Kitchens by James Alan can help you figure out how much a new kitchen costs.

You don’t have to figure out how much a new kitchen costs on your own – Kitchens by James Alan will help you create your dream new kitchen to suit your realistic budget. Here’s how.

Let’s be honest, it’s hard to know how much a new kitchen costs. Unless you’re a property developer or serial renovator, it’s likely been years since you last redesigned your kitchen – and that’s the way it should be.

A new kitchen is an investment after all, one that you’ll hopefully enjoy for many years to come.

But when it is time to makeover the room often referred to as the heart of the home, knowing what you can and can’t afford to do can be tricky.

It’s a problem that Kitchens by James Alan fully understands.

How much a new kitchen costs depends on the design you pick.

Working out how much a new kitchen costs

Figuring out how much a new kitchen costs will understandably be your first concern.

The thing is, the cost of a new kitchen is dependent on many factors, like the size of room, appliances and chosen styles.

But that’s why Kitchens by James Alan’s approach to budget will help to put your mind at ease.

They’ll be open and honest with you throughout the entire process of getting a new kitchen, from design to installation.

And most importantly and reassuringly, they are flexible when it comes to budgets for kitchens.

“We can supply a kitchen for £6000 say, or five times that. So budget is definitely important,” explains Alan Macaulay, owner and director of Kitchens by James Alan.

“But we work with people. We take the time to do various designs and options for them. Choosing a kitchen is a process, so we work together to get to a point where the design is exactly what a customer wants.”

It’s all about balancing cost with looks and functionality, to ensure you get a kitchen you love at a price that works for you.
