At The White Kitchen Company, kitchen cabinets cost £1,180 per metre in our Cottage range, £1,818 per metre in Town House and £2,372 per metre in Manor House. Each price includes hand-painting in any Farrow & Ball or Little Greene colour and VAT. An 8-metre Cottage kitchen therefore comes to about £9,440 for the cabinetry.
A per-metre price is the quickest way to get a realistic budget before you speak to anyone. This guide explains what the figure covers, how to measure your own run of cabinets, and what makes one metre cost more than another.
Our kitchen cabinet prices per metre
Our kitchen prices page works from three ranges. All three are solid wood and in-frame, and all prices include painting and VAT.
Cottage: £1,180 per metre
The essential range. A simple run of cupboards, hand-painted in the colour of your choice.
Town House: £1,818 per metre
A well-specified kitchen, with more drawers and more of the details people tend to want once they start planning.
Manor House: £2,372 per metre
The full specification, for kitchens built around larders, drawer banks and taller runs of cabinetry.
What the per-metre price includes
- Solid wood cabinetry with no MDF, MFC or chipboard: Paulownia carcasses, beech frames and doors, poplar panels and solid oak dovetailed drawers.
- Hand-painting in any Farrow & Ball or Little Greene colour.
- VAT.
- Cabinets made in 10–12 weeks and delivered fully assembled, never flat-packed.
What it does not include
Worktops, appliances, sinks, taps and fitting are priced separately. Fitting can be done by our recommended fitters (see kitchen fitters) or by your own fitter, because the cabinets arrive ready-built.
How to work out your own price
Measure the running metres
Measure along the walls where you want cabinets, in metres, and add the length of any island. Count base and wall cabinets along the same stretch of wall once, not twice.
Multiply by the range
Eight metres in Cottage is 8 × £1,180 = £9,440. The same eight metres in Town House is £14,544, and in Manor House £18,976. The calculator on our prices page does this for you.

What makes one metre cost more than another
Drawers versus cupboards
Drawers take more making than doors. In our bespoke kitchen cost guide, a 600mm three-drawer base cabinet is about £1,105, against about £625 for a two-door cupboard of the same width.
Larders and tall cabinets
Full-height larders use far more timber and hardware per metre than base units. If you want one, our pantry and larder cupboards show the options.
How high the cabinetry goes
Wall cupboards, glazing and cabinets that run up to the ceiling all add cost to the same metre of wall.
From cabinets to a complete kitchen
