AlanM Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 don't know about on the net but MFI had some pretty reasonable offers on short ago, just a bit soon for me but I will be going back a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Last one I installed was a B&Q one from the throw it together yourself range. Not bad quality, and cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 If you know any builders give magnets trade or howdens a try if you have them in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 went to look at the howdens range last week jamie , not much of a showroom , and no prices available , took a few cards that were on the counter , one carpenter came over and measured up , no price from him yet. the ones we looked at in the stores were ok , but the fitting charge was more than the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Agree with Jamie, Howdens is where we source all our kitchens from generally. Prior to this job, i bought my last one from Ikea. Cheap as chips and not the best but it sold the house no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 be interesting to see what figure the carpenter comes back with, its been over a week and i dont want to phone him , but will give me a better idea of things. ive done a quick google , and some of the offers on there seem to good to be true , thats why i asked might have found someone whos used a net company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supranature Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I use Lannervale in Liverpool. They are manufacturers, and I will eat my Supra if you can get better. Check out their prices. Went there yesterday for some replacement handles for a job, £2.34 + VAT. B+Q- £12.99! I kid you not............. All their carcasses are 18mm, you will find that cheap kitchens have 15mm. 3mm may not sound much of a difference, but when assembled they are much more sturdier and solid.

j_jza80 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 http://www.symphony-group.co.uk/privatedev/rangeoverview.aspx These guys do the best budget kitchens on the market. I sell these myself at work (I run a plumbers merchants), although you're a bit far from us at York. Get in contact with them though, they'll be able to recommend a local dealer. They do flat pack and pre assembled units, with the best carcasses and hinges/runners of any budget kitchen. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Just be careful who you buy from. I worked in corporate insolvency for a little time and I closed down a whole host of kitchen companies. All the companies left kitchens with doors missings, parts missing etc etc. Another trick is that MFI and Magnet often hire outside fitters who often work for the above mentioned companies.

Hope this helps.thanks from the web site there is a local dealer , ill go and see what they have , the carpenter came back with the howdens design and a price of £3.500, which i think is a bit to much for what we want , but saying that a grand is probably the fitting cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
