Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule to how much a new kitchen may cost. There are numerous different factors to take into account when planning a new kitchen, such as space, your chosen style or worktops and appliances and what extra functionality you would like, however, we can help you get an estimate so you decide whether installing a new kitchen would fit into your budget.
If you are planning to have a full re-design of your kitchen, then this will cost you more than if you were simply replacing like-for-like products. You can save money by designing your new kitchen yourself and simply paying for installation. You should always consider though that any structural changes such as layout and any plumbing or electrical work will need specialist tradespeople and will not be able to be done by kitchen fitters, increasing your overall cost.
If you go ahead with a redesign yourself and don’t need a structural change, then you can expect to pay, for an average sized kitchen, around £3 – 3,500 simply for installation of your new kitchen. This won’t include any unforeseen costs and you will have to purchase the products yourself.
Finding a reputable kitchen installer will ensure the work is conducted efficiently and correctly and in line with any building standards regulations. This can avoid any costly fixes in the future, so it really is worth reading customer reviews and testimonials and speaking to any companies themselves to find one that would work best for you and of course, getting different quotes so you have an excellent idea of what your new kitchen will cost.
Kitchen Projects
If you are planning on a full kitchen design, then it is likely to be more cost-effective to choose a company that can manage the project from start to finish, especially if you have a busy household and do not have the time to design or organise the project yourself. This complete service is one offered by us here at Bathrooms Direct & Kitchens and we have over 30 years of experience in fitting new kitchens, so we understand the complexities involved!
Our initial design service is free of charge, and we have a fabulous showroom to showcase our design and installation skills, which allows our customers to browse and get ideas and inspiration for the kitchen design stage of the process. Our friendly members of staff are always on hand, and if you haven’t got the time to visit our showroom, we can bring samples and brochures to you.
Before you get any quotes, especially if you are wanting a bespoke kitchen design, then a home survey should always be carried out. This enables all critical measurements to be taken and your kitchen space to be planned out efficiently and incorporates any practical needs, especially for customers with mobility issues.
Once you get your quote, you need to make sure it is within your budget. If changes are needed to make it more affordable, then most companies should be able to accommodate your requests. Before going ahead with any installation, you want to be happy with your quote and ensure that it is cost-effective for you.
As we mentioned earlier in the article, our design service is free of charge, and we strongly encourage everyone considering a kitchen renovation or remodel to take advantage of this. We work using the information our customers have supplied to create a few different layouts and designs and have software to enable our customers to realise the full potential of their kitchen. Once you have chosen your design, we offer at least one 3D colour drawing to make sure you are happy with your plan.
Communication is vital at this stage, if you are not happy with your design, not just from us but from any company, you should not be afraid to make alterations. Most reputable businesses will not have a problem and we want you to be happy with your design and product decisions!
Kitchen Installation
Installation costs will form a good part of your overall kitchen budget. This is because you need expert fitters to ensure everything runs smoothly and fits together correctly so you can enjoy your new kitchen!
If you have purchased kitchen worktops and appliances yourself, make sure they are stored safely before the installation day arrives. This will help avoid any issues for your kitchen fitters. You should also consider the costs for waste disposal. Some companies will provide this as part of their quote, but it is always worth checking and if not, you will need to arrange trips to the skips, council collections or a skip to make sure all your old kitchen waste is disposed of correctly.
If everything goes to plan, then your installers should arrive on site on the day you agreed. You should always pre-warn them of any possible access issues as this can affect how long it takes. If there are any problems during the fitting then the installers should discuss with you, good communication can make the process so much easier for everyone involved!
