“What’s the total going to be?” is the question we get most often — and from most installers in Prague you won’t get a straight answer. Here’s a transparent breakdown of measurement, utility prep, installation and worktop costs in Prague 2026, based on actual quotes we’ve issued. Useful especially if you’re an expat unfamiliar with the local market.
Why nobody answers “how much” directly
The final price depends on dozens of variables — line length, cabinet count, anchoring type, worktop material, appliance count, access, utility preparation. Most installers prefer not to share numbers — they don’t want awkward comparisons, and they want room to “adjust at the end”.
The problem is that you need a realistic budget range before you choose a contractor. Here’s the breakdown across our four services, as we’d quote them in Prague 2026.
1. Measurement and project documentation
Technician visit, geometric measurement, consultation on layout, and the project pack (floor plan + IKEA product codes + utility assessment).
| Scope | Indicative price (incl. VAT) | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Straight kitchen up to 3 m, Prague | 1,500 – 2,500 CZK | Measurement, consultation, IKEA project |
| L/U kitchen, Prague | 2,500 – 4,000 CZK | Including utility check |
| Complex with island | 4,000 – 6,000 CZK | Including electrical notes |
| Outside Prague | + travel | Transparent in quote |
We credit the measurement fee against the total if you then book the installation with us.
2. Utility preparation (electrical, water, waste)
Most new kitchens need some utility adjustment. The cost depends on how many sockets shift, how far the water has to move, and whether new circuits are needed for appliances.
| Scope | Indicative price (incl. VAT) |
|---|---|
| Moving 2–3 sockets, minor adjustments | 3,000 – 6,000 CZK |
| Standard prep (water, sockets, new circuit) | 8,000 – 15,000 CZK |
| Complex (new wiring for the whole kitchen) | 15,000 – 30,000 CZK |
| Inspection certificate (if required) | + 2,000 – 3,500 CZK |
Materials (cable, boxes, pipe, fittings) are included in our fixed price, not added on the invoice afterwards.
3. Kitchen installation
The installation itself — from delivery check through cabinet anchoring, worktop, appliances, all the way to the handover protocol.
| Type and size | Indicative price (incl. VAT) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Small straight IKEA kitchen (up to 3 m) | from 8,000 CZK | 1–2 days |
| Standard L kitchen | 15,000 – 25,000 CZK | 2–3 days |
| Larger U kitchen | 25,000 – 40,000 CZK | 3–4 days |
| With island, many appliances | 40,000 – 60,000 CZK | 4–5 days |
For brands other than IKEA (Bauhaus, Möbelix, XXXLutz, DanKüchen) the price is usually 10–20% higher — different anchoring systems, heavier cabinets, more complex adjustment.
4. Worktop installation and replacement
Driven primarily by material, then by dimensions and number of cut-outs.
| Material | Material + install (3 m, 1 cut-out) |
|---|---|
| Laminate chipboard | 4,000 – 8,000 CZK |
| Veneered chipboard | 8,000 – 14,000 CZK |
| Solid wood | 14,000 – 25,000 CZK |
| HPL compact | 15,000 – 28,000 CZK |
| Engineered stone | 25,000 – 50,000 CZK |

Hidden add-ons most installers won’t mention up front: removal of the old furniture, carrying things up stairs without a lift, “more complex anchoring”, “weekend rate”, protocol issuance fee. We list all of this in writing in the quote — or it’s included.
What typically pushes the price up
- Complex layout — corner cabinets, island, breakfast bar elements
- Atypical worktop — rounded edges, integrated sinks, undermount
- Many built-in appliances — each one adds installation time
- Difficult access — top floor without lift, narrow entrance, parking
- Utility prep required — see above
Example: IKEA L-kitchen in a 3+1 panel flat
3.5 + 2.2 m kitchen, IKEA METOD, laminate worktop, 5 built-in appliances, panel building with lift, Prague 6.
- Measurement and project pack: 2,500 CZK
- Utility prep (socket moves, new dishwasher circuit): 9,500 CZK
- Kitchen installation + handover protocol: 19,000 CZK
- Worktop (laminate, 5.7 m, 2 cut-outs): 9,500 CZK
- Total: 40,500 CZK incl. VAT
No surprises on the final invoice, fixed price agreed in writing up front.
What to do when another quote is 30% lower
A lower quote almost always means something isn’t included. Common cases:
- Materials (cable, plugs, silicone) billed separately on the invoice
- No handover protocol — or only for a fee
- “Hourly rate” instead of a fixed price — overruns are billed extra
- Subcontractor chains — the firm itself doesn’t do the work, hires someone cheaper
When comparing quotes, always make them write down exactly what’s included and what isn’t — ideally with a maximum duration. Otherwise you’re comparing apples to oranges.
