Do you think this quote for kitchen fitting is really expensive?

[AlicesRabbitHole]

We don't have a very big kitchen. We had a kitchen fitter guy round to quote for doing our kitchen. The quote was just under £7000.

Seemed reasonable until I noticed that the cost of the the units and the appliances were in the exclusions and were to be supplied by us. Also we were to supply the worktop.

We haven't had a new kitchen fitted in a long time and the seems very expensive. Just checking that I'm not really out of touch? We are not having any building work done nor is the layout changing very much. The quote included removing floor tiles, skip hire, plastering, Labour for flooring but for us to supply, electrics and plumbing, we need a new fuse box (electrician told us this was about £500).

That seems expensive for a like for like kitchen. But I think you were being very optimistic to think 7k would include the cost of the new kitchen.

I think that seems a bit pricey - maybe look at independent skip hires and remove floor tiles yourself to cut costs?

Also look around! I want some work done in my kitchen and I've had quotes from £800-£3500 so it's worth asking around. We need a beam in our kitchen and I was told it would cost £1k.. looked it up myself and it'll cost £300 max

Very expensive and way over! I would get more quotes.

The kitchen is a DIY kitchen and costs about £2600 for the units. The costings is included on the quote that's why it was confusing. I couldn't work out why it would cost nearly £7000.

We would definitely remove tiles and hire skip ourselves. And have got other people booked in for quotes.

We’re having our kitchen moved into a different room and all the work including installing new plumbing, changing 2x radiators, new electrics, tiling, building and fitting units came to £3.5k do i’d say your quote is definitely on the high side!

Ours was done a while back and is a big kitchen and think we had a quote of 3,500 so maybe with inflation 4k - I don't that didn't include electrics, plastering, skip or removal of old kitchen. We removed old kitchen and took to skips ourselves - saved 1k or so. We found it expensive so got others in but did turn out that price but think 7k is ott.

How quickly are installers saying they can install? We are looking at getting a new kitchen and Homebase said would be end Sept if order mid to end July.

Just had small'ish kitchen done. Plus new electric board etc, like you.

It does seem expensive. BUT, I think you are totally underestimating the cost of actually installing, laying new Floors, all the electric work and plumbing needed.

We worked so hard, Dh and I and did constant dump runs of old flooring, old kitchen cabinets, constant cleaning and tidying up.

And it STILL cost a fortune!
