Kitchen Fitters Hammersmith, W6

Kitchen fitting costs typically depend on the size of the kitchen and the complexity of the installation. Larger or more involved projects  including plumbing, electrical work or structural changes  will sit toward the higher end. R3 Carpentry provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Kitchen fitters in London typically charge between £18 and £46 per hour, with an average of around £28. Day rates usually run from £200 to £350 depending on the tradesperson’s experience and the nature of the work. Specialist carpenters and joiners may charge more than a general handyman, but deliver a significantly higher standard of finish.

A commonly used rule of thumb is to budget 5–10% of your property’s value for a full kitchen renovation. For a typical West London home, this often means a total project budget of £8,000–£25,000 including units, appliances, worktops and fitting. R3 Carpentry can work with a range of budgets and will advise honestly on where to prioritise spend.

Cabinetry typically accounts for the largest share of a kitchen budget, followed by worktops and appliances. Installation labour is often the most underestimated cost. Choosing a specialist carpenter rather than a general handyman for the fitting ensures your units are hung perfectly level, your worktops are cut accurately, and the finish is one that will last.
