 10x12 kitchen with mid-range cabinets and standard appliances might cost £8,000 to £12,000. Upgrade to luxury materials and appliances? Expect £20,000+.


Plan ahead. Prioritize what matters most. Cut costs where you can.

Breaking Down the Cost of Kitchen Installation


Understand each piece. Avoid surprises.


  1. Cabinetry - 30% to 40% of total cost. Custom cabinets cost more but last longer.

  2. Countertops - 10% to 15%. Granite, quartz, or marble push prices up.

  3. Appliances - 20% to 25%. Choose energy-efficient models to save long-term.

  4. Labor - 25% to 35%. Includes demolition, plumbing, electrical, and installation.

  5. Extras - Lighting, backsplashes, flooring, and permits add to the bill.


Tip: Get multiple quotes. Compare apples to apples. Ask for detailed breakdowns.
