Why we design with Leicht

German kitchens are known for engineering you can feel: drawers that run smoothly year after year, doors that stay aligned and finishes that wear well. Leicht is the German brand we work with most, and the one we have on display in Byfleet.

Every Leicht kitchen is made to order in Germany. Cabinets are factory-built to tight tolerances, internal fittings are part of the design rather than optional extras, and the kitchen is designed for a lifespan of 20 to 30 years or more.

We plan the kitchen with you in the showroom, specify it down to the drawer inserts and lighting, and install it with our own team. If you are weighing up other options, our guides to German and British kitchens and Italian and German kitchens set out the differences honestly.

What sets a Leicht kitchen apart

Precision engineering

Fronts are set with a consistent 4mm gap, even around corners, so lines run cleanly from one end of the room to the other.

Made to measure

Units are built in virtually any height, width and depth, so a design fits the room without fillers or spacers.

Continuous wood grain

Wood veneers can be matched so the grain flows across doors and drawers, horizontally or vertically.

Blue lacquered Leicht drawer fronts with slim metal handles

Thousands of colours

Matt and gloss lacquers in thousands of RAL and NCS shades, alongside wood, concrete, glass and metal finishes.

Inside the cabinets

Drawer inserts, bespoke shelving and integrated lighting are planned in from the start rather than added later.

What a German kitchen costs

These are typical ranges for the kitchen furniture, internal storage, design and delivery. Worktops, appliances and installation are priced on top, and we give you a full itemised quote once the design is agreed.

A well-planned layout in standard finishes, with full German cabinet construction and internal fittings.

Mid-range

£30,000–£50,000

Larger rooms, islands and more choice of fronts, colours and storage inside the cabinets.

High-end

Open-plan designs, continuous wood veneers, tall walls of units and fully bespoke details.

As a guide, quartz worktops add around £3,000–£6,000, Dekton or porcelain £4,000–£8,000 and natural stone £5,000–£10,000. Premium appliances can add £5,000–£20,000. Read the full cost guide

German or British?

A German kitchen usually costs more at the outset. What you pay for is factory precision, fittings that come as standard and a kitchen that lasts longer, which is why it often works out as better value if you plan to stay in the house.

More about Leicht kitchens

How much does a German kitchen cost?

As a guide, an entry-level German kitchen costs around £20,000 to £30,000, a mid-range kitchen £30,000 to £50,000 and a high-end kitchen £50,000 to £80,000 or more. That usually covers the furniture, internal storage, design and delivery; worktops, appliances and installation are added on top.

German kitchen cost guide

Are German kitchens worth the money?

For most people who plan to stay in their home, yes. High-density carcasses, engineered hinges and runners, consistent colour matching and premium lacquers mean a German kitchen is designed to last 20 to 30 years or more, so the cost is spread over a much longer life.

How long does a Leicht kitchen take?

Leicht kitchens are made to order, so allow around 12 to 16 weeks from placing the order to installation, depending on the specification. The design stage before that depends on how quickly decisions are made.

What is the difference between German and British kitchens?

German kitchens are factory-engineered with internal fittings included as standard and are typically designed to last 20 to 30 years or more. British kitchens vary widely: some are handmade to a very high standard, while others are assembled on site with fittings as optional extras.

German vs British kitchens

Can a Leicht kitchen fit an awkward or unusual room?

Yes. Leicht units can be made in virtually any height, width and depth, so the kitchen can be planned around sloping ceilings, alcoves and odd dimensions without fillers or spacers.

What finishes and colours are available?

Fronts come in matt and gloss lacquer, wood veneer, concrete, glass and metal finishes, with thousands of RAL and NCS colours. Wood veneers can be matched so the grain runs continuously across the doors, horizontally or vertically.
