Kitchen installation cost
London 2026 guide.
What it really costs to have a kitchen fitted in London — labour only if you've bought the kitchen, or supplied and fitted — from a contractor who installs Howdens, IKEA, Wren, Magnet and bespoke kitchens every week.
What kitchen installation
really costs in London.
Fitting a kitchen in London costs between £2,500 and £12,000+ in labour depending on size and complexity. That figure covers the strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, fitting the units, worktops, appliances, tiling, second fix and decoration — not just 'hanging the cabinets'. A typical medium kitchen with 12–16 units is £3,500–£6,500 + VAT to fit.
The cost drivers are the number of units, whether the layout is changing (moving the sink, hob or boiler is expensive), the worktop (laminate is fitted in a day, quartz and stone are templated and fitted by a specialist a week later), the amount of electrical work (new circuits, downlights, under-cabinet lighting), tiling, flooring and any plastering or wall removal.
