How much was your kitchen?

[Isittheend]

I hope this is not super cheeky but I'm trying to gauge what is a realistic budget for a kitchen. I know we can't afford top of the range everything but not do I want basic.
So how much did you spend? Budget. Thanks.

Howdens with quartz worktop, 5 zone induction, larder unit, built in fridge/freezer, dw, double oven extractor . Incl fitting, plumbing, plastering and electrics was £10k. Really happy with it.

Oh and a solid wood breakfast bar too. Medium sized kitchen.

Being a nosy fucker, I really want to see some of these £40k+ kitchens

I’ll post it when it’s done... but honestly, I’m now wondering if I’m mad!

Going through showrooms, I can definitely see how much nicer the 40k+ kitchens are over my DIY one. A bit like the £500 shoes or 100k cars. I'm not sure if the expense is necessarily that visible in photos but the difference in person is vast.

YeahYeah not mad at all, I would LOVE an amazing kitchen! It's the main room you want the wow factor in I reckon. My current one cost £12k and I love it, if I had a £40k< one, I would eat, drink, socialise and most probably sleep in it

Totally depends. I spent £1K on a fridge freezer before I started.

However I’m pretty sure without that included I’ve come in around £10K, that’s with Bosch and neff built in appliances, including microwave and 5 burner gas hob, 16 units from diy kitchens, lvt flooring, composite sink, pop up sockets, waste disposal, new lighting, boiling tap and pull out everything. I shopped RUTHLESSLY and didn’t buy thinks in a package from one place.

I only compromised on laminate worktops not quartz as I have just moved abd have 3 bathrooms to do. Quartz from diy would have been about £2k more fitted. I can do that later on.

Taking down a wall and putting in 2 rsj’s was £3k I haven’t included there.

18k for oak units, 6k for marble tops, 6k for appliances, lighting, flooring, sockets & sundry add-ons not included.

40k- Harvey Jones

4K small utility from Benchmarx, incl £1500 worktop

8k - 2x3m discounted from Wickes

11k- 4m x 2m , Wickes

17k - 5m x3m with island, Wickes.

I think with kitchen companies it really depends on the actual kitchen installer. We lucked out with a fantastic guy from Wickes.

£47k 7m x 4m with corian Island - local independent bespoke.

We've just finished building a 6x6m kitchen diner. Kitchen (large island, 3 tall larder units and then a back wall of units), including integrated appliances cost 10k including fitting. This was from wickes. We haggled and got a really good deal. Electrics and plumbing was extra but don't know what it cost for the kitchen specifically as they were also doing other work for us.

About 18k including a new range and a lot more plastering (whole new ceiling) than we planned for. But it's a big room with 12 meters of work surface (which we did cheap). No islands, no extraction, no major redesign.

Our new Howdens kitchen is nearly finished and total spend will be about £22k. Of that, the cabinets were about £6k, flooring about £3k, appliances plus sink/taps/worktops about £4k and the rest labour - we live in a very expensive area and needed a lot of work doing to plumbing/electrics, specialist plastering and bespoke fitting because we live in an awkward shape old house.

Approx £52k incl floor/fireplace & appliances

Ours will hopefully come in just under £20K. The kitchen is £8K from Benchmarx and the floor (all of downstairs) is about £6. Then it's fitting and appliances bringing it up to £20K.

Apparently 40k. But it was in when we purchased the house. It’s a Harvey Jones kitchen with Neff appliances and a lot of granite. I wanted to replace one of the cupboards for a different type of cupboard and they quoted £500!

About £12000 including
quartz work tops,
integrated Neff appliances( 2 single hide and slide ovens, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and hob)
extractor,
4in1 boiling water tap,
composite sink,
lights,
porcelain tiles on the floor,
glass splash back,
plastering,
fitting,
electrics/plumbing done
and a kitchen aid.

That is very good value notso did you replace the units also, and if so where from?

@tomboytown which kitchen did you go for?

It’s a local independent
In the NW if that’s any good?
