Price - relocate kitchen to a new room. How much would you think ?

[LemonSqueezy0]

I know this could be a wide price/cost range, but was hoping if any one had a rough idea of pricing, or advice of what to consider for wanting to move a kitchen from one room at the back of the house, to the front, where it can better look out onto the garden. At some point if love bifold doors as well, but again depends on price..

I would appreciate any advice, however basic you feel it might be, as this is all totally new to me and I have no points of reference to refer back to. The price would then Inform how much we could offer on the house, as the costs for these essential (to me) works would have to be incorporated/considered...

Thanks in advance, if anyone can help...

Double whatever you're thinking.
We were quoted £7k just to install a kitchen. I'd say £15k min, excluding the actual cost of the kitchen. More if in London or big city

Do you have water and drainage at the front of the property? If you dont then it will cost a hell of a lot more than you think! And may not even be possible.

Moving the water and drainage alone will be thousands. Putting things back to “normal” another few thousand THEN the moving of the actual kitchen. 20-30k I reckon

You will need utilities in the space where you want to move it to
ie water and drains
dependent on what you want a new kitchen alone is £££££
you could be looking at £50-£75 k if you’re in the south east
new kitchen plus appliances
First and second fixes for electric and utilities
bifolds - up to £6k for example
flooring
plastering
it would soon add up plus installing water pipes etc

Thanks for these replies, that's really helpful..

The new/proposed kitchen would be in an extension that currently has a wet room in it.. So I assume it has water and drainage.

I was quoted £3k to move the second bathroom to a different location in the property - just plumbing works. The job would not be so hard as I have old floorboards that could be easily lifted. Decided against it, but for other reasons.
I guess if you also want to bring the gas/boiler, would be a bit more expensive.

Do you have gas?

So you already have water.

Are you having gas in the kitchen?
Are you doing any building work?

If there’s already water/drains, and you’re having an electric or induction hob, and you aren’t knocking down any walls or anything, it might not be too bad.

It is the waste that is the big determiner for price but a wet room will have a waste. You can pipe water anywhere in the house. It is the drainage that needs to be considered carefully. There has to be a fall, water regs are 1:40 so a 1cm drop for every 40cm run of pipe. You will need to consider the current drain location and where you propose your sink and dishwasher to be.

Electrics will also need need to be beefed up for the hob/oven. My induction hob is hard wired in but my single oven is plugged in. Probably plastering, my plasterer charges £250 per day plus whatever supplies you need, same for my electrician, day rate of £250 plus parts so any sockets, light fixtures, fused spurs etc. You will need a lot of sockets both above the worktop and out of sight, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven, combi microwave and extractor.

Apart from that the cost of the kitchen, appliances, flooring, tiles/wall, sink, tap, this is where you could lose control of the budget.

We moved ours to a new room. There was a waste from the bathroom on the outside wall so that sorted plumbing and the electrics went on a separate circuit and the oven was an another slot on the fuse board. We insulated an internal wall and made the bay window into an opening door. Kitchen was second hand and total spend to date on the kitchen , fitting , appliances and work above was 12k end of 2023 in the SW.

I’ve just pain around £20k for a new kitchen with no work needed on water or plumbing, just a little electrical work. This included some appliances but not dishwasher, washer or dryer. It’s a fair sized kitchen but not as big as a dining kitchen. I live near Manchester if that helps.

My husband is a builder and we have also done a few renovation projects ourselves. I would say around £30k but that’s a v rough guess, there are alot of variables.

I've just spoken to an architect and builder about moving a kitchen (and a downstairs loo) and the architect suggested a drainage survey. I believe the drainage is the main thing to check, everything else is doable.
