That sort of price drop is very common with double glazing but so far I've not found that sort of drop with a kitchen. I'd be very happy if I could, my kitchen is smaller than yours and for the stuff I want I've been quoted £9.5K :/

Christ ! .. gold plated taps ?

Where have you been to get quotes ?

MFI & Magnet are very expensive. We were quoted £10.5K with magnet

Burble · 15-02-2007, 11:45

So far I've only been to a couple of independant companies.

It's the granite worktops and splashbacks that are really hurting the price.

When I'm back from holiday I'll ring a few more companies and get some more quotes. £9.5k was more than I wanted to pay!

Piggymon · 15-02-2007, 11:47

I'll let you know what we get quoted for the worktops & upstands.

B&Q's cabinets are very nice and reasonable - the £2.5K quote was including all cabinets, soft close drawers, intergrated Fridge/Freezer, 6 burner gas hob, double oven and chimney

You could get the cabinets from them and then the worktops from eleswhere.

EDIT : and semi-intergrated dishwasher

£2.5k for all that lot? Blimey, that's good going. I looked at the worktop link you posted so I'd already planned to give them a shout and see what it'll cost direct from them.

As I said to the B&Q chap, their products are excellent and so are their prices ..... apart from the fitting charges which are waaaaaay OTT.

Really hope these guys can sort our worktop out - I'm on the verge of crying because I can't get the kitchen I want

Burble · 15-02-2007, 11:52

I'm sure you'll be able to get what you want, although it may take a bit of looking around. I think you were pretty lucky finding those lovely windows so quickly so it'll all balance out

Piggymon · 15-02-2007, 12:39

It's just so bloody frustrating

We've spent weeks looking at kitchens, finally decided on this one and then it gets taken away from us :/

If it came down to it I would bite the bullet and pay for it to be fitted IF there wasn't this 3 month+ waiting list !

We could change the worktop for a normal one and it would be a damnsite cheaper and we could get it done all within our timescale but I know everytime I went into the kitchen I would be thinking " I didn't really want you ".

The reason we really want the solid surface is that the kitchen is going to be a U shape but due to where the boiler and the window is the sink will be off centre. If we have a moulded or undermounted sink then it won't be noticable.

Hopefully these worktop guys can come back with a price within budget and a delivery/installation time within our timeframe

Is it? I don't think that's really a problem. I just want it cos they look nice

If all else fails, the B&Q kitchen plus the Magnet worktop brings us up to budget

Huddy - you don't know any plasterers do you mate ?
