Yes, you can get a very good idea of the cost of a German kitchen using our price estimator above.

It gives an accurate guide based on real project data, helping you see how different layouts, finishes, and appliance levels affect your overall budget before you even book a design consultation.

Kitchen size is usually based on the number of units rather than the physical room dimensions.

As a general rule, a small kitchen includes around ten units, a medium kitchen around fifteen, and a large kitchen about twenty or more.

These figures help provide a fair price estimate when comparing quotes or using our kitchen price estimator.

No, not if you choose the right company. Aftercare should be part of the service and available for the lifetime of your kitchen. Most German manufacturers include a five-year warranty as standard, while appliances usually range from one to five years depending on the brand.

Be cautious of anyone claiming a twenty-five-year warranty on kitchen furniture, as the small print often makes it impossible to claim.

Your kitchen project is secured by a three-stage payment schedule: 33 percent as a sales deposit, 33 percent when your kitchen is placed into manufacture, and the final 34 percent one week before delivery.

Once that final payment is made and your kitchen has arrived at our warehouse, ownership passes to you.

This means that even if your project is delayed for any reason, your kitchen legally belongs to you and will remain safely stored until you are ready for delivery.

We don’t currently offer finance or third-party credit plans. That’s a conscious decision—we’ve found that most of our clients prefer to pay using their own funds or through personal finance arrangements.

By not offering in-house finance, we avoid interest markups, third-party fees, and keep our pricing clean and straightforward.

You can keep costs within budget by choosing durable laminate worktops, entry-level appliances from trusted brands, reduce the amount of drawers and remove pull-out storage options.

Also choosing MFC door finishes instead of painted ones can reduce costs significantly and give the same look with a tougher, longer-lasting surface.

Your designer will discuss this early on and confirm whether you have your own fitter or prefer a complete supply-and-fit service.

The cost of installation depends on whether your kitchen is supplied on a dry-fit or full installation basis, both of which should be clearly stated in your contract. A dry fit covers furniture installation only, while a full service includes plumbing and electrical connections to existing supplies.

A typical fitted kitchen price covers cabinets, plinths, décor panels, worktops, sinks & tap, appliances, and delivery, with installation offered as an optional extra.

All items should be clearly itemised on your quote, with the VAT amount shown. 

Supply-and-fit projects will usually include appropriate management for the size and complexity of the job.

Kitchen prices differ because materials, build quality, design expertise, and installation standards vary widely.

Some companies will also include full project management and aftercare while others quote only for supply only, making direct comparisons difficult.

Appliances are usually included in your kitchen design unless you prefer to supply your own.

It’s definitely worth taking your designer’s advice on brands as they work closely with manufacturers and can recommend the most reliable options from real experience, and ordering everything together often saves money and prevents problems later if appliance issues arise.

If you are using the same number of units but configuring them as an island, the extra cost is usually between £1,500 and £3,500 to cover additional décor panels, worktop wastage from using a full slab, and the labour involved in routing power or plumbing to the island.

Certain finishes can raise the cost of a kitchen quite noticeably. Glass doors or splashbacks, real wood instead of MFC, and worktops made from Quartz or Dekton all sit at the higher end of the price scale.

Painted finishes also tend to cost more than melamine-faced versions, even though melamine is often the tougher, more practical option for everyday use.

Hidden costs can sometimes arise when removing an old kitchen or preparing the space for installation. These might include repairing walls or floors, adding new electrical or plumbing supplies, or running services to an island. It’s best to discuss any potential extras with your designer early on so they can be allowed for as a sensible contingency in your budget.

Yes and no. Choosing entry-level options from a quality brand can save money without shortening the life of your kitchen but buying from inferior brands that only look similar on the surface often costs more over time due to poor materials and shorter lifespans.

Always do your research before committing.

It depends on the brand you choose. Ultra-premium names like Poggenpohl, Bulthaup, and Siematic can cost several times more than a mass-produced kitchen, but brands such as Schüller and Nobilia offer true German engineering for only around 10 to 20 percent more than a typical British kitchen.

In return, you get precision build quality and a lifespan that’s often two to three times longer.

Relocating plumbing can usually be acheived without too much cost if it can be routed behind or beneath your units, however, the cost can reach £500-£1,000 or more when pipes are moved further or if services needs to go into the floor.

Removing or relocating a wall can start from around £1,250-£1,750 for non-structural walls and rise significantly if the wall is load-bearing and needs steel beams, structural engineer input and additional finishing.

Installing a German kitchen can increase the value of your home by around 3 to 6 percent, largely thanks to its longer lifespan and superior build quality.

Beyond the numbers, an expertly designed German kitchen improves the way you live every day and is a sound investment when it comes to adding value to your property.

In the last five years — with pandemics, wars, fuel prices rocketing and economies tanking — we’ve seen material and labour costs rise by roughly 25 to 35 percent across the construction and renovation industry. In fact, a UK index found building material prices up 37 % since 2020.

Interestingly, as importers of German kitchens we’ve found that prices from our German manufacturers have remained far more stable, making them even more competitive than many British alternatives.

Appliance prices are usually very competitive when bought through your kitchen supplier, and in many cases you may qualify for a larger furniture discount when you order everything together.

It also makes delivery and installation far simpler, with one company coordinating the entire process. If any issues arise later, your kitchen company can work directly with the manufacturer to get them resolved quickly and without stress.

Yes, most kitchen companies use specialist fabricators who handle the full process, including templating, manufacturing, and installation. The cost is based on your kitchen design and will include any sink, hob, or tap cut-outs shown on your plan. If you add extras such as upstands, socket cut-outs, or additional pieces later, these are usually charged separately.

Often yes — because independent kitchen suppliers frequently have lower overheads, offer more flexible pricing, and pass on trade-level discounts. For example, one MoneysavingExpert forum user noted:

“A good independent will usually be cheaper and better than Wren or Magnet” MoneySavingExpert Forum

 

It depends on the materials you choose.

Bespoke laminate worktops are surprisingly affordable when bought with your kitchen furniture, while solid surface options such as quartz can cost almost as much as the cabinets themselves.

As a rough guide, an average kitchen with solid surface worktops and quality appliances breaks down to around 40 percent furniture, 30 percent worktops, and 30 percent appliances.
