A new kitchen installation replaces your old units, worktops and appliances with a new layout fitted to your room, including the plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing needed to leave a complete, working kitchen.
Every house in Dereham is a little different, so we never price a new kitchen from a brochure. We look at the structure, access and existing finishes first, then put in writing a fixed figure for the scope we settle on. As a rough steer, homeowners in the East of England should budget £8,400–£23,000 including VAT, with work typically taking 1–3 weeks on site.

What should you budget for a new kitchen in Dereham?
Every figure below is a guide for a new kitchen in Dereham, inclusive of VAT. Regional pricing for the East of England works out about 5% above the national guide, and the overall span is £8,400–£23,000. The survey costs you nothing, and after it we commit to a firm price for your specification in writing.
| Type of job | What it usually involves | Guide in Dereham |
|---|---|---|
| Value kitchen | Standard units and laminate worktops in a small or medium room, keeping the existing layout. | £5,200–£9,400 |
| Mid-range kitchen | Better units, some layout changes, built-in appliances and a choice of worktops. | £9,400–£21,000 |
| Premium kitchen | High-end units, stone worktops, an island and premium appliances in a larger room. | £21,000–£42,000 |
The main things that change the figure:
- Length of units and the size of the room

- Moving the sink, hob or other services to a new position
- Tiling, flooring and any wall removal or replastering

Building in Dereham
Flint is everywhere in Norfolk, often combined with brick quoins and red or black-glazed pantile roofs. Norwich has Victorian terraces and interwar suburbs around its medieval centre, Norfolk reed thatch survives across the county, carrstone is used in the west, and coastal towns such as Great Yarmouth and Cromer have Victorian terraces and newer bungalows.
Flint walls often need lime repointing and careful repairs, and pantile roofs need matching tiles. Norwich terraces suit loft conversions and rear extensions, while coastal bungalows commonly take loft rooms, porches and new windows.
Whatever era your Dereham home dates from, we plan a new kitchen around how it is actually built rather than a one-size-fits-all specification.
Permissions for a new kitchen in Dereham
As Dereham is in England, read the following with that system of planning and building control in mind. We check what applies to your house with the council before you receive a quote.
Internal work such as a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, plastering or decorating does not need planning permission in England, unless the house is listed, when listed building consent may be needed even for internal changes.
Some internal work is covered by Building Regulations: new electrical circuits and work in bathrooms (Part P), new drainage, structural changes, extractor ventilation and any new window. Notifiable work is certified by a registered installer or by building control.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
A visit to your home
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Price and scope agreed
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Getting ready
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
The work itself
On site, the agreed plan is followed and any change is put in writing first. At completion we do a final clean, go through the snagging list with you and leave you with the relevant documents.
Why homeowners choose us
Frequently asked questions
Can I move my sink or cooker to a new position?
Moving the sink, hob or cooker is usually possible but adds cost, because waste pipes, water supplies, gas and electrics have to be rerouted. Sinks need waste pipes to fall towards the drain, so the position of the outside wall matters. Hobs may need a new circuit or gas run and a suitable extractor route. We check what is practical during the survey and price each change separately.
How long will a new kitchen take?
On a typical home, allow 1–3 weeks on site. Larger projects, older buildings and extra work found once things are opened up can extend that, while simpler jobs may be shorter. Your quote includes an estimate of time on site, and your point of contact keeps you updated on the programme as the work progresses.
How much does a new kitchen cost?
A mid-range kitchen of around 5–7 linear metres of units costs £8,400–£23,000 supplied and fitted. Value kitchens in smaller rooms cost less, and premium kitchens with stone worktops, an island and high-end appliances cost more. Moving the sink or hob, new electrics and replastering also affect the total. As a guide, allow roughly £1,000–£2,800 per linear metre of units plus fixed fitting costs. We confirm a fixed price after the survey.
Can you combine a new kitchen with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan a new kitchen alongside other work on your Dereham home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
What should I do to prepare for my kitchen fitting?
Before fitting starts, empty all cupboards and drawers, clear worktops and remove anything from the walls. Plan where you will make drinks and simple meals for a week or two, and agree where deliveries will be stored, as units take up a lot of space. Make sure we can access the stopcock, fuse board and gas meter. We confirm the delivery date and start date in advance.
