Island cost by level
| Job | Typical price | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Budget island: laminate top, painted MDF | €2,000 to €4,000 | Laminate top, painted MDF, no sink or hob. |

The space it needs
1200 mm clear between the island and the units on every side you walk, plus the island's own depth. Less than that and a peninsula does the job better.

- Nothing plumbed: the cheapest island, worktop and seats.
- A sink: new water and waste under the floor, €500 to €1,500.
- A hob: a new circuit and extraction, €500 to €2,000.
