Does this kitchen fitting quote sound ok?

[SunnyUpNorth]

Having a DIY kitchen fitter so all carcasses and drawers etc already assembled.

Kitchen consists of:
3 x drawer units
1 x corner unit
2 x cupboard
2 x tall units
2 x fronts for integrated dishwasher and washing machine
2 x wall unit
1 x extractor unit

Total quote to fit £2080, that doesn’t include electrics.
I think that sounds ok, it’s around what I was expecting-ish but we are on a tight budget so wondered if it’s worth shopping around a bit more? Although I’ve really struggled to get people to quote so not sure how feasible that would be.

I think it sounds ok - having mine done at the moment. Definitely worth getting at least one more quote though as depends on your area if it's a decent price.
Good luck!

It depends on why exactly they are doing in that quote. We got our old kitchen removed, old tiles removed from walls and floor, walls plastered, new lights put in ceiling and ceiling plastered, 7 floor cupboards, 5 wall cupboards, 2 floor to ceiling cupboards, cooker location and electrics moved, new extractor fitted in new location, new tiling done in 3 locations, new sink fitted in new location and plumbing altered and the new floor laid all for just over £3000.

*what exactly

Also depends where you are. If it is remove and fit a new one with no extras such as electrics then it sounds OTT.

Friends paying circa £1000 for basic fit but anything in addition is extra

I had a fantastic fitter who sorted removal of old kitchen, then fitting on new one including electrics, tiling and plumbing all for £1850 for a medium/large sized kitchen with 5 appliances, job and extractor fab.Could be Northern Irish pricing though?!

Sounds ok

We are having a new kitchen fitted in June. 5 x tall units, 1 x unit with drawers, 2 x wall units with extractor hood in the middle of them, 6 x floor units. We are having integrated dishwasher, oven, hood and hob with that. Includes plumbing. We've got someone else to do worktops. He's also removing old kitchen, we do know him, he's charging £1k which I think is v v good. We have to get someone else to do tiling.

Oh wow, I now think it’s expensive! Could it be because he is a joiner rather than a general builder?
I am putting the old kitchen on a Facebook page for free but the taker needs to dismantle and remove so he isn’t having to do that. There is a single layer of tiles as an upstand to be removed so that quote is literally to install the units and appliances as counter tops were to be done separately by the granite company. Keep reading about non skilled DIYers installing their own units and made me think it might be pricey.

ITs in the Lake District. We don’t live there so it’s been hard to find trades but I’ve asked a couple of people local to me if they would be willing to travel there to do it as it’s just over an hour, so will see.

If any of the posters with great deals live anywhere near the lakes let me know your fitters details!!

I had a diy kitchen fitted last year by a fantastic carpenter. He charged a day rate of £150 and was done in a week. He also managed to do all of the skirting boards in that time too so I think your quote is expensive.

Don’t suppose you’re based in the north west Bored?!

Were been charged 2.5k for a kitchen that comes mostly assembled. That will include electrics. Our builder is doing it but wickes quoted us 2.8k do I think yours sounds reasonable if everything's coming flat packed.

It’s coming fully assembled, no flat pack. Doesn’t include any electrics.

Just for the fitting it sounds expensive to me... no worktops? 13 units could be fitted in a day by a team of 2 at a push... easily in 2 days so really only 4 days at 150 to 200 a day per man... under 1000 would seem right

Does that include VAT, fitting worktops and plumbing? I had a similar amount of units to you put in just over a year ago and it was around £1800 inc. VAT. Plumbing, electrics and flooring were separate.

If that is just fitting for ready made units and without electrics I think it is expensive. Just that shouldn't take more than a couple of days so 3 to 5oo would be fine.
If it involves cutting and fitting laminate worktops, including cutouts for sink and hob then no more than £800.

My kitchen cost about £3k to buy and about £300 to fit which included sink and hob. It will be cheaper with an experienced handyman rather than a joiner.

My kitchen is 3.7m by 3m with 3 full height units, a corner, bin, sink, and drawer unit with a gap for dishwasher and an island with 2 drawer units and a breakfast bar

What are your worktops and is this fitter cutting and fitting these and end panels and upstands, these would increase costs but not by that much unless they are cutting granite or some other material for tops

Literally just fitting the units. THere will be a tiny bit of plumbing to do but really not much. Doesn’t include worktops as I have a guy lined up to cut and fit the granite onsite so won’t even need a template making.

I spoke to someone local today who has a builder who is going to take a look and quote.
