Yes - and its too fecking late to change it now

Try B & Q
I bought when they were having a pretty big sale, the Cooke & Lewis stuff is pretty good
However I've also had non Cooke & Lewis stuff and its also pretty good.

Big plus is they will also do everything for you from removal of old/elelctrics/plastering/install new

We have just had a new kitchen installed. Units came from Wickes DIY and their own installers. They had the type of finish we wanted and are very pleased with the units and the fitting service. Had a quote from the local Magnets, it was cheaper but the units were just not quite the right finish we had in mind.

Good luck !

Probably 3-4k (told you it was on a budget!)

Now that is a budget!

Howden's is worth consideration

Is that including appliances?

I had my own kitchen done not that long ago
Probably cost me around 6K including a rewire,replaster and appliances.

Ikea stuff is supposed to be pretty good for those on a budget.

Dingdongler

Don't worry about that, any tradesman will be able to buy it for you. Or just open an acct with a letter with a heading that says 'Jaybird's property developers'

I put my own in about 18 mths ago and I'm pretty skilled. Done a few over the years from different people. We used homebase and I was very impressed with the quality of all the kit. got a good deal on NEF appliances too. i.e double gas oven, hob, cooker hood. decent sink and taps. having said that, it was about £3500. but we have units running around 3 walls.

I gutted the kitchen back to brick, full replaster, new wiring circuits, lighting/sockets, plinth lighting, under cabinet lighting, new laminate flooring.

probably about £500 in bits doing that.

paid a friend mates rates to help with the worktops to joint them properly- quite hard as 4 w/tops needed joining and it has to be spot on.


I can't see someone purchasing and getting a kitchen installed for £4k, unless its minimal and no appliances.

it took me a solid 4 weeks of graft. 2 weeks off work, then 2 weeks of evenings and weekends. kitchens are the worst job in any area of a hse.

think Ikea kitchens are rubbish, but just a personal view.

Ikea units are not very good IMO nothin to scribe off the back and not very good quality.
