I've just been looking at cost of Wickes doors, as I was planning to buy full kitchen from there, ease of doing it all through one place, high street name etc, but...

I went to a little one-man place on a trading estate oop North, whilst I was visiting lots of showrooms. Guy had about 4 kitchens in his tiny showroom. And a dog. Which was nice.

Anyway... Wickes were coming in about £150-£200 for 'standard' size doors (715mm on 300-500mm units). One of the kitchens in this one-man job were very similar, possibly even exact same manufacturer as a Wickes one I was keen on. Except his price is more £60-70 per door.

So... yeah, I'll get Wickes in to do a design. And buy from him. Should save about £1k just on doors etc.

Ignore my earlier enthusiasm. Price difference is in the finish. Further investigation reveals Wickes doors are a 4xlacquered finish, the other guy i'd found is vinyl wrap. Hence price diff. (Both mdf doors)
