How much to expect for new kitchen and utility

Hi,
We're redoing our very out of date kitchen and converting part of our garage into a utility room.
We've been speaking to Howdens, no mention of price yet, but our builder keeps telling us not to worry he'll help us negotiate a good deal.
We also approached Magnet to get a comparative quote for similar specs. They've come back really quickly with a price - seems to have forgotten about the utility and is just quoting for the kitchen - and I'm quite stunned.
Excluding worktops, so just cabinets the quote pre discount was £54k!! But they've given us a 50% discount (apparently) so it's "only" £27k. No worktops, appliances, flooring in that. Surely that's not what they charge? If it included the utility and worktops I'd be more believing of the discounted price.
Is this really what they're charging now and if so, how much were you able to discount by?
As a reference, this is for their Ludlow range.
Now dreading to think what Howdens are going to quote... :(

We paid £6k at DIY kitchen (without appliances and counters). Granite tops were £2800 and appliances were £1300. Fitting was £2k - so just a smidge over £11k for a very similar shape to you and utility
