What Affects the Cost?

Kitchen fitting costs are influenced by several key factors. Project scale—whether you're refitting an existing space or building new—significantly impacts labour time and complexity. Material choices (budget vs premium units, worktops, flooring) can double or triple costs. Existing kitchen removal and disposal adds £500–£1,500. Structural issues, plumbing rerouting, electrical upgrades, and wall preparation all increase expenses. Folkestone's older property stock means many jobs involve addressing damp, uneven walls, or dated infrastructure. Layout changes and bespoke carpentry command premium rates.

Money-Saving Tips

Plan your design carefully before hire—changes mid-project inflate costs. Reuse existing appliances where possible. Phase the work: install essentials first, defer optional features. Maintain realistic timescales to avoid rush fees. Get multiple fixed-price quotes, not hourly estimates, for budget certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a 'full kitchen installation' quote?

Typically: removal of old kitchen, supply and fitting of units, worktop installation, splashback, and basic appliance connections. Electrics, plumbing upgrades, and flooring are usually quoted separately. Always clarify what's included before commissioning work.

How long does a kitchen refit take in Folkestone?

A standard 10–12-unit kitchen takes 5–10 working days. Complex projects with structural changes, significant plumbing/electrical work, or custom carpentry can extend to 2–3 weeks. Delays due to damp remediation or hidden issues are common in older Folkestone homes.

Do kitchen fitters supply units, or should I buy them myself?

Both models exist. Many fitters offer supply-and-fit packages with trade discounts. Others fit customer-supplied units (labour-only). Supply-and-fit often offers better value, warranty protection, and professional design input. Discuss this upfront.

What extra costs should I budget for?

Old kitchen disposal (£300–£800), plumbing/electrical upgrades (£500–£2,000), damp treatment or wall repair (£200–£1,500), flooring (£800–£3,000), and contingency (10% of total budget) for unforeseen issues.
