If you're buying your fitted kitchen from a company such as Wickes, B&Q or Homebase, you will most likely be offered an installation service, and of course at an added cost. If you already have a price in your head, you may find that the price they give you is roughly twice as much as you envisioned, and that might not even include electrics and plumbing. This is because they'll give around 50% of this to the fitters and keep the other 50 percent for themselves as profit.
