Our kitchen needs a total refurb, including repairing a damaged ceiling (due to water damage from bathroom above - now fixed), adding a sink into a downstairs toilet (the kitchen has an attached utility room (no door), then a downstairs loo behind a door), and complete re-decorating including tiling and flooring. We would like a tiled floor, the floor area of the kitchen and utility and loo is approx. 14m2 as a size guide.
I've searched and searched and can't get the price any lower than about £3400 - does this seem about right?
Here is a split of the items needed:
2x worktops 198
kitchen units 958
tiled floor 400
wall tiling 200
replace radiator with a smaller, including extending pipes 50
gas cooker disconnect/reconnect 100
gas hob 50
built under double oven 120
cooker hood 100
moving plumbing connections for washing machine 20
2nd sink for downstairs loo 80
taps for basin 30
plumbing in basin (parts) 25
lighting 100
repair ceiling 80
paint 50
plastering walls 60
additional electrics: sockets for fridge and freezer 60
Loo roll holder 5
Towel holder (for loo) 10
New light for loo 15
New light for utility area 20
Kitchen roll holder 10
Sealant 10
Tile adhesive 15
Tile grout 15
Screws to join units, and to secure wall units to wall 4
Bolts to join worktop corner join 10
extra power tools 465
inc SDS drill, worktop joining jig, router
extra hand tools 135
TOTAL 3395
(The kitchen units price includes a sink + tap for £150; and a corner carousel).
We have an old gas cooker and its past its best so I'd like to go for a replacement built-under double oven (can be gas or electric) and hob (gas). Since these items are quite pricey, and it seems that some people 're-do' their kitchens and replace appliances even when there's nothing wrong with them, I was going to scour eBay/etc to see if I can get a reasonable secondhand one for less. Obviously the gas items would need connecting properly, and there's always the risk of them not working right.
Do the prices seem about right? Or can you see any obvious areas I can save further money on the budget?
The kitchen units are for 600 cupboard, 1000 corner unit, 600 drawers, space for oven, 1000 cupboards; and 1900mm of wall units.[/b]
