How Much Does a Medium Kitchen Cost to Install?

A medium kitchen of 13–20 units typically costs £1,800 to £3,200 to install in the UK, depending on complexity, kitchen type and location. This is for labour only and excludes kitchen units, worktops and appliances.

What Is a Medium Kitchen?

A medium kitchen is typically defined as one with 13–20 units (base and wall combined). This usually covers a kitchen of around 12–18 square metres or an L-shaped or galley kitchen in a 3–4 bedroom property.

What Affects the Installation Cost

  • Number of units and their complexity (corner units, tall housing, island)
  • Worktop type — laminate is cut on site; stone worktops require a separate template and fitting visit
  • Appliance integration — integrated appliances take longer to fit than freestanding
  • Old kitchen removal — typically adds £200–£400 to the total

How to Get an Accurate Price

The only reliable way to get an accurate installation price is to have a professional pre-installation survey. A surveyor will assess your kitchen plan, the room conditions and the full scope of work before providing a fixed quote.

Related Questions

Usually yes, for a laminate or wood worktop cut on site. Stone worktops require a separate template visit and fitting appointment, which may be quoted separately.

A medium kitchen of 13–20 units typically takes 4–6 days for a professional kitchen fitter.

Not always — check whether your quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT, particularly if the fitter is not VAT registered.
