Cost breakdown (mid-range kitchen)
What affects the price
- •Unit quality — flat-pack vs rigid vs bespoke is the biggest single driver.
- •Worktop material — laminate is cheap; quartz, granite and solid wood cost far more.
- •Moving plumbing or electrics for a new layout adds trade time and cost.
- •Appliances — integrated and premium brands add up quickly.
- •Knock-through or structural changes for an open-plan kitchen.
Regional price variation
Labour is the biggest regional swing. London and the South East typically run 20–30% above the national average, while the North of England, Scotland and Wales tend to sit 5–15% below it. Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — it is day rates that move the total. The ranges on this page assume South of England pricing unless stated.
