What is included in a small Glasgow kitchen quote?
A small Glasgow kitchen quote includes cabinetry, worktop, sink and tap, splashback, one hob, one oven, extractor, integrated or freestanding fridge and freezer, labour, waste removal and any permit costs.
Nothing is left off the quote — the fixed price is the price. Sockets, USB points and under-cabinet lighting are quoted as options and cost £45–£120 per item fitted.
What is the cheapest way to install a small Glasgow kitchen?
The cheapest way to install a small Glasgow kitchen is to reuse the existing layout so no services move, choose flat-pack cabinetry with a laminate door, and select freestanding appliances that avoid custom door panels.
Keeping the sink, hob and consumer unit in place removes plumber and electrician days. A like-for-like small refit can come in below £12,000 at the true budget end, though cabinet warranties drop to 5 years.
How long does a small kitchen install take in Glasgow?
A small kitchen install in Glasgow takes 8–12 working days on site, plus 4–6 weeks of off-site cabinetry manufacture beforehand.
The compressed timeline means less household disruption. Most small tenement clients keep cooking with a microwave and kettle in a spare room for those two weeks.
What Glasgow tenement extras apply to a small kitchen?
Tenement extras on a small Glasgow kitchen include stair-carry labour, a Glasgow City Council skip or parking permit, factor consent for waste or vent changes and localised plaster repairs to older lath and plaster walls.
These extras total £150–£400 in most cases and are always itemised in the quote — they are not a surprise on day one. Ground and first-floor flats often avoid the stair-carry charge altogether.
How does a small kitchen quote payment work?
Payment on a small Glasgow kitchen follows the standard three-stage split — 25% deposit at sign-off, 50% on cabinetry delivery to site and 25% on snag close.
On a £12,000 project that is £3,000 deposit, £6,000 on delivery and £3,000 at snag close. Payment is direct to the fitter under the contract you sign with them.
