A fully fitted kitchen is not a simple building job by any means, and it does often require the work of several types of tradesman, including plasterers, plumbers, flooring contractors and carpenters.

That said, there are many building companies who provide flat rates for fully kitted kitchens and they can do this because they have all of the relevant contractors in their team, so they can complete the job from start to finish. Unfortunately costs of the project can vary considerably, and this will depend on the type of kitchen units and equipment needed to be installed, the size of the kitchen and of course the labour. Some small kitchens have less than 10 units, whilst others can have 30+, so you can see that it’s important to know exactly what you want when you start asking for quotes on this type of building work. So it’s best to always start with a plan.
