Well there's never a direct correlation between size and cost. You want a fair bit of electrics included in your price, which is never going to be cheap if you don't want some joker doing it. Timber worktops round a Belfast sink are not a 5 minute job, there's a fair chunk of tiling to do, full plastering means several visits instead of one big hit and so on and so on.
It all adds up. And if you want it done properly you've got to pay someone a proper rate - skilled craftsmen working for tea and biscuits and a pat on the head are hard to find.
4k is unrealistic, the jump to 12 is daft. 7-9 for a good job at a good price from a skilled worker who earns a sensible SE England wage.

That was the first plan - do as much of it myself as possible apart from G&E / plumbing / plastering etc. But got swamped with work and now want something finished before mid August. Unfortunately it's not so swamped that I can spunk 12k+VAT on a 2 x 5 meter kitchen.
