Profit & Comparison
What is the average kitchen fitter day rate in the UK?
Kitchen fitter day rates typically range from £200 to £300 per day nationally. London and South East rates reach £260–£380/day. Kitchen fitting is multi-disciplined — combining carpentry, basic plumbing connections, and electrical first fixes — which justifies rates above a standard carpenter.
