Cost of a complete kitchen refurbishment
The cost of a kitchen refurbishment can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials chosen, the extent of the work needed, and your location. Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you understand what to expect:
Basic Kitchen Refurbishment: £5,000 – £10,000

- Painting: Fresh paint for walls and ceilings to update the look of the kitchen.
- Appliance Replacement: Swapping out old appliances for standard, energy-efficient models.
- Cabinet Refresh: Refacing or repainting existing cabinets rather than replacing them.
- Lighting: Basic lighting updates, such as installing new fixtures or LED bulbs.
Mid-Range Kitchen Refurbishment: £10,000 – £20,000

- Custom Cabinets: Bespoke cabinetry designed to your exact specifications.
- Premium Countertops: Installing luxurious countertops made from materials such as marble, high-end quartz, or exotic stones.
- Top-Tier Appliances: High-end, professional-grade appliances that offer advanced features and exceptional performance.

Additional Costs to Consider
- Plumbing and Electrical Work: Upgrading or moving plumbing and electrical systems can add to the overall cost.
- Labour Costs: Skilled tradespeople such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and tilers will add to the expense.
- Permits and Regulations: Depending on the scope of the project, you may need permits which can also incur costs.
- Design Services: Hiring a kitchen designer to plan and visualise the new layout and design can be an additional expense.
- Contingency Budget: It’s wise to allocate an extra 10-20% of your budget for unexpected costs or changes during the refurbishment process.
How to Budget for Your Kitchen Refurbishment
- Get Multiple Quotes: Obtain detailed quotes from several kitchen refurbishers near you to compare costs and services.
- Prioritise Your Needs: Decide which elements of your kitchen are most important to you and allocate your budget accordingly.
- Plan for Quality: Invest in quality materials and workmanship to ensure your kitchen stands the test of time and adds value to your home.
- Consider Phasing the Project: If your budget is limited, consider completing the refurbishment in phases, prioritising the most critical updates first.
By understanding the different levels of refurbishment and their associated costs, you can make informed decisions that align with your budget and vision for your new kitchen.
What kinds of tradespeople do I need for a kitchen refurbishment?
A successful kitchen refurbishment typically involves a team of skilled tradespeople, including:
- Kitchen Specialist: To help plan the layout and aesthetics of your new kitchen.
- Carpenters: For cabinet and countertop installation.
- Electricians: To handle all electrical work, including lighting and appliance installation.
- Plumbers: For installing sinks, faucets, and any other plumbing fixtures.
- Tilers: For flooring and backsplash installation.
- Painters and Decorators: To finish walls and ceilings.
Luckily, if you hire a company that specialises in kitchen refurbishments, you won’t have to hire each of these tradespeople separately. They will likely provide a team of people to complete all the work seamlessly.
Other kitchen refurbishment FAQs
Do I need a permit for a kitchen refurbishment?
Depending on the extent of the work, you may need a permit for electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. Check with your local council for specific requirements.
How long does a kitchen refurbishment take?
A full kitchen refurbishment can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and the availability of materials and tradespeople.
Can I live in my house during a kitchen refurbishment?
Yes, but it may be inconvenient. You might need to set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in your home while the work is being done.

Despite the competitive pricing, the lack of professionalism makes their services impossible to recommend. For the first appointment (11am-1pm), they texted after 12pm to say they couldn't arrive before 1pm. For the rescheduled appointment, they did not show up. This kind of unreliability is deeply frustrating, especially when customers plan their day around appointments.

Remus and Ionut at R&J did an absolutely fantastic job of renovating our bathroom, kitchen, hallway, landing and stairs. I had a very exact idea and plan of what I wanted and Remus brought it to life, making sure every detail was correct and finished to the highest standard. We hired R&J as Remus has lots of great examples of work he had done before, was very keen to talk over the job and was competitively priced. Remus was great to work with and I would recommend R&J to anyone.

Excellent, professional Mark & Jay did an excellent job, from first meeting, discussing our requirements, to 3d design drawings, to choosing the right kitchen & fittings. The time frame did run over agreed time, but the end result was worth it. They actually added more character to our kitchen, with hidden extras, i . e tray shelf, bespoke heating cupboard with double doors. They respected our property, as we just had new carpets, they removed their shoes, we had no issue giving them a key to come and go.
