Kitchen costs

[MonkeyMoped]

By the number of builders' vans around here, EVERYONE seems to be getting building work done, so I'm hoping you'll. e able to give some helpful kitchen advice :-) I've seen the brilliant thread about kitchen ideas, but I'm wondering about costs.

Other than 'how long is a piece of string?' ;-) how much does is cost to get a kitchen done? I know that the quality, size, finish etc are all down to personal choice, but I'd like to get an idea of how much these sorts of things cost:

- ripping old kitchen out and taking it away

- turning a window into French doors or a nice sliding door

- installing new units and appliances

- underfloor heating

- installing spotlights

What other sort of costs should I consider? Obviously there's:

- new appliances

- units

- flooring

- lights

What else?

Roughly, what are people paying for the whole lot? I have ?20k in my head, but some money/house websites say it costs quite bit less. We're not looking for top spec, just a decent job that would last a good 15 years without dating or perishing.

Thanks a lot.
