How much does a new fitted kitchen cost in Nottingham? (2026)

Typical kitchen costs

For a fully fitted kitchen in Nottingham, most homeowners spend £8,000–£18,000 all-in — units, worktops, appliances, fitting and trades. A basic kitchen in a smaller home can start around £6,000, while high-end or bespoke kitchens climb to £25,000+.

It helps to split the job in two. The fitting (labour only) is typically £1,700–£3,000 for a standard kitchen — Nottingham fitter day rates run roughly £200–£300, and some price per unit at around £100–£150 a cabinet. The units, worktops and appliances are the bulk of the spend and where the £6k-versus-£25k gap really opens up.

What changes the price most

Worktop choice: laminate is cheap, while quartz, granite and solid surface cost considerably more both to buy and to template and fit.

Moving the plumbing, gas or layout — relocating the sink or hob adds labour and brings in extra trades. A kitchen almost always needs an electrician (around £250–£350/day) and often a plumber (£180–£300/day), and integrated or high-end appliances add thousands.

Older Nottingham properties often need fresh plaster or rewiring once the old units come off, so factor a little contingency for what's behind them.

How to keep the cost down

Keep appliances and the sink roughly where they are to minimise plumbing and electrical work, order units early to avoid paying for idle fitter days, and mix a mid-range unit range with one statement worktop for a high-end look for less.
