Flooring. Work out how many square metres you need to cover. Find out cost per square metre of material you'd like to cover it in - laminate or carpet or tiles etc. Multiply it out and add 10% for waste. Fitting and extras - are u DIY or paying to have fitted? Best to get a quote or ask at the suppliers shops. Don't forget for carpets you need underlay and gripper.
Kitchen. How many units, how many appliances? It's impossible to give an exact price. You could get a cheap kitchen for maybe £4000, but more like £10,000 incl taking out old kitchen.
Bathroom. For a bath, wash basin and wc you could get for £2000 if you were careful with minimal tiling.
The more time you spend preparing and pricing it yourself the more you will find ways of saving money. If you go for simple colour schemes, you will be able to get better quality materials, because you will have more buying flexibility and can take advantage of sales. For example, tiling can add a huge amount to a kitchen or a bathroom from both the cost of the tiles and the costs of having the tiling done. Small areas of quality tiling can look very good, but large areas of cheaper tiles is more practical, but less aesthetic.
Finally, work out the best order to have the work done as well. Don't have new flooring put down in by entrance, and then new kitchen fitted later. Your new flooring will get spoiled. If you've got the cash available, have kitchen and bathroom done together by same people. You can save money by plumber fitting kitchen sink, dishwasher,etc and then doing bathroom plumbing. Ditto electrician. Ditto tiling.
