The number and type of cabinets matter more than room size alone. Drawer units, tall housings, bespoke alterations and decorative details can change the total. Choosing flat pack or assembled supply also affects the cost.
When comparing quotes, check that they include the same components and use the same VAT basis. Allow separately for delivery, painting, worktops, appliances and fitting wherever these are excluded.
