Open-Plan Kitchen Cost: Wall Removal & Renovation Guide 2026
Creating an open-plan kitchen does not always mean building an extension. Removing internal walls to connect kitchen, dining, and living areas can cost as little as £5,000–£12,000. This guide covers both routes.
Cost breakdown
Option 1: Wall removal only
If you have enough existing space, removing one or two internal walls creates open-plan living for £5,000–£12,000. This includes structural assessment, beam installation (if load-bearing), plastering, new flooring, and making good. Our Vision Draft (£29.99) shows you what is possible.
Option 2: Wall removal + new kitchen
If you are opening up the space and installing a new kitchen, budget £15,000–£40,000. The wall removal costs £5,000–£12,000, and the kitchen fit-out costs £10,000–£28,000 depending on specification.
| Option | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Wall removal only (making good) | £5,000–£12,000 |
| Wall removal + budget kitchen | £15,000–£25,000 |
| Wall removal + mid-range kitchen | £25,000–£40,000 |
| Wall removal + extension + kitchen | £55,000–£130,000 |
