Kitchen Installation Cost by Size
The most significant factor affecting installation cost is kitchen size — specifically the number of units and the number of days required to fit them. As a general guide across Coventry and Warwickshire:
- Small kitchen (8–12 units): 3–4 days, typically £1,800–£2,800
- Medium kitchen (13–20 units): 4–6 days, typically £2,800–£4,200
- Large kitchen (21+ units): 6–10 days, typically £4,200–£7,500
What Affects the Final Price?
Beyond size, several factors push costs higher or lower. Complex corner units, tall larder units, and island installations all take additional time. German flat-pack brands such as IKEA require full on-site assembly, which typically adds one to two days compared to pre-assembled units from retailers such as Wren or Howdens.
Worktop type also matters. Laminate worktops can be cut and fitted directly; stone worktops (quartz, granite) require separate templating by a specialist, co-ordinated around the installation programme. Appliance count is a further variable — a kitchen with six integrated appliances takes meaningfully longer to fit than one with two.
Labour Rate
Install My Kitchen charges approximately £350 per day for kitchen installation labour in Coventry and Warwickshire. This rate covers the full installation service including all cabinet assembly, levelling, worktops, doors, drawers, handles, plinths, cornices and snagging. It does not include first or second-fix plumbing, electrical work or gas connections, which should be arranged with qualified tradespeople separately.
Why a Survey Gives You an Accurate Price
Online cost guides — including this one — can only give you a range. The only way to get a precise price for your specific kitchen, in your specific home, is through a pre-installation survey. Our survey costs £195 and is credited back in full when you confirm your installation date and pay your deposit. It typically pays for itself many times over in avoided surprises.

Yes. Flat-pack brands such as IKEA require full assembly on site, adding time and cost. Pre-assembled rigid units from Wren, Howdens or Magnet are faster to install at standard rates.
The survey fee of £195 is not refundable if you choose not to proceed. However, it is credited in full against your installation balance when you confirm your date and pay your deposit.
Our quotes are fixed and comprehensive for the agreed scope. Additional costs can arise if the room requires unforeseen remedial work — such as out-of-plumb walls requiring specialist scribing — which is why the survey is so important.
