How much to install kitchen worktops?

davas · 27 Mar 2006

I'm fitting a new kitchen and was wondering how much you think it would cost to get a 90 degree joint fitted professionally using jig and router etc?

It may be worth my while paying for a pro to do rather than buying worktops twice after attempting it myself!

Thanks in advance

I got 2x3mtr worktops removed, hob removed, sink removed and all refitted with 2 new worktops for £80 before Xmas,
That should give you a good idea.
Best to phone a few joiners from the local paper for a rough quote i would say.

That's an incredible price sky, most worktop is £40 per 3m, and with a scribe router joint and two holes for sink and hob, I would have put an extra £100 on your price. I think you had a pretty good deal there.

well he didnt say what type of worktops did he!!!

Ive seen 3 mtr worktops in Selco for £19 quid a pop. and for a chippy to route a 90 degree join with a jig ....£40 quid sounds about right ......it would only take 30 mins.

Skybluescooby, That is an unbelievable price, for the work you had done I would have charged a days labour plus materials. Did he do a good job?

It was a good price indeed which is why i said , when can you get here.
I supplied the worktops myself, cost me £60 for the two, very good quality as well, 38mm thick.
He supplied the labour and new plumbing materials to plumb the new sink in, he also disconneted and refitted the gas hob.
He has done an excellent job and as a man of high standards i was pleased with the result.
Took him about 6 hours from start to finish with my help when needed.

Hi,

When i fitted my kitchen a couple of years ago i got a pro to do the worktops, the work was as follows:

Scribe worktops to walls
2 x 45 degree mitres glued and bolted
Sink cut out
4 ends finished.

Took 3 of them about an hour in all and cost £150.

I don't like the sound of those 45 degree joints. £150 for a joint is about the going rate.

I too am going to be paying for a joiner/kitchen fitter to cut and fit my work surface. I wondered if anyone could recommend anyone in the Guiseley, Leeds area?

Cheers,
