How Much Does a New Kitchen Cost in Harpenden? (2026 Price Guide)

A new kitchen is one of the biggest single investments most homeowners make in their property — and one of the hardest to budget for accurately, because the price gap between a basic refit and a fully specified German kitchen can be enormous. If you’re planning a kitchen renovation in Harpenden, here’s a realistic breakdown based on the kitchens we design and supply.

What drives the cost of a new kitchen

• British vs German cabinetry. German kitchens typically use higher-precision manufacturing and a wider range of finish options, which reflects in the price. British kitchens offer excellent quality at a more accessible entry point.
• Worktop material. Laminate and standard stone worktops sit at one end; the Cosentino ranges we supply — Dekton, Silestone, Sensa and Scalea — sit at the premium end, with pricing that reflects durability and design flexibility.
• Appliance package. Integrated appliances vary widely depending on spec level (single oven vs double, standard hob vs induction, and so on).
• Layout changes. A straight swap of units in the same footprint costs significantly less than moving plumbing, gas or structural walls to open up the space.
• Property type. Period properties in Harpenden often need additional groundwork to accommodate modern kitchen layouts and services.

Typical project price ranges (2026)

• Kitchen refresh (units + worktop, no structural change): from around £8,000
• Mid-range full kitchen (British cabinetry, integrated appliances, stone-effect worktop): typically from £12,000
• Premium German kitchen (full spec, Cosentino worktop, premium appliance package): from £20,000

These are general guide figures based on typical scope — bring rough room measurements or photos to your consultation (no need for perfect drawings) and we’ll give you an accurate, itemised quote from there.

CAD design — and how the fee works

Before committing to any spend, our CAD design service lets you see an exact mockup of your finished kitchen from every angle, with the ability to tweak layout, colours and finishes until you’re happy. There’s a design fee, which is refunded in full if you go on to purchase your kitchen from us — check current pricing when you book, as this is also subject to change.
