Kitchen Fitter Cost

[Notmyfirsttimeinthismadhouse]

I have a tiny 2.5 m x 2.5 m galley kitchen that needs replacing.

We are planning on using DIY kitchens. The kitchen, appliances & laminate are coming in at around £4k (basic white gloss handleless, going a little fancy on sink and tap, integrated fridge/washing machine).

We've been trying to obtain a fitter to:-

Remove the old kitchen
Put down new flooring
Install the kitchen
Install worktop
Paint/plastering
Elec/gas/plumbing

Given the size and layout of our kitchen we are quite limited with what we can do so the sink is only moving slightly further left. The hob/oven slightly to the right. Washing machine will remain in the same place and the fridge freezer placement will mean a plug socket needs moving to the right.

We are only replacing the floor up to the units so about 3 lengths of whatever LVT we buy.

Boiler isn't being boxed

We are having a laminate splashback on both walls.

We are receiving quotes of between £5-£10k for the above with 10-14 day timescale. This seems a lot to me but just i'm wondering what the MN concensus is? We're in Surrey.

Just cost us £6000 to have ours fitted. That included ripping out and disposal of the old kitchen, capping off the gas, boarding and plastering the ceiling, moving the stop cock, full kitchen rewire, fitting the units and all appliances, lighting, flooring, and painting. We had quartz worktops so that was separate.

@AutumnTimeForCosy24 we have stanbury mussel. I do like it bit wish we had stretched to the Norton solid wood as I think it will be hard to repaint the stanbury in the future as it's such a smooth, almost plastic like finish. It's pretty solid so far but has only been in a few months. Good luck with yours, our kitchen was from the 1980's and dropping to bits so our new one has transformed our space!
