Not very unfortunately. There's some stuff I can do, I can probably install cupboards and the like, and I'm not such a bad painter - it's how we saved money on the bathroom, I got the professionals to do the skilled work and I did the grunt stuff.
But a kitchen is so much more complicated - it needs a redesign (we have two corners of dead space I'd need to start using, and we need to have an extractor fan fitted) so I think I'd need a fitter who can project manage too. I imagine this is going to be a bit of a beast of a job right?

Same as us really - I did the demo work and ripped everything out, I did the unit installs (though they came pre-assembled which was a great help), I did simple plumbing but I had a carpenter do the worktop, tiler do the walls and floor, a plasterer render the walls and then electrician and gas safe engineer do the hob/lights/sockets etc. Including all fees and all appliances/units/tiles/paint etc ours was about 10k from memory though I may have rose tinted specs on. Oh - we also had steel inserted after we knocked down a tiny, awkward pantry to make use of the space - that was probably the biggest single cost from that 10k - maybe 2 or so.
Nice kitchen though. Absolute state now, mind, with a baby - but we had a great 3 months before then.
Perhaps someone with leccy knowledge can talk about actually installing the extractor. But as for actually fitting the thing, it's relatively straight forward if you know how to use a tape measure and have something like this:
And we did the design ourselves. Unless you live in an Escher painting I think it'd be OK.
Have a play around on things like the kitchen planning software on Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/customer-service/planning-tools/kitchen-planner/

How handy are you? You can easily get all the stuff for that money (units, appliances, some kind of worktop etc) but doing any gas/electrics will cost. As will getting anyone in to fit the stuff if you're not confident? I tried to do a lot of ours for that reason but it took me a long time and in the end needed someone as the disruption was too much.
