How much does a new kitchen cost in Swansea?
To help you plan, we show what a new kitchen typically costs in Swansea instead of holding figures back for a sales call. The range is £7,400–£20,000 with VAT, using rates in Wales that are about 8% below the national guide. A free survey then fixes your actual price.
| Type of job | What it usually involves | Guide in Swansea |
|---|---|---|
| Value kitchen | Standard units and laminate worktops in a small or medium room, keeping the existing layout. | £4,600–£8,300 |
| Mid-range kitchen | Better units, some layout changes, built-in appliances and a choice of worktops. | £8,300–£18,500 |
| Premium kitchen | High-end units, stone worktops, an island and premium appliances in a larger room. | £18,500–£37,000 |
Your price depends mostly on:
- Unit range, door finish and worktop material
- Moving the sink, hob or other services to a new position

What are homes like around Swansea?
Swansea's Victorian terraces climb its hillsides, its centre was largely rebuilt after wartime bombing, and Neath and Port Talbot have industrial terraces and post-war estates. Gower villages have stone cottages, and Pennant sandstone is common in older walls. Newer estates have grown on the edges of the main towns.
Hillside terraces often need repointing, rendering, roof repairs and window replacement, and loft conversions can work well. Gower stone cottages call for lime-based repairs, and estate homes commonly take extensions and driveways.
So when we survey a Swansea property for a new kitchen, the first step is working out how it was built and what has been changed since.
Do you need permission in Swansea?
Because Swansea falls under Wales's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
Internal improvements do not need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
Building Regulations in Wales cover notifiable electrical work, drainage, ventilation and any structural change.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
Free site survey
A free survey comes first. It gives us what we need to price a new kitchen properly, including dimensions, existing materials and access for deliveries, and gives you the chance to ask anything you like.
Your fixed price
After the survey we send a quote for a new kitchen that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Dates and permissions
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Swansea property.
Build and hand over
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.
Why homeowners choose us
Common questions
Can I stay at home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.
Which worktop material should I choose?
Laminate worktops are the most affordable and come in many stone and wood effects, though they can be damaged by hot pans. Solid wood is warm and repairable but needs regular oiling. Quartz is very hard-wearing, stain-resistant and needs little maintenance, but it costs more and is made to template after the units are fitted. We bring samples and explain the care each one needs.
How long does it take to fit a kitchen?
Fitting a kitchen typically takes one to three weeks on site, depending on its size and how much the layout changes. Strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, and any plastering come first, then units, worktops, appliances and tiling. Stone worktops are templated once the base units are in and usually fitted a week or two later. We give you a day-by-day plan before we start.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
You are usually without a working kitchen for one to two weeks, from strip-out until the sink and hob are reconnected. If stone worktops are being made to template, we can fit a temporary worktop so you can use the sink while you wait. Many people set up a microwave, kettle and fridge in another room. We plan the order of work to keep this period as short as possible.
Which postcodes in Swansea do you cover?
We cover SA1, SA2 and SA5, along with the rest of West Glamorgan. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
