This is an estimate based on average 2026 prices. Actual costs may vary. Always request multiple quotes for an exact price.
Cost factors
The total cost usually consists of:
- Kitchen units and cabinets: 35-50% of the total
- Built-in appliances: 20-30% of the total
- Worktop and splashback: 10-20% of the total
- Installation, plumbing, and electrical: 15-25% of the total
These percentages can vary depending on the specific situation, chosen brand, and quality of materials.
Why do prices vary?
- Layout type: An island or L-shaped kitchen requires more installation work than a straight layout, increasing labor and plumbing costs.
- Brand and origin: Kitchens from IKEA or DIY chains are considerably cheaper than custom-made units from a specialist kitchen store.
- Worktop material: Laminate is the cheapest option; composite stone (such as Silestone) and natural stone (marble, granite) are significantly more expensive but last longer.
- Plumbing and electrical adjustments: Relocating water, gas, or electrical connections significantly increases installation costs.
Subsidies & incentives
In Belgium, this type of work usually does not qualify for a fixed regional grant like insulation or heat pumps do. The biggest financial impact usually comes from VAT, renovation loans, and local exceptions.
What usually helps
- For homes older than 10 years, work carried out by a contractor often qualifies for 6% VAT instead of 21%.
- Mijn VerbouwLening in Flanders and ECORENO in Brussels can help spread a larger renovation budget.
- Municipalities may offer extra support for accessibility, de-paving, or neighbourhood renewal, but this is never automatic.
Always check
- Whether a notification or permit is required.
- Whether the work forms part of a broader renovation that does qualify under a regional scheme.
