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.
Addresses across B1, B2, B3 and B4 fall within our coverage for a new kitchen, so if your home is in Birmingham we can arrange a survey on a day that works for you. We inspect the existing building, discuss materials and layout, and then price the agreed specification in writing. Expect a guide range of £7,800–£21,500 including VAT before that visit.

What should you budget for a new kitchen in Birmingham?
To help you plan, we show what a new kitchen typically costs in Birmingham instead of holding figures back for a sales call. The range is £7,800–£21,500 with VAT, using rates in the West Midlands that are about 2% below the national guide. A free survey then fixes your actual price.
| Type of job | What it usually involves | Guide in Birmingham |
|---|---|---|
| Value kitchen | Standard units and laminate worktops in a small or medium room, keeping the existing layout. | £4,900–£8,800 |
| Mid-range kitchen | Better units, some layout changes, built-in appliances and a choice of worktops. | £8,800–£19,500 |
| Premium kitchen | High-end units, stone worktops, an island and premium appliances in a larger room. | £19,500–£39,000 |
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
- Appliances, including built-in and premium models
- Tiling, flooring and any wall removal or replastering
What do you get?
- Measured survey and layout planning for your room
- Removal and disposal of the old kitchen
- Plumbing for sink, dishwasher and washing machine
- Gas connections by a suitably registered engineer where needed
- Units, worktops and appliances fitted, levelled and adjusted
- Making good, extractor ducting and a final clean
Local housing and a new kitchen
Red-brick Victorian and Edwardian terraces are common in the inner areas of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and the Black Country, ringed by large swathes of 1930s semis with bay windows and hipped roofs. You'll also find post-war council estates, some system-built blocks, Coventry's rebuilt centre and larger detached homes in Solihull and Sutton Coldfield.
An inland climate with regular winter frosts means freeze-thaw damage to soft brick and old mortar is a common reason for repointing and render repairs.
That variety is why a guide price for a new kitchen in Birmingham is only a starting point; the survey shows what your particular property needs.
Planning and building rules in Birmingham
For anyone in Birmingham, the relevant framework is England's. The summary below is general, so we always contact the council about your address before putting a price in writing.
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.
How does the job run?
Survey and measure
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.
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
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
The work itself
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.

Questions about a new kitchen in Birmingham
How much does a new kitchen cost?
A mid-range kitchen of around 5–7 linear metres of units costs £7,800–£21,500 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.
Do I need a new extractor fan?
A kitchen needs effective extraction to remove steam, cooking smells and grease, and building regulations set minimum rates for new or altered kitchens. A ducted extractor that vents outside is the most effective, while recirculating hoods filter the air and return it to the room. We check whether a duct can reach an outside wall and recommend a hood that suits your hob and room size.
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.
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
Do I need planning permission in Birmingham?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Birmingham is in England, so England's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
