Price ranges for Brighton homes, where flats, conversions and tight access shape almost every kitchen job.
Design Your Kitchen — Free →Brighton has one of the most distinctive housing profiles in the South East, and it affects kitchens more than in almost any other town we cover: a very high share of flats and converted houses, on narrow streets, with limited parking.

These are the same ranges our AI designer uses to build your estimate — there is no separate “website price”. Budget assumes shaker units with laminate worktops and entry-level integrated appliances; mid-range assumes quartz worktops and a Bosch/Neff appliance mix; premium assumes handleless units, quartz and premium appliances. Fitting is estimated at £1,200 plus £100 per square metre. Islands, pantries, boiling-water taps and similar extras are added on top.
Regency and Victorian houses across the city have been widely converted into flats, and the kitchen is often in a room never designed to be one — a former back bedroom, a lower-ground room, or a corner of a through-lounge. Ceiling heights and window positions can be generous, but the runs are short and the walls are rarely square. Compact, well-planned layouts do far more for these rooms than expensive doors.
Lower-ground and basement kitchens bring their own considerations: natural light is limited, so lighting design matters more than usual, and ventilation routes need thinking through early.
The practical issue that catches people out in Brighton is access. Many streets are permit-controlled with no off-street loading, and delivery of long worktops and tall units into an upper-floor conversion can require planning that a fitter in a suburban cul-de-sac never thinks about. It is not usually a large cost, but it is a genuine one, and it belongs in the conversation before a date is booked.
With short runs, the appliance decisions matter more than usual. Slimline dishwashers, a single oven with a combination microwave above it and a 60cm induction hob free up whole units compared with the full-size equivalents, and in a four-metre kitchen one recovered unit is a meaningful percentage of your storage.
Height is the resource these rooms have and suburban kitchens often waste. Regency and Victorian conversions frequently have ceilings well above two and a half metres, so taking units to the ceiling adds a full tier of storage — seasonal and rarely-used items go up top, everyday items stay reachable.
In lower-ground and basement kitchens, light does more for the room than any finish. Pale worktops, reflective splashbacks and properly specified task lighting change how these spaces feel far more than upgrading the door style would. If there is any scope to improve natural light, that is where the money works hardest.
Supply-only covers the units, worktops and appliances delivered to your door. Supplied-and-fitted adds installation: removing the old kitchen, fitting units and worktops, connecting appliances and making good. The gap between the two columns above is the fitting element, and it is the part most likely to move once someone has seen the room.
Plumbing and electrical work beyond a like-for-like swap, plastering, flooring and any structural change sit outside both columns and are quoted separately by your installer.

Design My Kitchen — Free →The figures above are not marketing numbers. They come straight out of the same calculator that powers our AI designer: cabinetry priced per square metre by door style, worktops priced by material and area, an appliance package matched to your budget band, VAT on the supply, then fitting at £1,200 plus £100 per square metre. Whatever the designer quotes you on screen is what these tables say.
Every range is exactly that — a range. The final figure comes from your installer after a site survey, because only a measured survey catches the things that actually move the price: the state of the floor, where the services run, and whether the walls are square.
