Quick Kitchen Cost Tips

Bite-sized ideas to save more every day.

Keep the sink and hob where they are

Leaving services in place avoids most plumbing and electrical work and can save £1,500–£5,000 on a typical kitchen.

Thinner quartz looks identical once fitted with a downstand and is typically 15–25% cheaper per metre.

Ask every fitter to split units, worktops, electrics, plumbing and making good so you can compare like for like.

Buying oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher together usually unlocks 10–15% off and a single delivery.

If the cabinets are sound, new doors, drawer fronts and handles cost a third of a full set of units.

Hidden pipework, uneven floors and damaged plaster are common once the old kitchen comes out. Keep 10% back.
