£950 to remove a Kitchen in its entirety - is this a good quote?

[themummyway]

Includes removal and disposal of:

• Tiles
• Double oven
• Worktops
• Kitchen Carcass

It's an old kitchen. 20+ years old

how many people are needed and how long will it take them

and where in the UK are you?

They've said 3-4 people and potentially 2 days max depending on how long it takes to get the tiles off

What state is the room left in afterwards?

No.

Crowbar & screwdriver and crack on with it yourself. You'll need to pay a gas safe plumber to disconnect any gas appliances but a grand to pull out the carcasses is daft!

We are seeking ours 9 years old for £500. It's a posh kitchen and includes double oven, dish washer, sink, gas hob. The buyers are removing it and paying me. It would cost us more than that to get a skip and remove the kitchen. Maybe someone would want your kitchen for free or a small sum? For a garage or a utility room for example if it's not very pretty. EBay? Local Facebook group?

Then that works out at £125 per person per day. I'd say that was reasonable.

However, I suspect it will end up being 2 people for one day.

We are selling....

To remove it? I’ll come and do it for £600.

@catbellz this price includes disposal too.
It's an old kitchen and the tiles seem rock solid.

I really cba with doing it myself.

Keen to know what a good price would be then?

Removal and dispoal

Its reasonable - as per what NotMuchSmug said. Although it will be less than £125 per person per day since there will also be disposal costs presumably

I think its a bit tight to expect to pay less

And ask to see their licence for disposing of stuff othewise they could fly tip and you would be liable

It'd still be a no from me, but our tip is v close by so a couple of tip runs would not be a problem.

We have just had our kitchen removed. It took our two builders half a day. They stacked in neatly in the garage and we were then able to sell it for £1000. 3-4 guys chucking it in a skip should be able to remove it in a morning (plus skip costs).

My kitchen was removed back to bare shell in half a day by 1 person, then dh flattened the carcasses and skipped them, took a couple of hours. It included removal of tiles, all plaster plus floor tiles. So I’d say they are ripping you off!!!

Thanks everyone - I thought it seemed a bit steep!

If you decide to diy check your tips - ours only allows one bag of rumble (eg tiles) per trip while the next one over charges £20 a bag. You can only book one slot a fortnight at both at the moment

Is it a massive kitchen? 4 blokes seems overkill and almost a grand to just rip out a kitchen is a lot!! And I’m in London

Too much. It would take two people one day I'd think. You can do much of it yourself.

Taking off tiles is one of the easiest jobs ever.
I literally ripped off my whole myself. You will be surprised how easy they fall off.
I recommend taking off tiles yourself.
The cost of these basic tasks require literally zero skills.
Take out the cupboards yourself too.

Me plus dh and 2 teenage dc did ours in half a day (not including disposal, we are reusing it in the barn for storage).

Is any of it resalable or is it all for the tip?
A normal skip is 300 pounds but you can sell used cabinets for more.
Any electrics or gas work needed to disconnect?
How big is the kitchen?
What access is there, eg parking on the drive, double doors straight into the kitchen, or 3rd floor flat round a corner surrounded by gardens with parking restrictions.
What area of the country?
Are you using a reputable firm or an "I'll have a go at anything" guy and his mate.
Ultimately you get 2 quotes and either pick what you feel happy with, go for now quotes, or DIY.
