Kitchen Cost · Ealing

How much does a new kitchen cost in Ealing?

The honest answer starts with what does not change: a kitchen is mostly supply — units, worktops, appliances — and supply does not regionalise. The same kitchen costs the same in Ealing as anywhere in the country. What is local is the labour that fits it, the tier the Ealing market expects, and how long the good trades take to book.

The four tiers — the same in Ealing as everywhere

A standard kitchen runs across four tiers, and the bands hold nationally because the units are catalogue-priced. Where your Ealing kitchen lands is a choice, not a postcode.

Self-managed IKEA, self-fit £8,000 – £10,000
Supplied & fitted Howdens · Magnet · Benchmarx £14,000 – £22,000
Premium Local bespoke · Second Nature / Burbidge £23,000 – £50,000
Luxe & bespoke deVOL · Tom Howley · Plain English £60,000+

BuildLens tier bands for a standard kitchen, 2026. The luxe rung is effectively uncapped — the named makers run to £150,000 and beyond. A kitchen involving a structural knock-through carries the steelwork and opening on top; that is the kitchen extension page.

What is actually local in Ealing

The units do not care where they are going, but the installation does: fitting labour runs at London rates, and on a supplied-and-fitted kitchen that labour — plus the strip-out, first-fix, levelling and tiling around it — is where the Ealing figure parts company with the national one. It is the minority of the total, which is why the headline moves less across the country than most cost guides imply.

Ealing runs mainstream-to-Premium — Howdens-tier supplied-and-fitted remains the volume choice, with Premium climbing in the conservation pockets and on the larger semi projects where the room justifies the step up.

The full ladder, with what each rung buys. The complete fit-out ladder — tiers, brands, the fixed stack underneath, and why bespoke is not the top rung — sits on the main kitchen cost page. This page is what Ealing adds to it.

Common questions about kitchen cost in Ealing

Do kitchens cost more in Ealing than elsewhere?
The units, no — a Howdens or a deVOL is catalogue-priced and costs the same in Ealing as anywhere. The installation, somewhat: fitting labour runs at London rates, and that labour is the part of the bill that is genuinely local. On a supplied-and-fitted kitchen it is the minority of the total, so the headline moves less than most guides imply.
What tier do Ealing kitchens usually land on?
Ealing runs mainstream-to-Premium — Howdens-tier supplied-and-fitted remains the volume choice, with Premium climbing in the conservation pockets and on the larger semi projects where the room justifies the step up.
What if my Ealing kitchen involves taking a wall down?
Then it is a kitchen extension in cost terms — the steel, the opening and the making-good sit on top of the tier bands above, and the build side of the project starts to dominate the number. The Ealing kitchen extension page carries the combined figure.
