Does this sound a reasonable cost to fit a kitchen

I was quoted £3500 to fit a howdens kitchen, 5 base units, 3 tall units, 8 wall units, built in washer dryer, dishwasher, hob, double oven microwave and cooker hood

Is this the going rate or am i being ripped off?
I stupidly didn't get any other quotes as he seemed a really nice guy and seemed to know his stuff. I did invite others to quote but didn't hear back and i only have 2 weeks to go before our dream kitchen arrives. I'm not sure if its last minute nerves or alarm bells...

Is that including the kitchen?

We've just paid 780 for the fitting of our new kitchen, he's been onsite for 2.5 weeks so it's ridiculously cheap. We are in the E Midlands.

That's actual slave labour. How can you be ok with that?

I was just thinking that! You are not only paying someone’s labour cost - but wear and tear on tools, I assume insurance, transport costs etc etc. I also really hope materials were on top of that!! Because you always need extra stuff on top of the kitchen carcasses.

it just be well below minimum wage!
