What changes the price

  • The size and layout of the room.
  • Moving plumbing, gas or electrics from where they are now.
  • Tiling, flooring and plastering.
  • The type of units, worktops and sanitaryware.
  • Removing and disposing of the old kitchen or bathroom.

How long it takes

A kitchen fit usually takes one to three weeks, and a bathroom five days to two weeks, after the units and fittings have arrived.

How to pay less

  • Keep the layout if you can: moving services is one of the biggest costs.
  • Buy fittings before the fitter starts so work is not delayed.
  • Ask whether tiling and decoration are included in the quote.

Before you hire

  • Ask whether the quote covers removal and disposal of the old kitchen or bathroom.
  • Ask who orders and checks the units and fittings, and who pays for any that arrive damaged.
  • Ask who is responsible for the plumbing and electrical work, and whether they are registered for it.
  • Ask for the fitting date to be confirmed only once everything has been delivered.

💬 Questions about kitchen and bathroom fitting costs

Do I buy the kitchen myself?

You can. Many people in London buy units themselves and pay a builder to fit them. Others let the builder supply everything. Say which you prefer when you request quotes.

How long does a kitchen refit take?

Usually 2 to 4 weeks once the units have arrived. A bathroom is often 1 to 2 weeks.

Who does the plumbing and electrics?

Builders usually bring in their own plumbers and electricians. Check that electrical work is certified.

Is the fitter's quote the whole cost of a new kitchen?

No. It is for fitting. The units, worktops and appliances are bought separately, and gas or electrical work may need other specialists.
