For the alcoves, on either side of a fireplace on the ground floor, we're looking at 80 x 40 x 5 cm floating shelves x 4, with 2 doored cupboards - we'll be providing the handles (and two f0ans to ventilate the cupboards), painted with Johnstones acrylic - There's no fancy routing, and I had no idea that there are different types of MDF

If you give a better idea of size/number of cupboards/style of doors/number of shelves/shelf support style/specific paint finish (spray/brush/roller/oil/waterbased etc)/any facing details or routed shelf edges/type of MDF/Which floor of the house/Lighting/Hinge Hardware & Door Hardware then I could give you an idea of cost.
Generally speaking it's going to be £1000+ for a decent painted alcove cupboard with movable shelves/handpainted/installed on the ground floor. That represents around £250 in materials mdf/paint/shelf hardware/door hardware.
You can do it cheaper if you just want 3 coats of cheap paint with a roller, no meaningful sanding of edges and cheap hardware.
