One of the most common questions we’re asked at Hubble Kitchens is, “How much does a premium kitchen actually cost?” It’s a fair question – after all, investing in a high-end kitchen is a major decision. But the honest answer is: it depends. The total cost of a luxury kitchen depends on several variables including design complexity, material choices, appliance selection, and installation requirements. That said, we can offer a realistic breakdown to help guide your planning.
Cabinetry and units (£15,000–£30,000+)
Cabinetry typically represents the biggest portion of your budget. With a German manufacturer like Leicht, you’re investing in top-tier materials, smooth soft-close mechanisms, long-lasting finishes, and sleek, modern detailing. Every component is engineered for performance and aesthetic consistency.
Customisation also impacts the cost – handleless doors, special finishes, or integrated lighting systems all add to the final figure. But they also contribute to a kitchen that looks and feels a world apart from flat-pack options.
Worktops (£3,000–£8,000)
Worktop choice plays a significant role in both the look and cost of your kitchen. Quartz and granite are popular for their beauty and durability, while marble sits at the top of the premium scale. Thickness, edge profile, and the size of your kitchen will affect pricing, but investing in the right surface is essential for long-term satisfaction.
Appliances (£5,000–£15,000)
High-end kitchens often feature premium appliances from brands like Siemens, Miele, NEFF, and BORA. From integrated ovens and induction hobs to built-in coffee machines and wine fridges, appliances play a major role in both design and performance. Smart features, energy efficiency, and aesthetics all factor into cost.
Installation (£3,000–£6,000 depending on design)
Expert installation ensures that your kitchen is fitted precisely and functions perfectly. This cost typically covers the fitting of the kitchen furniture – such as units, worktops, plinths, and panels – by professional installers.
However, it’s important to note that this figure does not include other essential works such as plumbing, electrics, plastering, flooring, or decoration. These services are usually costed separately and should be factored into your overall project budget. At Hubble Kitchens, we’ll help coordinate trusted local trades where needed to ensure a seamless end-to-end process.
Finishing touches
Handles, lighting, splashbacks, paintwork, and floor finishes might seem like small details, but they have a big visual and practical impact. Don’t overlook these when budgeting – they are what give your kitchen its final polish.
Total investment range: £35,000–£70,000+
This is a realistic range for a fully bespoke premium kitchen based on what our clients typically spend. Of course, the final premium kitchen cost figure depends on your choices, layout, and level of finish. But with the right approach, it’s possible to create a space that’s elegant, durable, and designed to serve you for decades.
