Average Installation cost in Bournemouth

These figures are estimated ranges based on current UK trade pricing and published cost guides from Checkatrade and MyBuilder (July 2026). Your actual quote will depend on kitchen size, material choice, and any extras such as cut-outs or upstands. Full worktop installation (supply and fit): Laminate runs from £588 to £1,178 for a typical kitchen. Quartz or granite comes in at £1,448 to £3,900 for a standard kitchen run. Bournemouth pricing sits in the mid-range south coast market, below the Poole BH13 premium and above the more rural Dorset market. Worktop replacement only (existing cabinets, like-for-like swap): Labour and templating only with the customer supplying material costs £291 to £580. Stone replacement on existing carcasses, fully fitted, starts around £772 to £1,448. Worktop repair (chip, crack or scratch resurfacing): Minor laminate repair runs £75 to £150. Stone chip or crack repair is £150 to £333, depending on the damage and access. Templating or measuring visit (if charged separately): Typically £125 to £250 in the BH1 to BH11 area. Confirm whether templating is included when you first enquire. Removal and disposal of old worktop: Around £77 to £180 added to the fitting job. Stone worktops cost more to remove due to weight.

Types of Materials found in Bournemouth

Quartz is the dominant stone upgrade across the BH1 to BH11 postcodes. The mix of Edwardian terraces in Boscombe and Pokesdown, the larger detached houses in Talbot Woods and Westbourne, and the post-war semis across BH8 and BH9 all represent a substantial and active renovation market. Installed prices run from around £318 to £498 per square metre. Multiple stone businesses in the Bournemouth and Poole area cover all BH postcodes. Granite is most commonly specified in BH3 Talbot Woods and BH4 Westbourne, where the larger Edwardian and interwar detached houses have more generous kitchen layouts. These properties have been substantially renovated over recent decades and the owners tend to want natural stone over engineered surfaces. Granite also appears in the larger cliff-top properties in BH5 Boscombe and BH6 Southbourne. Installed granite costs between £298 and £478 per square metre. STONE FOR BH3 TALBOT WOODS AND BH4 WESTBOURNE: Talbot Woods and Branksome Woods in BH3 and BH4 are the most sought-after inland residential areas of Bournemouth. The houses here are typically large Edwardian detached properties on good-sized plots. Kitchens in these properties have often been extended into the rear garden, creating the kind of open-plan kitchen-dining space where stone worktops are the standard specification. Both quartz and granite are commonly used, and the budgets support premium choices.
