New kitchen costs?

[yallamamma]

Has anyone recently done a kitchen refurb?

I'm looking at several options, from IKEA to Neptune, and also bespoke.

How much have you paid or been quoted for roughly 6m of units (including wall units), and an island, and where from? I'm trying to get some ballpark figures! If anyone has a rough price on IKEA cabinets plus bespoke doors/tops that would be super helpful!

We have all our appliances already.

Thanks!

Anybody?!?!

About 5k without appliances. Ikea is quite expensive - more so than local kitchen people

Thanks. That's why I'm leaning towards IKEA cabinets, but with bespoke doors and work tops, I reckon there might not be that much in it and at least I can get the door finish I'm after.

I just bought the cheapest kitchen Ikea have and it was £837 including oven, fridge, hob, sink, drawers, one small unit run and door handles. But that's no wall units and only one shall run on one wall.

Small

I've also paid £6k for beautiful bespoke cabinets in another property. So it all depends.

I paid 8k 10 years ago for bespoke hand made units, wood worktops and fridge and boiler housing. I don't know how long it is but I have 3 double base and wall cupboards and a hollow island.

It's the best money I have ever spent. It still looks brand new 10 years later. When we were selling our house everyone- including the estate agent- thought it was new.

I don't think we will be able to afford the same in the house we move to, and I am really sad about that!

We have a decent budget, but I definitely want to use that on other areas, eg. the floor, the island. Hoping to use wood, stainless steel, so nothing too expensive really, and these figures are less than I was expecting. Phew!

I just got mine from DIY kitchens it was by far and away the cheapest and I got quotes from b and q, Howdens, optiplan, magnet etc. It's fitted now and I'm really pleased with it. Units and laminate worktops not including appliances but including utility room 5.5k

Honestly I have budgeted up to £20K, but seeing these figures make me think I might save some of that for a nice dining table/chairs etc.

It's one long run of units, plus wall units on most of that, then a long-ish island. So it's quite a lot of cabinets I think.

We're looking at about £8.5k including fitting etc for ours from diy kitchens, laminate workshop though, that is a U shape but one side is about 4m with wall units then a 2.8m wall and 2.6m wall so quite a lot of units too. You can save money and gain space by using larger units eg 800mm wide drawers instead of 2 400mm wide pullouts.

I just had a kitchen fitted, it's U shaped, but there is probably a good 6 m of units in there. The kitchen itself (no appliances) was about £6k from a local kitchen selling place (a bit like a Howdens). Removing the old kitchen and fitting the new one was not included in this price. My quartz worktop was about £2.5k on top of that. Flooring and new electrics extra too (into the thousands). Cost a bloody fortune! Looks nice though... good luck OP

The Ikea kitchen planner is really easy to use and will give you a break down of costs with appliances as extras. We are looking at 6m of cabinets and an island from Ikea with non Ikea appliances and worktops and are expecting to pay less than £5k for the Ikea cabinets etc.

My kitchen was 22,000 installed, including all new neff appliances and a corian worktop. It has more than 18 metres of units but no island.
I've been very pleased with the quality, we used a local recommended shop and the service has been exemplary. We wanted one company to do everything so we only had one person to deal with to deal with any problems. So glad we went down this line.
I wanted stainless steel worktops but the price was extortionate, much more expensive than corian.

My current quote is £32k. Trying to get it around £25k.

Bespoke kitchen with a large island, and a utility room.
Huge amount of money.
Ridiculous

But we are also having building work done (not included in figure above) and I don't want to go through all the stress and costs of building work and then end up with a cheap kitchen or one I don't love.

We spent about 14k. Units, worktop and fitting by homebase. We had tiling on the walls and floors done and bought some new appliances (1k on a cooker). Not sure of size but it's not a small kitchen. I should think you can definitely do it for less than 20k.

Hiya, you can do a kitchen on a budget if you're will to DIY.

We bought a kitchen from B&Q. Our kitchen isn't small but it also isn't that big so medium ish (jeeze my description isn't great).

Our units cost £1300
Our tiles cost about £100
Our floor cost about £120

It took absolutely ages to build and fit, but it's done and looks perfect.
We had to get someone in to fit worktop as they can make invisible joins. He cost £100.
I did units and tiling, husband did floor and fitting units to walls x

The way to slash your prices is to not have it fitted by the people you buy it from they will charge +++++££££££ find a local joiner who will be better at it and much cheaper for eg our kitchen was about 4K to have it fitted by b & q would cost about 6k more our joiner cost us £500 took him 4 days!! Also they will sell you loads of unnecessary stuff/equipment/fittings that you don't need we had to return £1500 worth of stuff that we didn't need! If we didn't had the advice from the joiner we wouldn't have known this!

We had a very small budget as we intend to leave our (starter) home soon.

Obviously wanted to increase value of our house but didn't want to spend our deposit for next house.

Good luck! Xx

My designer said if you're having granite/stone have it on the island & laminate on other worktops if you need to cut costs.

Currently our kitchen is black floor tiles & I hate it. Thinking of getting cheap lino, less cold & fast to fit. My friend had old wooden effect link & it looks great. We're also having building work done-part if me is thinking about not bothering with a fitted kitchen at all. I want a moveable island but few kitchen folk I've spoken to have just said no!

Ikea units from what I can remember only come in even sizes and don't have a gap at the back of them. I would shop around online if i was you and get the "best price" without all the haggling you get on the highstreet!

We had our kitchen from a bespoke manufacturer in the midlands - www.broadwaybespokekitchens.com

They worked with us to get the design absolutely to where we wanted it. We had quotes from Tom Howley (44k), Mark Wilkinson(61k) and from Devol(29k) but Broadway were extremely good value (although not cheap) spent 16k on furniture - they were the only company who offered to supply just the furniture. All the others wanted to do the whole job - my husband knows a granite supplier and so we got them to do that.

Good Luck!

Devol about £13k but no wall cabinets and inc bespoke colour. Their fitter was about £3k on top.
