or install units and tile up to the legs of the units because I'm using

latter is cheaper but is it the right way to go?


You can do either.

If you think that you may change the kitchen furniture during the
lifetime of the tiles then you may want to tile to the edge.


If you have floor standing appliances it makes sense either to tile
back to the wall where they are or to tile part way underneath and
fill the back area with something suitable (e.g. ply, cheaper tiles)
of the same depth.

Whether it's worth it depends on whether the tiles are £20 a metre or
£120 a metre.
