A bespoke kitchen is made for your room and the way you live, so there is no single price list. What you pay depends on a handful of clear choices. In this guide we explain what drives the cost of a bespoke kitchen in London, so you can plan a realistic budget before you speak to anyone.
£5,000 – £50,000 a rough guide.
What affects the cost of a bespoke kitchen
- Size and layout – the number of cabinets, tall units and an island all add to the build.
- Door style – flat or handleless doors are usually the simplest; shaker doors add detail; in-frame kitchens take the most workshop time.
- Materials – Egger MFC carcasses and fronts are hard-wearing and good value, painted MDF gives a smooth hand-finished look, and real oak or walnut veneer and solid timber sit at the top end.
- Paint finish – a hand-painted finish in any colour takes more time than a factory board finish.
- Hardware – soft-close drawers and hinges from makers such as Blum and Grass, plus internal organisers, pull-outs and larder systems.
- Worktops – laminate, solid wood, quartz and natural stone vary widely in price.
- Appliances – integrated appliances are usually budgeted separately.
- Fitting and building work – moving plumbing or electrics, plastering and flooring all add to the total.
Bespoke vs off-the-shelf kitchens
A high-street kitchen comes in fixed cabinet sizes, so fillers and gaps make up the difference. A bespoke kitchen is made to the millimetre, uses the full height of the room and can be built around awkward walls, sloping ceilings and chimney breasts. You also deal with one team from design to fitting.
How to get the most from your budget
- Spend on what you touch every day: drawers, hinges and worktops.
- Mix finishes: painted doors with Egger MFC carcasses, or veneer on an island only.
- Keep plumbing where it is if you can.
- Plan storage properly so you need fewer cabinets.
