Whether you're supplying your own kitchen or need a design-and-supply service, we match you with fitters who can work with your brief.

Cost Factors

What Affects the Cost of a Kitchen Renovation?

Kitchen renovation costs vary enormously based on six key factors. Understanding them helps you get more accurate quotes and compare them fairly.

📐 Kitchen size

More cabinets, more worktop, more time. Galley kitchens under 6 linear metres cost significantly less than large L-shaped or U-shaped layouts. Always measure your linear meterage before requesting quotes.

🏭 Kitchen supplier

There's a huge range from flat-pack (IKEA, B&Q) to rigid-built mid-range (Howdens, Magnet) to bespoke (Roundhouse, deVOL). Fitter labour costs vary less than the units themselves — supply-only versus supply-and-fit changes the quote significantly.

🪨 Worktop material

Laminate worktops start from around £100 per linear metre installed; quartz and granite from £300–£500+; solid wood £200–£400. Worktop choice alone can add or save £2,000–£5,000 on a typical project.

⚡ Services work

Moving the sink, adding sockets or relocating a boiler adds cost. If your kitchen layout stays roughly the same, services costs are minimal. Major replanning of plumbing and electrics can add £1,500–£4,000 to the project.

🪟 Structural changes

Removing a wall, creating an opening or adding a roof light adds structural costs — potentially £2,000–£8,000 on top of the kitchen fit itself. Often done as part of a combined kitchen-extension project.

📍 Location

London and South East labour rates run 20–30% above national averages. Access constraints (e.g. no parking for a van, tight stairways, upper-floor kitchens) can also affect price. Always get local quotes — use our town-specific cost guide.

What Homeowners Say About Our Kitchen Fitters

★★★★★ 4.8 / 5

Used BestBuilders to find a fitter for our mid-range kitchen. Three quotes in under 24 hours, all from knowledgeable tradespeople. The fitter we chose was meticulous — every cabinet perfectly level, no gaps, beautiful finish.

We had a Howdens kitchen to fit and couldn't find a reliable fitter locally. BestBuilders matched us with someone who'd fitted dozens of Howdens kitchens. On time, within budget, absolutely delighted with the result.

★★★★☆

Got quotes for a bespoke kitchen installation — complex project with quartz worktops and a kitchen island. All three fitters were clearly experienced. Saved about £3,000 compared to what the kitchen showroom wanted to charge for fitting.

Common Questions

Kitchen Renovation FAQs

A straightforward kitchen fit — same layout, no structural changes — typically takes 1–2 weeks. A more complex project involving structural changes, moving services or a larger kitchen can take 2–4 weeks. Lead times for kitchen delivery can add 4–12 weeks to the overall programme if you're ordering from a manufacturer. Your fitter will discuss sequencing with you before work starts.
Both options work well — it depends on how much control you want over the design process. Supplying your own kitchen (e.g. from IKEA, Howdens or a bespoke manufacturer) means you control the specification and often reduces the overall cost, since you're not paying a fitter's markup on units. A supply-and-fit service from a kitchen specialist can be more convenient and may offer a single warranty on units and installation. Your matched fitters can work either way — describe your situation in the form.
In almost all cases, no — a like-for-like kitchen renovation does not require planning permission. If you're combining the renovation with a structural change (removing a wall, adding a roof light or building an extension), those structural works may require either Permitted Development notification or full planning permission. Building Regulations approval is required if you're moving gas appliances or making electrical changes beyond minor alterations.
Yes, though you'll be without a functioning kitchen for 1–2 weeks in most cases. Good fitters work in a way that maintains access to the rest of the house. Plan to use a microwave, slow cooker or toaster oven as a temporary kitchen. If the project involves structural work or a full re-plumb, there may be periods of 1–2 days where water is off — your fitter will give you notice. Some homeowners choose to take a short break to avoid the disruption.
Flat-pack units (IKEA, B&Q) are assembled on site and tend to be less expensive to buy, though they take longer to install. Rigid units (Howdens, Magnet, Symphony) arrive pre-assembled and are generally more durable, with better quality drawer runners and hinges. For a mid-range or premium kitchen, rigid units typically deliver better long-term value. Your fitter will advise on what suits your specification and budget.
Always get at least 3 quotes. Kitchen fitting costs can vary significantly for the same scope of work — comparing quotes helps you understand fair market pricing, assess each fitter's approach and spot anything unusual. BestBuilders provides up to 3 matched quotes from a single submission, so you can compare confidently without spending hours sourcing fitters yourself.
