if i bought said kitchen what would be a good price for install inc, gas hob connection and wiring in a cooker?

B&Q charge three times the price so when the fitters screw it up they can afford to send in another team to put it right and still have enough left over to defend themselves when you sue them in court.

Nah, 6-8k is cheap. ... me grandad was quoted around 4.5k to fit a bath!
Just a bath, not a full suite!

Fit it yourself. I've just done mine (ok it's not quite finished) but I had never tiled or fitted a kitchen before and I've done it. It's not that hard at all. You will need a plumber to do the gas hob (find one on the Gas Safe register) and it would probably be worth getting a sparky to do the electric oven - you can do it yourself but you will have to notify the council and they will charge to inspect it. Some electrictians can self certify the work, if it is just the oven then that will be cheaper.
