I've fitted IKEA, B&Q, wickes and howden...IKEA were the easiest to get spares when you damage the panels. The carcases are much of a muchness IMO
Worktop wise as long as it is fitted well and sealed they are all the same.
I fitted them all and probably spent alot more time getting everything perfect.

Our architect has recommended Howdens to us over Ikea, we're going to get carcasses from them then go custom with the rest, hopefully (budget dependent).
Literally just got off the phone from our mortgage provider giving us a decision in principle so it looks like project demolish the back of our flat and rebuild complete with sunken ofuro (Japanese bath) sticking out into our garden covered by a glass box and lots more glass is GO. Which is exciting and nerve wracking in equal amounts!
Congrats @laner that's great news.

I've heard Ikea kitchens are best avoided, they don't have space built in to the cabinets for the pipes to run behind them, so you either have to run pipes through your cabinets, leave extra space behind them, or dig out part of your wall.
We're getting Howdens, B&Q and Benchmarx in to quote us for ours, between them they should be able to replicate whatever you liked at Ikea. And probably Worktop Express for the worktop.
