Custom kitchen
prices.

We recorded 74 “supply and fitting of a kitchen” lines in 37 of our quotes, drawn up between 2024 and 2026 for houses and apartments in the two Savoie départements. Where the same project had several versions of a quote, we kept only one value. Amounts are excl. VAT and rounded. The line combines the units, the worktop, the appliances and the fitting: 35 projects out of 37 mention the appliances explicitly.

The median value is €15,000 excl. VAT. From one band to another, the gap comes from the units, the worktop and the appliances, detailed below. At the very top, on a single project, the two versions with a stone worktop were priced from €30,000 excl. VAT: these kitchens fit in no range and are priced from plans.

The fitted price covers the kitchen itself. Around it, a renovation involves other trades, which our quotes price on separate lines. The gaps between two quotes often come from there: one includes them, the other forgets them.

The prices for floor tiling, wall tiling and self-levelling screed are those of our guide to the price of laying tiles per m² and our guide to floor coverings, taken from the same quotes.

On the electrical side, a kitchen of more than 4 m² must have at least six sockets, four of them above the worktop, as well as a dedicated 32 A circuit for the hob; the oven and the dishwasher each have their own dedicated circuit (standard NF C 15-100). Where they are missing, creating them is priced with the electrical package of the renovation.

The units. Range of fronts and carcasses, length of run, presence of an island: this is the first item in the budget. When the choice arises, we price several versions side by side so the difference can be read in euros.

The worktop. On a single project, going from a standard laminate to a compact laminate added about €1,300 excl. VAT. Stone changes the scale, as seen above.

The appliances. They are included in almost all our lines. When a quote leaves the oven and hob outside the line, the line goes down without the real budget going down: compare on an equal scope. A gas cooker also requires bringing gas to the kitchen.

The location. Keeping the sink in the same place costs a few hundred euros in connections; moving the kitchen to another wall, up to €1,650 excl. VAT of plumbing, plus the electrics. Opening the kitchen onto the living room is another job, especially if the wall is load-bearing: our guide to opening a load-bearing wall details the steps.

Take the median values from our quotes. A kitchen supplied and fitted at €15,000, removal of the old one at €1,400 and connection of the sink and dishwasher at €400 give €16,800 excl. VAT, before flooring, wall tiles and paint.

With 10 m² of new floor tiles, at €100 to €115 excl. VAT per square metre, allow €1,000 to €1,150 excl. VAT more. If the kitchen changes wall, the plumbing line goes from €400 to a sum between €800 and €1,650 excl. VAT, and the electrical circuits have to be reworked.

In a home completed more than two years ago, kitchen units fall under the 10% rate if they are built in or incorporated into the structure and form part of a complete installation. Simple screw fixing is enough provided the elements are integrated into an overall layout. On the other hand, appliances remain at the 20% rate, even when built into the units, as do freestanding storage units placed on the floor. A partial installation, where the client finishes the fitting themselves, does not benefit from the reduced rate either.

On a kitchen at €15,000 excl. VAT, the invoice incl. VAT therefore falls between €16,500 (if everything were at 10%) and €18,000 (if everything were at 20%). It is the share of appliances that sets the slider: ask for it to appear on a separate line. The other conditions for the reduced rate are detailed in our guide to VAT on renovation work.

We design the kitchen at the same time as the rest of the project: layout, routing of services, sockets and lighting are decided before the first drill hole. Our custom timber kitchens are bought direct from the factory through our trading division, with no intermediary.

On site, it is our salaried craftsmen who do the work: our joiners fit the units, our plumbers connect the sink and dishwasher, our electricians create the circuits, our tilers lay the floor and splashback. One contract, one company responsible for the result.
